I have seen a lot of G3 boats for sale on various sites. They seem to be popular and also seem to command a good selling price. Yammy engines also are considered good. Other than that, I can't help.

Looks to be in good shape and the price seems reasonable.

Not sure what years of production it applied to but at one point G3 had a big problem with pressure treated wood and transoms rotting out. Very hard to repair. A quick internet search should define the years that were affected.

By reputation they are a nice boat.

Thanks for the article 64osby. Definitely going to stay away. I thought the G3 had really good reputation but I guess not. Maybe just the newer models?

They do have a good rep. They also had a transom issue that they did resolve. You just have to find one that was made after they resolved it. Just not sure what year that was.

ok thanks. I have done some research and have found more bad things about the transoms in older models but have not been able to find when the problem was resolved. Ill keep looking!
