New guy here with first post. Been lurking for a while, and look forward to being a part of the forum.
My youngest son will be in high school next year. The high school has a bass fishing club and is very active on the Florida tournament scene. My son really wants to be a part of that, so I have been looking at a bass boat to purchase that would fit my budget. Pretty quickly I had it narrowed down to aluminum boats.
After a little research I had my finalists of Triton, Ranger, and G3. After sitting behind the helm of all 3, the obvious choice for me was the G3. I'm tall, and pretty much had to sit cross legged to squeeze behind the helm of the Ranger and Triton. The leg room behind the G3 helm was great. And, helping with the G3 decision is the fact that the boat dealer I have a long relationship with (my saltwater boat) is a G3 dealer.
Will be officially doing the paperwork for the Sportsman 19, vinyl interior, blue/silver with Yamaha 115 next week. Dealer has been helping me with some of the decisions routinely debated here ( Electronics package, Power Pole vs Talon, trolling motor upgrade, etc) Should have the boat late April, which will give us plenty of time to begin to learn the electronics capabilities, and to start to fish the lakes that routinely host the FL High School BASS tourneys.
Hope to have pics to post in next few weeks. Look forward to being part of the forum community!

I'm glad to see someone in the tin section getting another blue boat. Blue/Silver will look sharp!
