@@pauln8997 LOL. Seriously though, the G3 Sportsman 1710 is a pretty dang good value for the money and doesn't cost a ton to keep running. If anyone is in the market, they are doing double rebates on the 2019s we have left! Can't wait to see the fish BLat catches out of that thing!
@@pauln8997 that's awesome! Thank you so much. If you're in the area, we just opened up a new tackle store this year and are still trying to get the word out. We're trying to get it all online as well. Love to have you stop by if you can!
Setup is just like my Ranger 178RT, cooler and everything. You should love this boat, looks nice. Now get out on the water, I’m ready for some tin boat mania!
B Lat is “Big Time” now! He has a separate camera boat! HaHa love it man! Good for you brother. You can’t have enough toys man! Helps us too, we get more great videos!
Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so so so funny when he came to the motor. He was so excited the entire time then he looked up and a disappointment came to his face. He started to say he would probably change it but then said in a sad way "well I got a Yamaha motor " lmao! It was so funny to see the reaction to it. Lol!
Bill Dance seat...comes with a yeti...storm shelter...cell phone graft, hilarious 😂 B. Lat, you’re gona love that SHO!!! You’ll be hooked (see what I did there 🤣). Best of luck with it bro 👊🏽
B Lat... I've still got my 2005 G3 HP180 I bought in 2008. It's 18ft long, has a Yamaha 150, 21 pitch s.s. prop, hot-foot, blinker-trim, & I just had a 6in TH Marine jack-plate mounted about a week ago. Top speed now is close to 60mph!!! The stability of this boat is AMAZING & this boat handles so AWESOME in curves & coming out of curves!!! My next project is to add hydraulic steering...BUT MONEY DON'T GROW ON TREES!!! I love this boat & so does my 15 yr old daughter...she's discovered that she loves fishing for anything with her old man!!! I would buy another G3 with absolutely no hesitation at all...THE ABSOLUTE BEST BOAT I'VE EVER OWNED!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.
I bought the exact same boat in February, upgraded to the ultrex trolling motor and added 1 power pole. I live in east Texas home of some monster bass fisheries and this boat performs perfectly on them.
I passed you and the new boat sitting at Crawfords sunday. I whipped my head around cause Ive been looking at this particular model and i was like ol' B-Lat got him one.
Sweet boat, I am still doing my total rebuild (way behind schedule, but you can’t work on it when the fish are biting) but when I am done... I am still gonna wish I bought a new one!! 🤓😂
Dude! Thank you for doing this video! I've been searching and searching for an aluminum boat. Looked at Bass Tracker to Xpress to Vexus and so on. Now I have another to check out. The G3 looks like a contender.
You really can't go wrong with any of those brands you mentioned! We've been very happy with G3 through the years though and would love a chance to help you out if you're not too far away. We will always encourage you to work with a good dealer that can provide you the support you need after you buy.
So you now switching to Yamaha on you falcon as well? I also think you should unload tackle and rods from your falcon to this boat and really show much gear can fit
Mr. Latimer I have the 2018 model of the same boat, please keep this play list updated with your advice and changes/modifications. Also maybe some do you know anything about the hubs on the trailer and how to grease them, get told something different by everyone i ask. Also what prop did you like pitch ? willing to wait for those three months your using it !! Will be pulling for you.
Nice! I have a 2000 bass tracker 175 with a 40hp mercury. I have thought about upgrading (but still keeping my tracker) to an older fiberglass. I think after looking at the new aluminum boats I might get an xpress x18 if I can afford it or something along the lines of a Ranger RT188/ Triton Tx18. The market sure has a lot of nice aluminum boats now, especially compared to my tracker
i like the smaller alumacraft boats also.. might look into that.. but in europe u dont get a full boat+ trailer+ motor and everything for 25k... more like 35-40k over here for the same stuff.. even if i get a boat thats build in my own country... a yamaha 90 is like 12k over here alone.. Over here u see nobody with a heavy firbreglass boat.. for starts u need a heavy car to pull it and taxes on heavy cars are too extreme.. u dont want to be paying 500 bucks tax every month just for the car.. when a smaller car is like 50-200 bucks
G3's are good boats. What did you do with your 80s fisher marine? - good to show kids they dont always need 250+HP 21' boats to catch bass. Had a high school parent ask me if they needed 250HP for an upcoming tournament....need more videos like this to send better messages to the youngins
Sometimes I miss my G3, but then I remember it can't go where my Solo Skiff can go. I do plan on a tin boat for cold weather fishing. Thanks for the inspiration.
Tin boats rock B. Lat. I love mine (Tracker PT190/115 Optimax). There are a lot of good choices out there now.They don't perform like your father's jon boat anymore either. In Minnesota we have tons of lakes, most 500 to 2000 acres or so. Honestly, why would you need more boat than that unless you compete at the highest level of tourneys or need to run really big water?
