The G3 Boats LX3 25 2004 vs G3 Boats Outfitter 1756 WOF 2013 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 LX3 25 2004 measures 25,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 8,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats Outfitter 1756 WOF 2013 at 16,8 feet (2013).

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 225 hp, the G3 Boats LX3 25 2004 has a 175-hp advantage over the G3 Boats Outfitter 1756 WOF 2013's 50-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 Outfitter 1756 WOF 2013 carries 7 gallons versus 3 gallons in the G3 Boats LX3 25 2004. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats LX3 25 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the G3 Boats LX3 25 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The G3 Boats Outfitter 1756 WOF 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
