I've been fishing many years but have never owned a boat of my own. <br />I know about the "two happiest days" in a boat owner's life, and I'm closing in on the first one.<br />I've looked for a while at used boats but my initial thought of 3-4 grand turned <br />up little. After some soul searching (and a little extra money from a side job) <br />I'm leaning towards a brand-spanking-new one. I'm not interested in skiing, <br />but my youngin's might want to take it out, therefore I want realibility and the<br />ability to pull a skier if the mood strikes them. I really liked the bass tracker with the live baitwells, but while out looking around I discovered the G3 boats. <br />Apparently, Yamaha owns G3 so they come equiped with the Yamaha power <br />plants. I'm leaning toward the 60hp 4-stroke. I dug through past postings <br />and haven't seen any discussion on these boats. <br /><br />Anybody have any comments? Suggestions? <br /><br />They price out just under the tracker similarly equipped. <br /><br />Also, what about Aluminum vs fiberglass? I only plan on taking out on fresh water lakes in calm <br />weather.
<br /><br />Trouble is finding a 4-strk power plant... (60 day wait)
