G3 Boats

[eaglecliff]

Anybody running the g3 DK series ? What do you think about it ?Looking at getting a used one.

Yes. I have the 18DK. To new to give performance details as I am still in the break in period. But I am pleased so far with hole shot and power. Turning and handling leaves a little to be desired as of now.

I used to have a 1652dk. It served it's purpose. When I bought it, it had some hook in the hull and bounced but I liked the layout on the hull. The latches on them were crap back when mine was made in 2007. But overall it was a solid boat. Mine had the aluminum floor. It looks like the new ones have some type of vinyl though... not sure about that.

Get the right 4 blade prop and that problem should go away. You'll give up a mph or two, but it'll handle tons better in the turns, it won't struggle carrying a heavy load and have better holeshot. Had the same issue with my Xpress running a 3 blade. Made the switch and I'll never go back. A Power Tech SCD4 made a WORLD of difference. Like a completely different boat.

Did it slide a lot? Saw that the new ones have a bigger "ice breaker", curious how much that helps on the turns.
