Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
G3 Boats Welded Jon - 1756 VBW 2010 vs G3 Boats X24SS 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee G3 Boats Welded Jon - 1756 VBW 2010 against a pontoon G3 Boats X24SS 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely 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 X24SS 2013 measures 23,9 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 7,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the G3 Boats Welded Jon - 1756 VBW 2010 at 16,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the G3 Boats Welded Jon - 1756 VBW 2010 tips the scales at 425 lbs — 183 lbs more than the G3 Boats X24SS 2013 at 242 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The G3 Boats X24SS 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the G3 Boats Welded Jon - 1756 VBW 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the G3 Boats X24SS 2013 could be the deciding factor.

The G3 Boats Welded Jon - 1756 VBW 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
