Any Thought On A G3

[aarchdale@coresleep.com]

Im thinking about pulling the trigger on one real soon, been looking at the 1966 CCT DLX. They are kinda hard to come by around here. I did see one in person that was a side console and i just couldnt believe how big and roomy they are.

You must have a specific purpose and certain waters in mind to look at a tunnel hull. On a regular windy lake you would be beat to death.

I have been told G3 boats hold up, and the motors enjoy a good reputation. I had a two stroke Yammie for 4 years and it was an excellent power plant.

Had a G3 - Can't remember the exact model, but it was a 17 ft aluminum, Panfisher, (don't know if they make those anymore). Structure overall was good, 2 stroke, 60 HP Yammie never gave me problems. Negatives were that the fittings around the console were flimsy and easy to break, only had a 6.5 gallon fuel tank with no room to install a larger one.

I loved my G3. I had the HP180. I loved the Yammy 130 HP motor I had. I hated the Bear trailer. Frame cracked on me and then rusted so badly that I had to have sections rewelded. IF they still use Bear trailers, I would not consider buying another G3.
