I have a 2006 G3 1860 SC with a 90 h.p. Yamaha. Awsome dual purpose boat. Duck hunt in the morning muskie fish in the afternoon. Gets into skinney water yet handle the big stuff. I primarily hunt Green Bay and fish out there too. Had it on everything from small rivers to Vermilion and Lake Michigan never had any serious issues. Duck hunting has taken a back seat to fishing the last couple of years so Im going to sell it and buy something else. It did a great job for me.

I had an aluminum bassboat for awhile. It was basically a john boat with casting decks and a side console. After I built the deck extension it had a lot of room in it. I could store every piece of tackle I owned in it. It also go into very shallow water.

i purchased a g3 1860 with a 90/65 jet center console two years ago an love it to death!. i looked at both g3 and tracker both was pretty similar,but i am a big fan of yamaha motors. I got the g3 for 5000 less and didnt have to wait for the boat to be put together.i fish alot of wv rivers and get around fine. my friend has a lowe roughneck w an evinrude e-tech 16ft. its not too bad either. i just like having the room in the boat with an 18 ft. if you have any questions shoot me a pm. joel
