I agree with ProGrizz! I run a 18ft G3. I use it for Waterfowl hunting, Fishing, Crabbing etc. Yes it will beat you up in rough but because of the lightness I can go to any ramp! Im a fan of not even putting the trailer in the water. I back it in just to the hubs and do my thing. Second it only drawals 6in of water. I can pretty much go any where! Third, I have a 60hp and get 34knots wide open. So I dont need a big motor. Fourth, It saves gas! I like the G3 because the fuel tank is built in up front so it planes and rides better when Its just me and dog! It has high sides so when it gets bad im better off. It also has a bass boat lay out with the large front and rear decks with seat post adapters. Hope this helps out. Good luck.
