Can't find any prices online for these boats.  Love the look of the Eagle 165, just like to know how much it is.  Closest dealer is about 2 hours away and I hate dealing with people on the phone.

I like the G3 boats, you are stuck w/ yamaha as standard but that isn't really a bad thing.

I looked at a Eagle 175 before I got a deal on my Lowe. Tried to find a used Xpress-good luck!

Anyway....this is with a 50hp.

There are many boat manufacturers that don't allow the pricing of their new boats over the internet by their dealers.  G3 is probably one of them.

I have been boat shopping for awhile now...G3 is one of the boats in my top three. I have made ALOT of phone calls and read ALOT of reviews in the past year.

LOL...actually...this works the same as it does with HVAC suppliers and Electrical WholeSalers...it is their way of protecting the dealers profits. It is how they ( the manufactuer) sell being a dealer for their boat brand. I just had an electrical supplier contact me with just this tactic. " We do not sell to homeowners so you can buy at wholesale and mark up the product as high as you like because they cannot compare prices"  ( which is bullcrap when you consider any moron can go to Home Depot or Menards and get a farily good idea what things actually cost)

G3 prices

You will find G3 prices all over the board depending on where you are and what competition is in the area. Example...I talked to a few G3 dealers about a the same boat with the same options and the prices range differed by $3,000-$6,000. The G3 dealers can charge  rates competitive with other boats of different makes but the same " style". I found  the G3 dealer in Illinios ( cannot remember the name...Riverside marine???) to be cheapest, but his local competition are makers like Tracker and Polar Kraft. One of the other Dealers I talked to whose competition was more expensive brands Ranger and Triton were more expensive.

I found some dealers on the G3 site who were getting out of the G3 boats and were selling their stock at really good prices...so calling around may be of some benefit.

When I called and talked to a few G3 dealers I was calling about an 18' Eagle 175 with a 90 or 120 horse outboard...trolling motor...yadda yadda yadda...I was getting prices in the low 20's.

Holy moly, talk about markup! The same dealer has the Eagle 185 here w/ 90 2 stroke DI :

For low 20s you could get a HP 180 w/115 4 stroke:

Center City Marine in Springfield, MO is known to mark up pretty high, and I couldn't get a quote, but I was told an Eagle 175 they have in stock w/ a 90 would be "under 18"

and the HP 180 w/150 4 stroke would be "low-mid 20s"

Well, if I was a G3 dealer and had built a market on good service along with a fair price and then had another dealer, 500 miles away under-cutting my customer base by dealing in volume and advertising the same boats I had for a few thousand less I'd be pretty pizzed.  Not only is that guy skimming my customer base (yes, folks will spend the money in gas to drive 500 miles to save several thousand), but I'll wind up having to take care of any problems that arise with the boat down the road if the original dealer didn't set it up right or there are breakdowns on the boat.  Doesn't sound like a fair deal to me.
