If you’re shopping for G3 boats for sale in Texas, you already know what you’re after: an all-welded aluminum boat tough enough for our lakes and bays, rigged with a dependable Yamaha outboard, and priced to get you on the water without a second mortgage. At Big D Marine & Powersports, G3 has been one of our most popular lines for exactly that reason. Whether you’re chasing bass on Lake Conroe, running the flats in Galveston Bay, or just looking for a no-nonsense jon boat for the back lakes, there’s a G3 built for the way you fish.
With three Texas locations across Huntsville and the Gulf Coast, we make it easy for buyers from Houston to Galveston and everywhere in between to find, finance, and service the right G3. Here’s everything you need to know before you buy.
Why G3 Boats?
G3 has spent more than 25 years earning a reputation as one of the most rugged, no-compromise aluminum boat brands on the water. A few things set them apart:
All-welded aluminum construction. No rivets to loosen, no seams to leak. G3 hulls are all-aluminum and all-welded, which is exactly what you want for a boat that’s going to see hard use in Texas heat, salt spray, and stump-filled lakes year after year.
Yamaha power, standard. G3 is a Yamaha company, and every model comes rigged with a Yamaha outboard. That means the boat and motor are engineered to work together, backed by one of the most trusted names in marine power.
Backed by a real warranty. G3 stands behind its boats with a five-year bow-to-stern limited warranty, plus a limited lifetime warranty on external seams. That’s the kind of coverage that tells you a builder trusts its own welds.
Built for the way Texans actually fish. From shallow-draft jon boats to saltwater-ready bay boats, the G3 lineup is purpose-built for freshwater, coastal, and multi-species fishing—not watered-down do-everything hulls.
The G3 Lineup at Big D Marine
One of the best things about G3 is the range. Whatever water you run, there’s a model that fits. Here’s a quick look at the categories we carry:
- G3 Bay Series (Bay 17, Bay 19 GX, Bay 20, Bay 22 GX): Classic-styled, all-aluminum bay boats built for coastal and multi-species fishing. The Bay series is the go-to for anglers working Galveston Bay, Trinity Bay, and the Gulf—tough, dry, and loaded with rod storage, livewells, and fishable layouts.
- G3 Sportsman Series (Sportsman 1710, 1810, and PFX models): All-welded aluminum fishing machines with versatile modified-V layouts. A favorite for big East Texas reservoirs where you want a stable, deep-water-capable boat that still gets shallow.
- G3 Gator Tough (17 CC, 18 CC, and more): Built to endure, these rugged utility and center-console models handle everything from duck hunting to big-fish, big-family days on the lake.
- G3 Jon Boats: Simple, durable, and affordable—the perfect rig for farm ponds, the back lakes of Sam Houston National Forest, and anyone who wants a dependable aluminum boat without the frills.
- SunCatcher Pontoons (Elite, Fusion, Select): G3’s pontoon line, for families who’d rather relax on the water than chase a limit. Ideal for cruising Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston.

Matching Your G3 to Your Texas Water
The right G3 depends a lot on where you run it—and our part of Texas offers just about everything.
East Texas lakes (Lake Conroe, Lake Livingston). If your home water is a big reservoir, a G3 Sportsman or a SunCatcher pontoon is hard to beat. The Sportsman gives serious anglers a stable, all-welded platform for bass, crappie, and catfish, while the pontoon lineup is built for relaxed family days. Buyers from Conroe, The Woodlands, Willis, Montgomery, Magnolia, Huntsville, New Waverly, Madisonville, Trinity, Onalaska, Livingston, Coldspring, and Cleveland are right in the heart of this country.
Galveston Bay and the Gulf Coast. Running saltwater changes the equation. The G3 Bay series is all-aluminum, all-welded, and built specifically to take the chop and corrosion of coastal fishing. From our Hitchcock store, we serve anglers across Galveston, Texas City, La Marque, Santa Fe, Dickinson, League City, Friendswood, Pearland, Kemah, Seabrook, Clear Lake, Webster, Alvin, San Leon, and Bacliff who fish Galveston Bay, West Bay, Trinity Bay, and the Gulf.
Ponds, rivers, and the back lakes. Sometimes you just need something light, tough, and ready to launch anywhere. That’s where a G3 jon boat or Gator Tough shines—perfect for Greater Houston buyers in Spring, Tomball, Humble, Atascocita, Pasadena, Baytown, and Crosby who want an affordable aluminum boat that does real work.
No matter which way you lean, our team will help you match the hull, horsepower, and rigging to the water you actually run—not just sell you the boat with the biggest sticker.
