        Yea, but first don't you think you should attach it to the boat and hook up the linkages and gas first. That thing will suck up so much gas, you won't be going fast for to long.

          Excellent! Another worthy Addition to the 115 Class

          That's going to be scarry fast Chuck. I predict you're going to love it!

          That G3 is a foot shorter than my PowerCat. I'm running a 115 Black Stack on mine, it it does 50+. What prop are you running?

          When are you planning to take her out for her first run?

            Doug, i was just having some fun seeing what it would look like on the G-3 ,so i roll it out along with the G-3 to clean up my side of the garage today. I thought it would be cool to get a picture with it behind the transom. I do have a 65hp SS Merc on it's way to me however. I hope to have the G-3 ready in about a month. Best,Chuck

                      Chuck,

                      Before you take that out on the lake make sure your will is up to date.

                        Bill, i just thought i would have a little fun pulling a few people's chain. On the Farallon the transom was beef up to 2 5/8 so i know what you mean about that.Best,Chuck

                          Jack, There is no way i would put that motor on the G-3. Even the 65hp Merc will be as fast as i want to go. What's a will ? Chuck
