Frequently asked questions
How many recalls has G3 Boats had?
G3 Boats has three USCG recalls on record: a 2006 flotation campaign affecting 29 units, a 2007 hull crack campaign affecting 2,306 units, and a 2015 deck hinge failure on Deep Vee models.
What was the largest G3 Boats recall?
The 2007 hull crack recall (campaign 070026T) was the largest, affecting 2,306 boats across various G3 models. Buyers should inspect any pre 2008 G3 hull for crack evidence or repair history.
Should I avoid G3 Boats models from certain years?
Not necessarily, but 2006 to 2007 models warrant closer hull inspection due to the crack campaign, and 2015 Deep Vee models need deck hinge verification. A remedied recall does not disqualify a boat.
How do I check if a used G3 Boats boat was recalled?
Enter the hull identification number into the Coast Guard recall search at recalls.boatus.org or uscgboating.org. Contact G3 Boats customer service with the HIN to confirm remedy status if the boat falls within a campaign.
