Location: Mayville, WI | From extenisve work hours in a 1960 g3, all the weight is in the back and it will be very light in the bow and sucks in wind (2007 model here). Its a deeper boat and higher gunnel compared to a roughneck, but a 60hp prop pushes our boat great. The layout is ok.
After even more extensive work hours in an 1860 lowe roughneck, i'd chose that any day over the g3. Still a bit bow light, but lower sides and gunnel make it a really nice boat to fish from (after work, of course). The layout is better too and it powers well with a 60hp propped 4-stroke.
Durability is a wash between the two and both can run is some pretty skinny water, slight edge to lowe due to shorter time to plane
