The G3 1652 is a 16-foot aluminum jon boat with a 52-inch beam, sized as a tiller-steered fishing platform for shallow freshwater and protected saltwater flats. It comes from G3's lineup of 15- to 20-foot jon boats, which ranges from bare hulls meant for a small 9.9 to rigged tunnel-hull models. Buyers can order it without the center bench seat to open up more standing and walking room, and a floor-inside option covers the hull ribs so the deck is flat and easier to move across.
A common rig is the Yamaha F25 with a 20-inch shaft, which pushes the 1652 to roughly 27 to 28 mph, and close to 30 mph in ideal conditions. G3 is owned by Yamaha Motor and builds these boats exclusively around Yamaha outboards. The transom is built to be repowered or reconfigured, and owners have converted the 1652 into a jet tunnel setup running a Yamaha F70 with a jet foot, raising the transom and reworking the rear pan to clear the jet drive.
Construction reflects G3's freshwater fishing focus. The hulls use 5052 marine aluminum in gauges from 0.080 up to 0.125 inch depending on model size, with a double-plated bottom that adds a second layer of aluminum for running over rocky or stumpy bottoms. Closed-cell foam is shot into the compartments for flotation, structural support, and a quieter, more solid feel in chop. Brand coverage includes a five-year bow-to-stern warranty and a limited lifetime warranty on the external hull seams. G3 traces back to the Applebee Boat Company, founded in 1960 in Lebanon, Missouri, where the boats are still built today.
Storage is modest but practical. There is a small bow compartment for an anchor, rope, and life preservers, and the stern area carries the gas tank, battery, and a dry box. A paddle is included. The bow casting deck and rear bench come bare; owners frequently add EVA foam decking to cut down on heat and improve grip, since the aluminum gets hot in summer sun, along with nylon cleats, rod clips, and a center-strapped cooler in place of the deleted bench.
The flat, open layout makes the 1652 a strong base for rigging. Typical additions include a Garmin Striker fish finder on a swivel mount, LED spot/flood lighting, a Johnson automatic bilge pump plumbed over the transom, and a stick-style shallow-water anchor. The wide rear ribs leave room to route steering and control cables forward, and the transom and gunnels can be modified for battery banks, bilge mounting, and shallow-water anchor brackets. One point to weigh when buying used: G3 stopped using wood in its boats around 2006, so models from roughly 2005 and earlier have wood in the transom and forward deck that can hold water and may need attention.
