| I've been fishing the New River in Va with my G3 1860 jet for 8 years now. The G3 gator tough boats are great for the money, but certainly not bulletproof in shallow water. A couple of the mods I've done to my boat which really have helped out are:
1. Got rid of the dang drivers seat...it got in the way constantly and seriously, who drives a jet through shallow water sitting down? Once I removed the seat I covered the live well lid with Hydroturf so it could function as a bench seat that was functional and also as a mid-boat casting deck if needed.
2. Covered all casting deck surfaces with Hydroturf ...the stuff is awesome. It takes a beating, cleans up easily, doesn't get hot while fishing in the summer, and doesn't freeze up during winter fishing.
3. Applied Tuff-coat in the belly of the boat, vertical surfaces, and gunwhales. I love the look and anti-skid properties of the product, but it was extremely labor intensive to prep the aluminum so that it would adhere correctly.
4. Re-wired the entire trailer made by Bear. There were way too many crappy splices in the wiring that were causing problems.
