Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 vs G3 Boats Jet Tunnel 1860 WOFJ 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 is a pontoon design and the G3 Boats Jet Tunnel 1860 WOFJ 2013 is a tunnel hull design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 measures 26,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 7,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats Jet Tunnel 1860 WOFJ 2013 at 18,1 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 tips the scales at 3 360 lbs - 2 660 lbs more than the G3 Boats Jet Tunnel 1860 WOFJ 2013 at 700 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 has a 240-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Jet Tunnel 1860 WOFJ 2013's 60-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 carries 40 gallons versus 7 gallons in the G3 Boats Jet Tunnel 1860 WOFJ 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 is rated for 15 passengers, while the G3 Boats Jet Tunnel 1860 WOFJ 2013 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats Elite 326 DC 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 15 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The G3 Boats Jet Tunnel 1860 WOFJ 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
