2007 G3 Boats Lx325 Cdlx Test Details
| Pontoon boats have come a long way from their origins as floating patios, offering basic features and amenities and less than stellar performance and handling. With the addition of a third log, these familyfriendly boats can up their performance, showing similar characteristics as that of a modified V-hull. The Sun Catcher LX325 CDLX by G3 (a Yamaha Boat Company) has taken pontoon performance and luxury to a new level. Listed as a 25-foot model, the actual overall length is 31 feet, 11 inches (9.72 metres). When paired with a beam of 104 inches (2.64 metres), this boat has all the room you could want to entertain a crowd on the water. From bow to stern, G3 has incorporated luxury features and superb quality, like plush 28-ounce marine carpet, to make this boat a leader in the category. Forward, there is a large couch to starboard with excellent 33-ounce vinyl upholstery that will stand up for years. Like all of the seating, the base is manufactured from roto-moulded plastic, with rain drain scuppers that will keep all of your gear dry and last a lifetime. To starboard, the LX325 moves up from the typical couch to a pair of fully adjustable captains seats that match the helm seat, providing excellent comfort at rest or underway. A removal pedestal table that mounts fore or aft is great for a snack or beverage while anchored. Aft seating is a wraparound couch to port, again with a large amount of dry storage capacity as well as a 12-gallon aerated live well. Mid-ships, ahead of the couch, is a refreshment centre with sink, water, cutting board, ample storage and a trash container. Under the stern sun pad, the Sun Catcher has incorporated a pop-up privacy enclosure with ample space for a porta-potty. To starboard, the helm console features full instrumentation, a stainless steel tilt wheel, a standard Garmin fish finder and Sony satellite radio-ready AM/FM CD stereo system. The fully adjustable helm seat ensures a comfortable position for any size of captain. Construction on the LX325 is top notch from the logs up as well. The U-shaped logs have a higher volume than typical round logs and incorporate floatation foam for added safety. The nose cones on the logs are double-plated for superior strength. The deck frame cross members are through-bolted to the logs - a method that is much stronger than welds. The deck itself is seven-ply, marine-grade plywood that carries a full warranty for 10 years. Underway is where a triple-log pontoon shines. The addition of the third log is all about performance and the G3's lifting strakes and high buoyancy get the boat up moving quickly and efficiently. The LX325 is rated for a maximum of 225 horsepower that bears this out. Our test boat was powered by a Yamaha F150 four-stroke - an extremely quiet and clean four-cylinder outboard. The motor incorporates dual overhead cams and electronic fuel injection, delivering excellent power and fuel efficiency. Initial impressions when testing the Sun Catcher LX325 and the Yamaha F150 were great, with the package delivering an excellent hole shot, getting to plane and beyond quickly. Underway, the three logs cut through boat wakes without pounding and handled turns quite well, not leaning to the outside like a twin log pontoon. However, where we couldn't get the LX325 to shine was on top end. Our test boat had just arrived and was launched without time to dial in the correct prop. While we saw speeds in and around 30 mph, the Yamaha only pulled 4500 rpm. With a change in prop, this package should push 40 mph, making the Sun Catcher LX325 CDLX a great family boat suitable for all kinds of fun on the water - including just letting the wind blow through your hair during a quick run up the lake. |

About G3 Boats
How do we measure our success? It is measured with consumer satisfaction and by answering this simple question, "Does our product line give our customers the quality, features and performance they deserve for their money?"
Features like welded construction using the highest-grade .100 gauge marine aluminum. Unihull designs for a stronger, more stable craft from bow to stern. The 'New Generation Hull' for superior performance on all G3 boats. Our exclusive GX2 double-plated V-Hull designs. Interior designs specifically engineered for comfort and performance. Reliable custom-built powder-coated trailers and legendary outboard power by Yamaha. Not to mention striking graphics and luxurious upholstery. First-class attention to detail throughout adds up to the best value on the water.
And the success of G3 boats is measured by your own friends and neighbors. Boaters like you who might own an HP high performance boat, Sun Catcher Pontoon or Gator Tough Jon, as G3 boats has been one of the fastest growing aluminum marine manufacturers in the country for the last five years straight.
Our family of craftsman - from the manufacturing floor to the management staff - are fishermen, just like our customers. Fishermen, who believe in testing and re-testing every component thoroughly before proceeding to the next step and always striving for excellence.
It's all part of the G3 boats advantage and can be found in every component we manufacture. Plus, when you purchase a new boat, motor and trailer as a package, you will be reimbursed for your resident freshwater fishing license for the first three years you own your G3 boat package.
We encourage you to compare quality, price and features available in any other aluminum boat line and then take a look at G3 boats. You won't find better fishing partners than G3 boats and Yamaha.
Quality of G3 boats
A quality boat calls for a quality outboard. And Yamaha is the benchmark by which outboard excellence is measured. Proven technology like advanced microcomputer ignition and Yamaha's state-of-the-art anti-corrosion protection system provides outstanding reliability and dependability day in and day out.
Yamaha just can't leave well enough alone. It continues to reach unprecedented levels of power and performance and then finds ways to take them even higher. Yamaha's OX66 Advanced Fuel Injection Technology, for example, led the way to its new HPDI (High Pressure Direct Injection), which swept the industry's innovation awards. And Yamaha's expanding series of compact and lightweight four-stroke outboards is becoming the preferred choice of more and more anglers, thanks to its clean, quiet, and fuel-efficient performance. When you want the best, look for Yamaha. It's the power behind every G3 boat.
