I loveeee this one - top notch Luke!

[@FishOnLuke]

Thanks again Tera! You are the best☺️

[@Nyquist_Outdoors]

Great review Luke! Most in-depth honest review on KZbin for a 20 ccj.

[@jonpearson2175]

Brandon, you need to do one on yours now!

[@daveholte7658]

Yep me as a G3 18’ Jet. 1st thing I bought at Tractor Supply a wheel knob for $6.99 A must ! G3 should market it for their weak steering This is the best and no bs video! Well done Much much better than the manufacturer or dealers. This is great. I 100% agree with the advantages and Disadvantages…Thanks to you and Tara for the best ever. Subscribed now

Nothings better than jammin’ your pole through the brush grippers.

I had an 18ft 2016 crestliner 50hp jet but I can't get around very well because of 50 years of coast to coast trucking and the crestliner was a fine boat but worse than getting out of my Corvette as I to was an athlete at 6'5" 350 I had to get a center console with seats I can get out of. I have a 115/80 jet on my 2018 g3 tunnel and I've been in what looked like 5" of water. I love it but haven't used it much because of my health and the first thing I did was put a steering knob on it and the crestliner because the crtliner embarrassed me the way it steered you could not guide that boat at all anything below 6 or 7 mph. The G3 is much better. Good video ha[py motoring brother.

[@daveholte7658]

You mentioned about paint and slippery floor. I went to Menards and bought and installed those industrial rubber mats with drain holes. I put at drivers console and complete bow area. What a lifesaver on knees and so nice to stand on. I believe it quieted down the waves up on plane as well

[@markkoranjr6426]

Loved that boat the first time I saw the size of the dance floor!

[@Croixboysguidedadventures]

Thanks for the info Luke! I’m looking at purchasing one for my guiding business on the Croix. You can really take these boats anywhere!

[@James.Richter]

That shallow water capability is very impressive 👏 👌 we fish our river spot on atvs its so shallow. We call it bottom out boating on the landboats.

[@robertchase199]

I know this is a few months old but the robocup holders rock. Ive had them on my boat with the tool tray and large cup add on. The large cup holds a nalgene 32 ounce and then I can dump my pockets into everything else.

[@joebuck66]

I agree with you Luke. That’s a sweet boat.

[@azrael5345]

Great video!

[@jonpearson2175]

Amazing, thanks Luke!!

[@johnnymissfire8464]

That's a sweet boat Luke! Are you able to get the bow up high if needed to avoid taking a wave over the bow? Or is that a trade off with that jet plate acting like trim tabs to keep it level?

[@ErikRaygor-fo5gr]

Do you see a need for floatation pods on your G3 20ccj? I plan to run skinny water up river and float back down. Trying for maximum buoyancy without dragging bottom. Any thoughts on PODS?

[@FishOnLuke]

If you want to float and not be under power it would surely help keep your back end up a little, on plain, and under power it wouldn't make a difference imo, may even cause porpoise issues, be curious to see someone do pods on a 20ccj though

[@michelewerder4855]

Awesome video!

[@ikerapt6702]

how long does a tank of gas last? i always been a kayak fisherman wanna get a boat this seems like something i like or a 18 footer

[@FishOnLuke]

I get about 4 miles per gallon of gas, 27 gallons, little over 100 miles per tank. The smaller jets are much more efficient.

[@artotfc890]

Awesome Job

[@KurtSchultz-rw3jj]

How fast does it get on plan with 3 people? What is speed with two or three people?

[@FishOnLuke]

Very fast and 36 Mph

[@catman_srt1711]

Great video! May I ask what brand and where did you purchase your headlights?

[@FishOnLuke]

Ebay and no brand I can remember, they are difficult to find now I've tried for others

[@catman_srt1711]

@FishOnLuke, okay, thank you anyways!

[@edsdegeneratemycology4809]

Luke what size whale tail is that? Large?

[@marksmith1354]

How did you mount the bar rack? Screws or bolts and nuts?

[@FishOnLuke]

Just deck screws. I'm going to remove use different locking ones this year as those ones come loose. I couldn't get below it use nuts, I tried, cut out giant holes even...oops

[@jackyhallmark3094]

I have had an 18/60 g3 ccj tunnel hull with 90/65 Yamaha since 2005. I had two seat pedestals mounted about 40 inches apart on my back raised deck. I put 5 rod holders on a piece of 2 inch channel iron and put 2 extra holes in it so I can drop 2 pedestals in, set the rack on top and use 3/4 inch implement pins to pin the bar to the pedestals. All comes apart when you don't want it there.

[@jonathanwalko7180]

What size jet doctor did you put on?

[@brandonpharis1480]

Boats cool but can’t get down with the forward console !

[@FishOnLuke]

Literally the best part

[@sharonbraselton3135]

There 18 foit cabin crusrrs

[@eduffy4937]

Worst things with my jets: When you really hit something it's EXPENSIVE. second: they suck if you try to use em in a lake. Spin like a top

[@FishOnLuke]

I've had great success with the boat on lakes. I honestly think mine does great on them. Luckily the thrust plate or whatever you call it usually wears and that part is relatively cheap lol

[@eduffy4937]

@@FishOnLuke maybe because yours is fairly deep with strikes and a tunnel it tracks better. Mine is an alweld with a totally smooth bottom made as a mud boat to slide over mud. No strikes, keen or tunnel. It's utterly terrible in the lakes but on a river I have no issue blasting over small sand/gravel bars and it works great for that. Since I'm primarily a river rat I'm happy with it.

[@wynettekell-lo1bo]

G3 are heavier then most

[@FishOnLuke]

Than most what? My boat is light for a 20 ft boat.

[@wynettekell-lo1bo]

@@FishOnLuke 20 ft other then G3 are around 700 yours is about 1200
