Re: Aluminum boat wanted
The boats I am referring to are bigger quality higher end aluminum boats. One is an Xpress and the other is a Duracraft. Both are over 15k I would guess. I saw them for sale on Facebook.

Re: Aluminum boat wanted
I know what the prices should be. I wanna stay around 5-6,000. Im going to look at a g3 today and maybe its in as good of shape as it looks.
Re: Aluminum boat wanted
Check the G3 for pitting on the transom and cracks along the welds "especially where it goes from flat to bow" ![:beer:](./images/smilies/embeer.gif)

Re: Aluminum boat wanted
dad has a "lady friend" who has a 17 foot G3 2010 with a 60 four stoke i believe she won in a divorce shes asking 10k. i would've bought it but ended up getting a tunnel hull for the shoals. veryyyyyyyy nice boat.
Re: Aluminum boat wanted
I have a G3 that is great to fish out of but that is all. One of the worst built aluminum boats on the market as far as I am concerned. Cracks all over the boat from front to back, top to bottom. If you don't believe me just ask Waviel Porter of porter marine in Woodville. He has made a living welding G3 boats.
Re: Aluminum boat wanted
I got a 2004 g3 175 60 yamaha 4 stroke today. I looked all over and didn't see any cracks. I took it out and brought it back in and pulled the plug and it didn't have any water in it.

Re: Aluminum boat wanted
Drucker, it's a good boat just try to avoid beating her to death in chop or you will have welds crack. I have owned a number of 1756 G3's in the past and have caught many fish out of them. Congrats on your purchase! ![:thumbup:](./images/smilies/emthup.gif)
