[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 504170, member: 3438"] I can’t add much on the boat models. I would consider the dealers rep for handling problems, and after sale support. Make sure you look at the trailers in your comparison. G3 uses Bear trailers which have a so-so rep. Seen pictures of broken welds and other failures. No issues with my son’s 2022 yet. IMO, there is more frame flex than I like. I don’t know what trailer Allumacraft uses, so should research that. The Turboswing is tube rated. The ski pole is most likely not. Tubes, at low speed can nose dive and create extreme load. Much more than a skier. The TS is expensive, but currently at the top of my list for my pontoon boat. [/QUOTE]
