Whats the OBs Thoughts on G3 Boats

Posted on 9/23/14 at 3:03 pm
Ran across a seemingly good deal on a G3, its the one on the right in this LINK
Its a 2012' with a 70 Yamaha on it. Sets on a galvanized trailer and is equipped with a 55# hand control MinnKota. Ill mostly use it to to marsh fish and pull the kids (2 ages 9-10) on a tube. Feller started at $13900 and is down to $11900. Whats the OBs thoughts?

Well built boats IMO. Buddy had a 16' side console with a yammy 2 stroke that was a great all around boat. Sold it for something bigger but it treated us well.

Should be great for marsh fishing.
RAd to move boards.

Thanks for the move.
My only hold back on this one is that my buddy mentioned to me thats hes going to be selling his 19' Xpress with a 115 e-tech (not really a fan) at the end of the year. I was holding out for that one and I ran across this one. Its a little smaller but it has a Yamaha which I wanted and is $4,000 cheaper.

thats actually not a bad deal at all if you've checked it out...

Havent checked it out. Its in Lake Charles and im 3 1/2 hrs away.

Are you absolutely sure he's selling his boat? One of the pros is that you know how well (or not) that he kept it up.

Not 100%
He told me hes going buy a new 22' Nautic Star in the spring. Hes offshore right now. When he gets back in ill make sure he still want to sell it and didnt change his mind.

Sounds like an ok deal if everything checks out. G3 are in the middle of the line for aluminum boats. Nothing wrong with them outside of being mass produced and machine welded.

Saving up for a used 1756 cc, I like them.

What would you say the tier is for non customs?

We use G3's (1860's) as small work boats at my office. They hold up very well, despite levels of abuse that never cease to amaze me (and never cease the guys at the shop who maintain our boats and motors).

I need to come work with you. Hiring?

We had a 2010 1756 DLX CC, ended up selling it to my uncle. He uses it 3 to 4 times a week and just repowered it from the original 70hp 2 stroke we had on it. He rags the crap out of it and it's held up well. I always enjoyed fishing out of it. Good boats.
ETA: Not a 2010...sorry. Forgot we bought that thing when I was in high school. Think it may have been a 2006 or 2007 model year.

Thoughts on G3 Boats
All I remember about a buddies 1860 was all the rivets popping out of the floor.
Posted on 9/23/14 at 10:51 pm to QuietTiger
This one is all welded.
Thanks for the feedback fellas.

yep. mine is. I will never own another G3. ever. not counting the electrolysis that ate up my transom because they used treated plywood for the transom instead of aluminum, and G3 wouldn't do anything about it.
ended up screwing down the floor and having someone weld the holes in the transom.
