I've drove all the way from Memphis to go to C and O to buy two boats. If you live in middle tn and are not dealing with them then you have no idea what you are missing. They are the Lake Hill Motors equivalent for boats. IOW they are a high volume dealer. Largest stratos and war eagle dealer in the country. Call and talk to Todd Morgan. He will get you any setup you want. I've had my war eagle about six months now and I'm very pleased with it.

i looked at EVERY aluminum boat on the market while shopping for 2 years. i tell ya, polarkraft is THE BEST built aluminum boat for about 2/3 the cost of war eagle or G3.

Thanks to all for responding. I think I've narrowed it down to G3 or War Eagle. Polar Kraft might also be an option. Right now driving Chrysler Pacifica with 6 cylinder so weight is important. Another important factor is that 80% of my fishing will be me alone so I want something I can handle getting in & out of the garage and at the boat ramp. G3 Eagle 175 with a Yammie 70 or 90hp is currently top choice but I am going to research this for another 2 or 3 weeks and try & make a decision.
Also need to consider 2 or 4 stroke but leaning towards the 2 stroke to save wieght.
Thanks again everyone.

Does anyone have experience with the G3 vinyl? This is the only boat I have seen with this option. One dealer told me that the only disadvantage is that if you like to fish barefoot it can get hot. But he said its very easy to clean.
And again, thanks for all of your input.
