I looked at these boats a while back...have a dealer in Northern MN that carried them. To me at the time, they seemed to have a bunch of models similar to alumacraft, with about the same fit and finish....Mind you this was about 8, 9 years ago...
Seemed like a solid boat back then, and seeing they are still around, I'd guess still going strong. Stronger following in the southern states maybe? I don't see many around up this way..

| There are a lot in Ohio. I've never owned one but I've not heard a bad word about them either. I looked at them but went with Lund only because of the trade in difference my Lund dealer offered was substantially more than the G3 dealer. |

| Four years ago I purchased a G31656 ccj from Marks marine in Warren Ohio. It’s a great boat, I have no complaints. |
