TOPIC: 68 g3

just found this section !!!!
I found a 68 g3 for sale looks sweet!! abit far from home but worth the drive
my question is there a back seat ? not in this one just a waterfall console ?

Welcome to the G-3 world!! Nothing else like it in boating!!

Now, no, these boats did not have a back seat. Some owners added a back seat, facing to the rear.

NOW, SIR, THAT BOAT IS NOT A 1968.

It has a center-deck, thus making it a 1959, 1960 or a 1961. These were the only three years of G-3s with the center deck. (If it has a small footrest strip across the floor in the front, it is a 1961)!!


The open deck models were 1962 thru 1968, when Larson bought out Glasspar and changed the looks of these boats.

Thanks for the info,it is mis labeled in CL,thats why it is still for sale !!!!????
when people install the seats in rear is it still able to perform ?
I have 2 kids and my wife, will this boat work for me ?

A G-3 would be a tight squeeze for 4- Sure, they'd fit, But you'll probably want something bigger for 4 people... It is only a 13' boat!

There is something strange with the transom in the picture.
It looks like you may be buying a project boat. Be careful.

You can fit four in that style G-3. Three across the front seat
one in the back. NOT very comfortable. NOT for long rides.
NOT with big people. NOT with much gear or beer.

A G-3 is a small sporty boat not a good week-end cruiser with
more than three people.

Let him get the G3 nothing better to teach his kids to ski behind and then one of you sell him a nice clasice glass weekender boat.

By the way, the open deck and the larson built G3s are 4 seat boats with normal back to back seating
