[QUOTE="holdnon72, post: 438237, member: 21417"] I'm torn on what 12' flat bottom jon boat to buy. It's either the G3 1236 or the lowe 1236...The G3 is made from slightly thicker aluminum and weighs 144# the lowe weighs 124# The G3 is open at the rear of the boat but the lowe has extra flotation runners at the rear of the boat giving you a little less storage space,but more weight cpacity. The lowe 1236 can carry about 45 more pounds then the G3 because its lighter and has the extra foam at the rear. Also the G3 hase side depth of 18" inches and the lowe side depth is 17" inches. What are the advantages and disadvantages of either? We will be using the set up with electric motor in small lakes and ponds...Someday I might get a 6HP yamaha gas for it My wife and I weigh 365 combined...I will only be adding 2 seats and 2 floors...But just basic wood floors with carpet,No front deck Links to both boats--->https://www.loweboats.com/jon-boats/l1236-jon/ Link----->https://www.g3boats.com/riveted-and-welded-jon-boats#compared Both boats cost the same...Thanks for any info [/QUOTE]
