I think every manufacturer mentioned makes good boats. I did a lot of looking into them last year and wound up buying a used G3, but I bought it just because I happened to find one set up like I wanted at a reasonable price. It has a lot of wood in it, and that adds weight, but from a practical standpoint it hasn't been a big deal. It has vinyl instead of carpet and I much prefer that. Also, all the floors and decks are in panels that are held down with screws that are easily removed if I ever did have a problem or want to change something I added a power pedestal to it and the wood deck made that an easy job. I'm pretty sure the wood deck will last longer than I will.

I have thought of selling it and buying a new one. If I do, I will get either an Xtreme or a Potterbuilt. They are custom made and don't really cost any more than a mass production boat.
