G3 1436 Jon Boats For Sale

The G3 1436 is a 14-foot aluminum jon boat with a 36-inch bottom, built as a compact fishing platform for rivers, ponds and lakes where stability and shallow draft matter more than size. The 2020 model carries no wood anywhere in its construction; the transom is framed in aluminum, which removes the long-term worry of wood rot and the eventual transom replacement that plagues many small boats in this class. For anglers who want a rugged, no-frills hull that holds up to hard use, this is the appeal.

Power is the first number to understand. The 1436 carries a manufacturer rating of 15 horsepower. Running an over-rated 25-horsepower outboard, the boat moves between 26 and 32 to 33 mph depending on load and which prop is mounted, with roughly 30 mph as the steady working speed. That gives it enough pace to cover open water and reach distant areas of a lake without trouble. Owners running horsepower-restricted waters often pair it with a smaller 15-horse motor instead.

The G3 1436 comes with a built-in live well, which is part of why it draws buyers comparing it against an Alumacraft. For the same money, an Alumacraft buyer could step up to a 14- or 15-foot, 42-inch model, but those boats arrive without a live well tank and without the aluminum-framed transom. The G3 adds a flat plate in the bottom for gear to sit on, and a storage area roomy enough to hold a gas tank plus two deep-cycle batteries, which makes a 24-volt trolling motor setup practical alongside the cranking battery.

Inside, the layout centers on bench seating and the open floor between the ribs. The aluminum floor stays cool underfoot because water runs beneath it, a comfort in summer heat, though the bare metal benches absorb sun and get hot enough to need covering. EVA foam decking on the benches, the live well lid, the rear pods and along the sides is a common upgrade for both grip and heat relief. Seat tracks can be added to slide the seats fore and aft for different fishing positions.

The boat suits owners who plan to outfit it themselves. A Humminbird Helix 5 with traditional sonar mounts cleanly at the helm, leaving room to add down imaging up front. A bow-mount trolling motor is typical, though a foot pedal will not sit flat on the ribbed floor without a fabricated aluminum plate to level it. Buyers who run skinny water, such as shallow river stretches, often add a jack plate to raise the outboard and clear obstructions rather than to chase speed.

When weighing a G3 1436 for sale, the trade-off is size against build. You give up the wider beam and extra length of a comparably priced larger jon boat in exchange for the wood-free aluminum transom, the factory live well and the additional storage and gear features G3 builds in. The hull is stable enough for standing and casting, and at around 30 mph with adequate power it has the range to fish large lakes and rivers from a single trailer-ready package.