Congratulations. My 2021- 1710 is to be here in November. I'm looking forward to getting it and fish out of it. Can you tell me what steps I can get to help get in and out of the boat as well as a tight cover for it
@@capenelson1560 I'm not too familiar with seadek. I have the vinyl like this on my 2018 pro guide v175... I went with carpet on the rear casting deck and carpet on the front casting deck. Main are of boat has all the vinyl. So glad the entire boat didn't have it. I live in AZ and it gets 115 out here. Had the boat on the last last weekend and hit the floor with a temp gun and was reading 132 deg. You cannot walk barefoot on it. May be ok for your area since I'm not sure how hot it gets where you are at. I wouldnt recommend the vinyl , don't get me wrong though gh it's so easy to keep clean...
My man has his new grey carpet matching the grey shirt matching the prestigious grey beard! Enjoy that VMax! Cant wait to see the first session on her!
Let's test out a Phoenix or a Cayman. Come and find me at Anglers Port Marine. I understand the sponsorship and rebates. But let's go fishing B Lat. Just 2 guys and their fams. Be my guest in the Ozarks and Truman lake. Got to give me a week to entertain you. When I am done, you will want a Verado Tritoon instead of a bass boat, LOL! Love your vids! Let's hang.
Awesome to click on a video of one of your favorite pro fishermen on RU-vid only to find out he's buying a boat less than 15 miles from your house.lol keep grinding B Lat!!
@@BrianLatimerFishing whoa... that reply caught me way off guard.lol thank you for that hopefully I'll get a chance to catch you in town and get a picture and a handshake. Thanks for being such a quality guy bro.
2 things B. 1. In about 20 years all that yard mowing and standing up bass fishing your knees gonna be beggin for them "Bill Dance" seats. 2. I CANNOT BELIEVE you didn't insist on a Mercury. 10 years ago no pro would even think of a tin boat. Now particularly the skinny water boys all have a tin boat. I guarantee-that boat you can pass down to your boy. Needless to say-unless I'm going out to the oil rigs I'm in a tin boat.
its a yamaha boat... why put a merc on it... its all the same anyways.. yamaha not the best power but very reliable.. u could be running that motor for the next 20 years... Hell ive got a 40 year old 2 stroke outboard.. still runns.. And to put a 90 on a 17 foot aluminum boat is overkill anyways... it would plane fine with a 60...
Man I have been looking for my 1st new boat ever. I would love to see the G3 sportsman in grass cammo. I know it can come like that but no one has one.
G`day Brian Names Wayne Live In Australia Just watched your Build of 205 Falcon i know it was back in 2018 But mate 1 Q`s where did they put the Fuel tank and what size was it Cheers from Aus
What’s up B-Lat! What’s the fix for trd’s when half the baits in the bag are kinked ? Almost like when gulp had the issue with deformed tails and bodies.
We've got some old new motors. We have at least 1 2018 9.9 Yamaha in the box in stock and we ship them all over the US. Good prices and factory warranty. If you're interested, call and talk to Larry, our motor guy. 256-442-2588.
@@BucksIsland yea i really wish i had a decent boat dealer around me. Im from the wheeling WV area and we have nothing :(. i need tons of stuff done new 90hp + kicker set up, electronics + trolling motor etc. things im not willing to do my self....
@@Dbars19 that stinks. We do have some folks that make a fishing trip out of coming to us. Get the boat taken care of and hit crappie on Weiss or fish Guntersville, Neely Henry, Logan Martin, Smith or others. We have a few good spots around here! Let us know if we can help you.
Bucks Island what do they run compared to Tracker TWX 175? I fish out of a Key Largo 176 w/ a 70 Yami and poling platform now lol, but have moved out of Florida and taken up bass fishing. I love my boat, but have been seriously looking at tin boats for space and gear. God Bless
Dude I bought the same exact boat this year in burgundy I love it man I would recommend running a 19 pitch prop mine came with a 16 and wouldn’t get over 36 mph
If you ever do buy a G3 boat...I DON'T THINK YOU WILL REGRET IT!!! My G3 is a 2005 G3 HP180 I bought in 2008. It's 18ft long, big front deck, big live-well, Yamaha 150, 21 pitch s.s. prop, hot-foot, blinker-trim & I just added a 6in TH Marine jack-plate...top speed now is close to 60mph now. The stability of this boat is AMAZING...running down the river or sitting still...it still amazes me. Last summer I landed an 8lb bass & i had to run from the front deck to the back deck & i noticed how this boat barely rocked with all this movement. Buy one...i don't think you'll regret it. I'd buy another G3 with no HESITATION AT ALL!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.
That’s 10000000000% what I would get if I ever got the opportunity to get a bass boat it would probably be an aluminum craft or some kind of aluminum boat because of the price But hell yea man heck of a nice new boat
