G3 Boats LX 22SE 2006 vs G3 Boats Outfitter Jon - 1860 WOFJ Jet Tunnel 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The G3 Boats LX 22SE 2006 vs G3 Boats Outfitter Jon - 1860 WOFJ Jet Tunnel 2008 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The G3 Boats LX 22SE 2006 measures 22,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats Outfitter Jon - 1860 WOFJ Jet Tunnel 2008 at 18,0 feet (2008).

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.

Rated to 115 hp, the G3 Boats LX 22SE 2006 has a 55-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Outfitter Jon - 1860 WOFJ Jet Tunnel 2008's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 3 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The G3 Boats LX 22SE 2006 is rated for 12 passengers, while the G3 Boats Outfitter Jon - 1860 WOFJ Jet Tunnel 2008 caps at 6.
