New, Stronger Horsepower Ratings Set
G3’s Deep-V hull fishing boats already had a
reputation of one of the most fishable boats on the water. And the
durability built in to the welded .80 and .100-gauge hulls with double
plated bows and riveted ribs classified the series as one of the toughest.
After all, these boats were designed for the rigors of the north country.
Three models have stronger horsepower ratings for 2002, power to handle any
fishing environment.
The 16-foot, 10-inch Model V170C single-console Deep-V now has a
90-horsepower rating, up from the 80-horsepower limit last year. Model V170
replaces the V165. Model V180WT is a walk-through windshield model that
measures 17 feet and 9 inches in length and rated for 150 Yamaha
horsepower. The boat was formerly known as the V175WT and had a 130
horsepower rating. The longest Deep-V model, the V180C features a deluxe
console and a 175 horsepower rating. The V180C replaces the V175C, which
had a 150-horsepower rating.
Deep-V fishing boats from G3 get their tough reputation from the
GX2 V-hull design. A reinforced second layer of aluminum on the bow, and
the hull for the V180 boats, makes these crafts the strongest on the
market. Both layers are from the same gauge aluminum. In addition, the hull
features a full-length, one-piece, extruded keel and concave spray rails
for enhanced performance and a dry ride.
Built to endure the roughest of lake conditions, the Deep-V boats
are also designed for comfort, convenience and fishing. Standard features
include carpeted heavy-duty marine plywood floors and decks, oversized
aerated livewells, fold-down fishing seats with driver seat slider, 8-foot
lockable rod locker(s), lockable storage, aft casting deck (except in
tiller models) and trolling motor wiring. Non-tiller models include a
deluxe console with a tinted windshield and the larger V180C has tilt
steering and dual no-feed back steering.
Large built-in fuel tanks (6-gallon portable tank on V160 models)
permit a long ride between fuel stops. Also included are self-priming or
automatic bilge pumps, fire extinguisher and running lights. G3 Deep-V
boats are finished in durable two-component Urethane paint. Both V180
models have an AM-FM cassette player with weather band. A G3 Custom powder
coated trailer is included with each boat and much more.
Like all G3 boats, Deep-V models are powered by Yamaha outboard
engines. Buyers of a G3 boat, motor and trailer also receive the G3
advantage package that includes free resident fishing licenses for the
buyer for three years.
