2008 G3 Angler V 185 FS w/ Yamaha 150 HP Four-Stroke & Kicker - GREAT LAKES FISHING SETUP!
$24,990
Yamaha 150 HP Four-Stroke • Yamaha 8 HP High-Thrust Kicker • Minn Kota Terrova w/ Spot-Lock • Lowrance Elite Fish Finder/GPS • Livewells • Built-In Rod Storage • Convertible Rear Casting Deck • Bimini Top • G3 Trailer Included
If you're looking for a serious aluminum fishing boat that's already rigged for Great Lakes trolling, walleye fishing, salmon and trout, while still remaining versatile enough for bass fishing and inland lakes, this 2008 G3 Angler V 185 FS deserves a serious look.
This isn't a basic fishing boat that you'll need to spend thousands of dollars outfitting after the purchase.
This G3 already has the equipment serious anglers want: Yamaha 150 HP Four-Stroke power, a Yamaha 8 HP High-Thrust kicker, Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor with Spot-Lock, Lowrance Elite electronics, livewells, built-in rod storage, stern rod holders, multiple pedestal fishing positions, large casting decks, Bimini top, and the matching G3 trailer.
The combination of a deep-V aluminum hull, full walk-through windshield, tall interior sides, and dual Yamaha four-strokes makes this an especially attractive package for anglers who want the capability to comfortably fish bigger water.
Run to your spot with the 150. Troll all day with the kicker. Use Spot-Lock to hold over structure. Watch the Lowrance to stay on fish.
Load your rods and tackle and go fishing - the expensive setup work has already been done.
Yamaha 150 HP Four-Stroke Power
The main engine is a Yamaha 150 HP Four-Stroke, giving this 18-foot G3 the power needed to cover water quickly.
For anglers fishing larger bodies of water, horsepower matters. When you're making long runs between fishing locations or trying to get back to the launch as conditions change, having 150 HP hanging off the transom is a major advantage.
Performance Highlights:
✔ Yamaha 150 HP Four-Stroke
✔ Smooth Four-Stroke Power
✔ Quiet Operation
✔ Excellent Fuel Economy
✔ Strong Hole-Shot Acceleration
✔ Excellent Mid-Range Performance
✔ Plenty of Power for Bigger Water
✔ Power Trim & Tilt
✔ Proven Yamaha Reliability
✔ Excellent All-Around Fishing Performance
Yamaha four-strokes have developed an outstanding reputation among fishermen for their combination of dependability, smooth operation, efficiency, and long-term durability.
Yamaha 8 HP High-Thrust Kicker
For serious trolling, this is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment on the entire boat.
Mounted alongside the main engine is a Yamaha 8 HP High-Thrust Four-Stroke kicker motor, giving you a dedicated trolling engine instead of forcing the Yamaha 150 to idle around all day.
Kicker Advantages:
✔ Yamaha 8 HP Four-Stroke
✔ High-Thrust Configuration
✔ Dedicated Trolling Motor
✔ Excellent Low-Speed Control
✔ Quiet Operation
✔ Excellent Fuel Economy
✔ Great for Long Trolling Sessions
✔ Ideal for Great Lakes Fishing
✔ Secondary Outboard Already Installed
For walleye, salmon, lake trout, brown trout, and other trolling applications, having a properly equipped kicker can make a huge difference.
It allows you to dial in trolling speed while reducing unnecessary hours on the main engine.
Two Yamaha four-strokes on one serious fishing platform.
Built for Great Lakes Fishing
The Angler V 185 FS is an excellent platform for anglers who want more protection and capability than a low-sided bass boat.
Its deep-V aluminum hull, full windshield, tall sides, and protected cockpit make it much better suited for changing weather and larger bodies of water.
Big-Water Advantages:
✔ Deep-V Aluminum Hull
✔ Full Walk-Through Windshield
✔ Tall Interior Sides
✔ Protected Cockpit
✔ Stable Fishing Platform
✔ Excellent Visibility
✔ Large Open Fishing Areas
✔ Lightweight Aluminum Construction
✔ Easy Trailering Compared to Larger Fiberglass Rigs
Whether you're chasing Lake Michigan salmon and trout, Green Bay walleye, inland bass, or panfish, this boat has the versatility to handle multiple fishing styles.
Minn Kota Terrova w/ Spot-Lock
Mounted at the bow is one of the most useful pieces of fishing equipment you can put on a boat - a Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor with Spot-Lock.
Spot-Lock uses GPS positioning to electronically hold the boat near a selected location, dramatically reducing the amount of time you spend manually fighting wind and current.
