Considering getting one of the Sportsman models. Thought I would see if anyone here had one or had any opinions about the boat and G3 as a company. Thanks!

I have a buddy with one and he don't care for it much. Seems like some of the decks or something are wood.
BRM has me one on order:biggrin
Not a G3 tho. Yours is the Xpress Hyper Lift Crappie Boat.Quote:

I don't have one but my buddy does. We've fished on his boat several times and haven't found anything negative to say at all. They're built by Yamaha I think. I had G3 on my short list when I was looking. What put me over the top for my choice (Ranger C188) was my trip to the Ranger factory in Flippin, AR. If you get a chance go by and take a tour. The folks are very nice. I figured I'd support businesses in AR. Good luck.
Took a ranger boat tour years ago at flippin - tour guides name (ill never forget this guy) was hugh dewey. He Talked into a microphone and had a speaker strapped to his belt! great American that Hugh Dewey!
I bought a new boat last year, I went with Excel but it was really close between it and the G3. One thing that these two brands have that many others dont (including Ranger) is .125 hull thickness. Most out there are only .100 thick. Just a tidbit of info . Happy hunting .
I have an older 1652 G3 with a 40hp yamaha that I got used. Been a great boat just wish it had a little more room. Console is handy but with a gun box and livewell it's pretty cramped. I have considered converting it to tiller. Since you're still shopping, try to imagine a fishing buddy, cooler, gear etc in there when you're looking at em.
My unkle has one for sale. But he like it. just got bigger boat. For Sale:
2007 G3 1750 Eagle Boat, Yamaha 75hp Motor, Minkota Trolling Motor,
598 SI Hummingbird on front of boat and Garmin Echo 73 SI on Panel.
$8500Attachment 293509

One other thing i forgot to mention . Im pretty sure the tandem trailers that comes with the bigger G3's does have brakes on one axle , my Excel came with a diamond city tandem trailer with NO brakes, wish i had brakes on at least one axle. just something to consider and talk about when your deciding .
I got a 2002 used, no problems, put a new motor on eventually, rated for 75 and 75 on it, no problems Attachment 293905

I picked up a used one a couple months ago. I think it’s an 07. No complaints so far but haven’t had it out much. I’m sure there are better boats but it gets the job done.
