My buddy and I started in a Lowe roughneck tunnel with 60/40 merc. This boat cavitated quite bad in very marginal chop and during hard turns to the right.... tried many things to correct the cavitation issue but never fully resolved it.
I bought the 2012 G3 1860 ccj 90/65 last year and it's a dream. The counsel is now forward, the TM batteries are in the front so the back heavy bouncing effect on the older modles has been corrected and I have had zero cavitation issues. I can make quite long runs in just over ankle deep water with this boat and it drafts around 7 inches on the float. 32MPH is the highest speed I've gotten out of this boat.