Minn Kota Advantages:
✔ Minn Kota Terrova
✔ GPS Spot-Lock
✔ Bow-Mounted Design
✔ Precise Boat Positioning
✔ Quiet Electric Operation
✔ Excellent for Jigging
✔ Great for Casting Structure
✔ Hold Over Productive Waypoints
✔ Excellent for Windy Conditions
Find the fish, hit Spot-Lock, and concentrate on fishing instead of constantly repositioning the boat.
Lowrance Elite Fish Finder / GPS
At the driver's helm is a Lowrance Elite fish finder/GPS, putting important fishing information directly in front of the captain.
Lowrance Features & Benefits:
✔ Fish-Finding Sonar
✔ GPS Capability
✔ Depth Information
✔ Bottom & Structure Information
✔ Convenient Helm Location
✔ Excellent for Finding Productive Water
✔ Valuable for Trolling & Navigation
When you're fishing bigger water, quality electronics aren't simply a convenience - they're an important part of efficiently finding structure and staying on productive areas.
Huge Front Casting Deck
At the bow, you'll find a large elevated casting platform designed to give anglers plenty of room to work.
The Minn Kota is positioned directly ahead of the casting area, making it easy to control the boat while fishing from the bow.
Bow Fishing Features:
✔ Large Elevated Casting Deck
✔ Minn Kota Terrova
✔ Pedestal Fishing Seat Position
✔ Excellent Visibility
✔ Storage Within Easy Reach
✔ Plenty of Room for Casting
✔ Open Fishing Layout
Whether you're throwing crankbaits for bass, jigging for walleye, or working a weed edge, the bow gives you a dedicated fishing station.
Convertible Rear Casting Deck
One of the smartest features of this G3 is the convertible stern layout.
There are two rear jump seats built into the back of the boat. Leave them upright when you need additional passenger seating, or fold them down to create a much larger elevated rear casting platform.
Two Layouts in One:
Passenger Mode:
✔ Two Additional Rear Seats
✔ More Room for Family & Friends
✔ Comfortable Cruising Configuration
Fishing Mode:
✔ Fold Rear Seats Down
✔ Creates Larger Rear Casting Deck
✔ Additional Elevated Fishing Space
✔ Better Room for Multiple Anglers
This gives the Angler V considerably more versatility than a fishing boat with permanently fixed seating.
Rod Storage Everywhere
Anyone who fishes seriously knows how quickly rods can take over the cockpit.
G3 designed the Angler around fishermen, and this boat provides dedicated rod storage inside the boat along with additional rod storage and holders toward the stern.
Fishing Storage Includes:
✔ Built-In Rod Storage
✔ Rear Rod Storage Area
✔ Multiple Rod Holders
✔ Large Storage Compartments
✔ Tackle & Gear Storage
✔ Under-Deck Compartments
✔ Organized Fishing Layout
Whether you're carrying trolling rods, spinning setups, baitcasters, nets, tackle boxes, or safety equipment, having dedicated storage keeps the cockpit considerably cleaner and safer.
Livewells & Fishing Storage
This G3 also incorporates livewell capability and dedicated fishing storage, giving anglers the equipment expected from a legitimate multi-species fishing boat.
Fishing Features:
✔ Livewell System
✔ Built-In Rod Storage
✔ Multiple Storage Compartments
✔ Large Bow Casting Platform
✔ Convertible Rear Casting Platform
✔ Pedestal Fishing Seating
✔ Open Center Cockpit
✔ Stern Rod Holders
Instead of adapting a recreational boat to fishing, you're starting with a boat that was designed around anglers from the beginning.
Full Walk-Through Windshield
When you're running across open water early in the morning or heading back to the launch after the temperature drops, you'll appreciate the full walk-through windshield.
It provides considerably more protection than a side-console or open-console fishing boat.
Windshield Advantages:
✔ Driver & Passenger Protection
✔ Reduced Wind Exposure
✔ Better Cold-Weather Comfort
✔ Great for Early & Late Season Fishing
✔ Walk-Through Bow Access
✔ More Comfortable Big-Water Runs
For Wisconsin anglers who don't stop fishing just because it's no longer 80 degrees outside, that's a valuable feature.
Bimini Top Included
When the fishing slows down and the summer sun starts beating down, open the included Bimini top and create a shaded area in the cockpit.
It's equally useful when you're fishing with family or spending a more relaxed afternoon cruising the lake.
More Than Just a Fishing Boat
Although this G3 has been heavily outfitted for fishing, the FS - Fish & Ski - layout gives it additional versatility.
