Thinking about buying one, what do you think
Go for it!
Also check a Lowes out! Think you will like their layout better. Almost purchased a G-3 until I saw a Lowes.
My opinion good decent boat, company backs the product well, and yamaha is a dependable outboard. One caveat, choose a dealer wisely. Good luck.
Yeah Kaz has that right! Find a good dealer selling boats is very hard! I got screwed on some of my dealings with my dealer! LOL they are out of business now! I was never to much into yamaha and I have always had mercury myself and that is what Lowes has on it. They all run the same!
If they're closed now can probably figure who you bought from. No names are necessary to post but they were not focused on fishing boats which in my opinion is at least a place to start when evaluating dealers. Glad your boat is doing well.Quote:

Not impossible but it will be more expensive to do a merc on a G3, just like putting a yamaha on a tracker or a lowe is going to run the final ticket up. Good luck, I'd buy either in a 4 stroke, both are good.
you must be hangin with monty to much usin those big words is caveat a dealer or something you eat???Quote:

Kind of if you find the boat you like and you can be happy with it then buy it! That is why there is so many brands just like pickups. I wouldn't drive a Chevy if you gave it to me because I don't like the Chevy dealer in Springfield and the one in Bolivar tried to put the screws to me on a new pickup several years ago. I don't like John Deere tractors because the parts are higher priced than IH. And I can normally get most of the IH parts that I need from any auto parts store.
Not sure where your loctated at but, I live in Lebanon, MO where they are made. I can give them a call and see if they could give you a tour and answer any questions you may have.Quote:

I agree if you have found one you like then you should buy it. You will find something you want different in every boat even after you buy one. Good luck hope you buy what you want
Thanks for all the info, sorry for for not responding any sooner I've been working a little ot
gotta pay for that boat somehow huh?Quote:
