Thats the dilemma when there are only a couple lakes that allow over 9.9hp (Hopatcong & Budd?) Unless you go out of state or to the briny, you'll never use the 60hp. Then you'll get bored with crabs and weakfish & start venturing out the inlet. Happened to me with my Sylvan. Ended up buying the V20!
Now I paddle a canoe in the fresh water. Guess what I'm trying to say is you have a lake boat in lakes that can't use 60hp. If you want to enjoy the mountains and the quiet 9.9hp lakes(it IS NICE to be on a lake with only 9.9) then don't fret over losing the 60 hp. Although I have seen a boat on Round Valley with three 9.9s!

I had a Bass Tracker TX-17 that I put a 15hp 2 stroke Merc on to be legal on the lake my parents live on, it got up on plane just fine...not a speedster, but got around ok.
A 20 hp 4 stroke will do pretty good I bet...with the right prop.

you could just donate the g3 to me and get a different boat!!
This is why I have always said to my wife I need to have 2 or 3 boats cause one never can do it all! I would look around for a 12 or 14 foot tin boat for the 8hp and have 2 boats and be able to go were you want. there was a guy here giving a 12' away for free but I missed it :( O well I still have not even got a fresh water rod! I still need a reel for my surf rod to fish the salt now I have no boat.

Theres always the other option. Find a couple of old 2 strokes to hang on it and shed 100 pounds from the transom. You could probably sell the 4 strokes and buy a set of old 2 strokes and still have money left.

Well since the G3 with that 60 is the best aluminum boat I have ever been on I am going to keep it I believe.
I am going to be looking for a decent used long shaft capable 14-16 footer and trailer to fish these lakes. Two boat owner again.