Fold up the rear seats, bring the family aboard, and you've got a comfortable platform for cruising and recreational days on the water.
That means you don't necessarily need one boat for serious fishing and another for spending time with the family.
G3 Aluminum Construction
G3 has built a strong reputation in the aluminum fishing market, and Yamaha's long-standing association with the brand makes this particular power package especially appealing.
G3 Advantages:
✔ Deep-V Aluminum Construction
✔ Durable Fishing-Oriented Design
✔ Lightweight Compared with Fiberglass
✔ Easy Trailering & Launching
✔ Excellent Multi-Species Layout
✔ Stable Fishing Platform
✔ Practical Storage
✔ Designed Around Real-World Fishing
For anglers who put significant hours on their boats, aluminum construction offers a compelling combination of durability, manageable weight, and practicality.
Matching G3 Trailer Included
The G3 trailer is included, making this a complete boat, motor, kicker, electronics, trolling motor, and trailer package.
Trailer Benefits:
✔ Trailer Included
✔ Properly Matched to the Boat
✔ Easy Transportation
✔ Convenient Launching & Retrieval
✔ Great for Traveling to Different Fisheries
✔ Winter Storage Flexibility
✔ Complete Turn-Key Package
Whether you're heading north for a weekend fishing trip or towing to a Great Lakes launch, you've already got the trailer you need.
Why This G3 Angler V 185 FS Stands Out
The amount of equipment already installed is what makes this package especially attractive.
You're getting:
✔ Yamaha 150 HP Four-Stroke
✔ Yamaha 8 HP High-Thrust Four-Stroke Kicker
✔ Minn Kota Terrova
✔ Spot-Lock GPS Positioning
✔ Lowrance Elite Fish Finder/GPS
✔ Deep-V Aluminum Hull
✔ Full Walk-Through Windshield
✔ Huge Front Casting Deck
✔ Convertible Rear Casting Deck
✔ Two Folding Rear Jump Seats
✔ Livewell System
✔ Built-In Rod Storage
✔ Rear Rod Storage/Holders
✔ Multiple Pedestal Fishing Positions
✔ Bimini Top Included
✔ G3 Trailer Included
Duplicating this setup from a basic boat could require a substantial investment in electronics, trolling equipment, kicker equipment, rigging, and installation.
This one is already put together.
A True Multi-Species Fishing Machine
This G3 is set up for:
• Great Lakes Salmon
• Lake Trout
• Brown Trout
• Walleye
• Bass
• Northern Pike
• Musky
• Crappie
• Perch & Panfish
• Trolling
• Jigging
• Casting
• Structure Fishing
Run with the Yamaha 150.
Troll with the Yamaha kicker.
Hold over fish with the Terrova Spot-Lock.
Locate structure with the Lowrance.
Cast from the bow or convert the stern into another massive fishing platform.
That's a serious multi-species setup.
Shopping for an Aluminum Fishing Boat?
If you're searching for a Lund, Alumacraft, Crestliner, Ranger, Skeeter, Tracker, MirroCraft, Starcraft, Lowe, Smoker Craft, or other deep-V aluminum fishing boat, this G3 Angler V 185 FS deserves to be on your list.
What makes this particular package compelling isn't simply the G3 hull - it's how much quality fishing equipment is already installed.
For an angler looking to get into Great Lakes or serious multi-species fishing without starting from scratch, this boat checks an impressive number of boxes.
Sun Sport Marine Inspection
Like every boat we sell at Sun Sport Marine, this G3 has been thoroughly inspected by our service department before being offered for sale.
We specialize in quality pre-owned boats and work hard to provide buyers with a more confidence-inspiring alternative to purchasing directly from a private seller.
When you're buying a fishing boat with two outboards, electronics, a trolling motor, livewell systems, and a trailer, knowing the package has been looked over by a dealership adds meaningful value.
The Bottom Line
This 2008 G3 Angler V 185 FS isn't a fishing boat that needs to be built.
It's already built.
You get 150 HP Yamaha Four-Stroke power for covering water, an 8 HP Yamaha High-Thrust kicker for trolling, a Minn Kota Terrova with Spot-Lock for precise positioning, Lowrance Elite electronics for finding fish, livewells, rod storage, huge casting platforms, convertible rear seating, a Bimini top, and the trailer.
Whether you're trolling the Great Lakes for salmon, chasing walleye on Green Bay, jigging inland structure, casting for bass, or taking the family out for an afternoon on the lake, this G3 gives you the equipment and versatility to do it.
