(10/31/2002)… Louisiana is known for Cajun food, beautiful swamplands and unmatched outdoor opportunities. Now a new designation, the Jon Boat Capital of the World, is in order. Southern Outdoors and Marine, the G3 Boat dealership in Thibodaux sells more jon boats than any other G3 dealer and possibly more than any other jon boat dealership.
“We’re so lucky to live here,” said dealership partner Jaunita Thibodaux. “In just 15 minutes we can be at one of our beautiful swamps catching largemouth bass or shooting greenhead mallards out of a G3 jon boat. About one-hour away is the Gulf of Mexico where the redfish tail in the shallows. These shallow water applications are perfect for our G3 Boats.
“We know we have the number one outboard with Yamaha,” continued Thibodaux. “But no one can match the versatility and toughness of G3 jon boats. We chose to carry G3 aluminum boats because of their association with Yamaha, the fantastic pricing and the sharp look of the boat. Now you can’t go anywhere around our part of Louisiana without seeing a G3 boat.”
Thibodaux and partner Kevin Chenier have regarded customer service as their highest priority in over 25 years of combined boat sales experience. Both customers and staff are considered family and repeat business and word of mouth endorsements lead to most of their sales. Customers have open access to the service staff to ease any concerns about service after the sale.
So whether it’s the G3 exclusive Mossy Oak Shadow Grass finish on our duck boats or the .100 gauge “Gator Tough” hull on our boats for the backcountry swamps, the customers of Southern Outdoor and Marine rely on G3 Boats to make each outing a taste of Louisiana’s outdoor paradise.
