Hi Folks,
I am having a hard time choosing if i should go with a G3 or Alumacraft 1236 Jon boat. I have dealers for both nearby. Prices on both are almost identical. I only want to haul the boat in my truck bed. I was almost leaning towards the Alumacraft because it has a higher weight limit and side depth, but G3 seems like they make a nice boat also. It would usually be my son and I in the boat (285lbs combined). My wife (100lbs) would tag along occasionally if the boat can support all are weight. G3 is rated for 2 people (470lbs max) & Alumacraft is rated for 3 people (540lbs max). We will mainly fish small ponds and will have a 6hp 4 stroke yamaha or a trolling motor on for the ponds that do not allow gas motors. Here are the specs i was looking at for both. Thank you for you opinions =)
Alumacraft G3
Beam Side Height 55"/19" Beam Side Height 56"/18"
Weigth 125lbs Weight 144lbs
Hp max 15hp Hp max 10hp

Transom Height 15" Transom Height 16"
