What has happened to the G3's in the Northwest. Summer is just a few weeks away and we have no boats in the water. On another subject, the new electric outboards in the 50 HP would be a good fit for a G3. Kingston

I'm hoping to see some G3 action up in Lake George, NY this summer! Re: electric outboards, check out my company Flux Marine. I'll be setting my G3 up with a 40 to get started, and then jump to the 70.

Hmmm... Maybe it's just me, but those electric motors are UGLY!!!! Can they make one that looks like a 1960 Evinrude Starflight?

Westport, I have not put my G3 in the water this year. It is ready to go, just put the tank in and drop it in the water, I have spent all my time on a Donzi sweet 16 baby. That means a 1971-2 with an outboard. The outboard, Yamaha 150 TRP, the TRP is twin props moves it at 55. Fun boat. There is a very well funded electric outboard manufacturer on Lake Union that is producing 50hp and up motors that look interesting. The new battery technology is also looking good, but I can run my G3 all day on very little gas. I have a 50 Hp Tohatsu 2 cycle low pressure direct inject motor . That is the most weight I would put on a G3 used in Puget Sound for long trips. When you get a 20 mph wind you have to slow down and getting pooped is a very big problem. Kingston

Ben, Don’t listen to these guys… I think what you’re doing is great! Besides, anyone that thinks a squatty OMC V6 is good looking…. Shouldn’t be talking about style! Dean Attachment Deleted

The center deck older G3 has some good room for batteries. The Marine Trade is really looking a fast electric powered boats.I hate to take off the Tahatsu as it really is a great direct inject 2 cycle, but electric would be fun. Kingston.
