Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

I am about to make a move on a 2006 G3 with a 115 Yamaha. The Boat was a factory tested boat that never left the facility. It has never been titled. The motor is a one owner yamaha with very low use. The boat is very clean. I have looked at everything and really like the G3. I have heard very good things, we also looked at Sylvans and just were not that impressed by what they offered us. They wanted to sell us a 50HP on a 24 foot boat. We are very excited about this. We think we are getting a good deal, the boat has been inside since it was built in fact.

Good choice. A 50 HP on a 24 footer when loaded would barely get you over 10 mph. The 115 HP should do over 20. When I had a 50 on my 22 footer I could barely do over 12 MPH with eight adults. Now on the 115 HP I can go 22 MPH with the same load.

Welcome to the site and great choice on the larger motor! lets see the pictures when you get her!

You know its all about practicality for me with this boat. I have a 4 year old and 9 year old and a wife who likes to lounge and drink cocktails in the sun, we live near a huge lake but dont plan to go far on it. I just want something that will get me around in a decent time and not kill my wallet. I would rather buy cool stuff for the boat than pay a huge amount for it. This motor also is under warranty till the end of 2012.
