Modifying a brand new G3 1448

Anyone ever own a G3 boat? I just bought one today. It has a live well in the center bench. How do you hook up a pump or even use it? Has anyone put a deck on this boat before? I want to put a deck on and maybe pedestal seats. Let me know how you made out.

Welcome to TB!


Post some pics of your G3 - they are awesome boats.

if you use the Search feature you will find all your answers and then some.

Welcome Aboard and congrats on your new ride!

I might be a little biased but G3's are great boats!

Is this the boat you bought? Riveted or Welded?

Here's the only pic I have at the moment. I'll be out there takin more once the sun comes up. This pic is of my livewell. How would you hook up a pump in this? I never saw a livewell like this. It has a standing tube that fits into a rubber plug and sticks in a hole in the bottom of the boats floor. You can pull it out too. Not sure what to make of it. Heres 2 pics. Let me know how to use it. Here are the two links:
