G3 Angler V175FS Boats For Sale

The G3 Angler V175FS is an aluminum deep-V fish-and-sport boat built by G3 Boats, a Yamaha company, and it splits its life between serious fishing and family days on the water. The hull uses a wide-body design with four lifting strakes, and the 12-inch gunwales are broad enough for two people to stand on one side without making the boat tippy. The double-plated aluminum hull adds a second layer of material for impact protection. Bow and stern raised casting platforms convert quickly: the bow has a removable deck insert with a seat base, while the stern jump seats fold down to open a full fishing platform. Lockable rod storage is hidden in the gunwales, so the boat can be tied up at a dock or fuel pump with no fishing gear in sight, then ready to fish within a few minutes.

Power has varied across model years. A V175FS rigged with a Yamaha F115 four-stroke planed in 3.8 seconds, reached 25 mph in 7.3 seconds, and topped out at 40.4 mph. A 2011 example fitted with a Yamaha 150 four-stroke fuel-injected outboard ran 43 mph in chop and trimmed out closer to 45 mph, holding a comfortable 23 mph cruise at just under 4,000 RPM in rough water. An earlier 2004 G3 V175 Angler used a 90-horsepower Mercury four-stroke. The lighter aluminum hull reaches these speeds on less horsepower and less fuel than a comparable fiberglass boat of the same length.

The helm carries Yamaha gauges for speed, tachometer, fuel, trim and voltmeter, with lighted switches, tilt steering, a bilge pump, electric horn and two 12-volt power outlets. The 2011 boat was set up with BayStar hydraulic steering for light, controlled handling. Audio runs through a Sony or Boss AM/FM/CD marine stereo with weather guard and aux input, and some boats add a four-speaker system. The hull is pre-wired for a 24-volt trolling motor at both bow and stern; equipped units have carried a Minn Kota Terrova i-Pilot or Power Drive V2 with GPS spot-lock anchor mode, plus Humminbird, Garmin or Lowrance fishfinders on RAM mounts.

The cockpit centers on a flexible seating system with six in-floor pedestal bases — one in the bow, four in the cockpit and one in the stern. The driver's seat swivels and slides, and two movable swivel fishing chairs relocate between bases as needed. Fishing equipment includes aerated and recirculating livewells fore and aft, a port gunwale rod locker that holds seven rods, side cargo nets for tackle, in-floor rod tubes, and livewell, rod-locker and courtesy lighting. Storage runs along both cockpit sides and through the bow compartments, with in-floor battery storage and an onboard battery charger.

Flooring is cockpit vinyl for easy cleanup, with optional snap-in carpet that matches the gunwale carpeting. The boat carries six mooring cleats — four stainless pop-up and two standard at the bow — plus beverage holders and passenger safety handles throughout, a glove box, and a stern boarding platform with a folding ladder. A ski tow pole or tower supports water sports, and the boat throws a usable wake for tubing. Fuel capacity is 33 gallons on later boats and 35 gallons on the 2004 Angler, with seven-person and six-person carrying capacities respectively.

When shopping the G3 Angler V175FS for sale, check the engine fitted, since horsepower ranges from 90 to 150 across years and directly affects performance. Most come on a bunk trailer with surge disc brakes, swivel jack, removable tongue, side centering guides and a spare tire. On used examples, look over the aluminum hull and keel for dock rub marks and paint wear, and inspect trailer crossmembers for surface rust, particularly if the boat has seen salt water.
