If you’re looking for a reliable, rugged, and versatile jon boat that’s built for Louisiana’s shallow waters, back bayous, and hidden marshes, the 2025 G3 1652 VBW is ready to deliver. Now available at Power Implements Marine in Iowa, LA, this model blends durability and practicality into a compact, go-anywhere package that’s perfect for hunters, anglers, and utility-minded boaters across the Lake Area.

Whether you need a boat that can quietly slip into flooded timber, navigate narrow marsh drains, or handle light-duty work around the dock, the G3 1652 VBW offers the performance and simplicity that serious outdoorsmen demand. Backed by Yamaha power, G3’s legendary aluminum construction, and proven tiller control, this model is a favorite for customers who value function over frills — and want a boat that works just as hard as they do.

Built for Utility and Shallow Water Versatility

The 2025 G3 1652 VBW measures 15 feet, 10 inches in length with a beam width of 71 inches, offering a generous footprint for a compact boat. This layout provides plenty of stability and usable deck space while still allowing easy trailering and maneuverability in tight water. With a dry weight of only 400 pounds, the 1652 VBW is light enough to tow with smaller vehicles and launch in undeveloped or shallow ramps — ideal for backcountry exploration or solo trips.

Its all-welded aluminum hull features a wide flat bottom, designed for stability and shallow draft operation, allowing the boat to access areas that deeper-V hulls can’t reach. Whether you’re chasing ducks at dawn, throwing a cast net, or heading out for an evening of catfishing, this boat gets you closer to your target without fuss or fanfare.

Reliable Power and Simple Control

This G3 1652 VBW comes equipped with a Yamaha F50LC outboard engine, delivering 50 horsepower through a smooth, efficient tiller-control setup. Yamaha’s reputation for long-term reliability and ease of maintenance makes it a smart choice for boaters who want power they can trust in remote environments.

Tiller steering offers direct control and frees up deck space by eliminating the need for a bulky console. It also allows better visibility, more storage room, and a clear layout that’s perfect for standing, casting, or loading gear. For many Louisiana sportsmen, a tiller rig is the preferred configuration for navigating swampy areas, stumpy flats, and tight marsh edges.

With a maximum engine capacity of 50T/60C, the G3 1652 VBW gives you room to grow or customize performance as needed. The included trolling motor mount expands your options even further, allowing for stealthy approaches in shallow water — a must-have for hunting or bass fishing in pressured areas.

Compact, Capable, and Fully Functional

The 1652 VBW may be compact, but it’s not short on utility. Built to G3’s high manufacturing standards, this model is ready for long seasons of rough use, unpredictable weather, and serious hauling. The open layout and spacious deck design make it incredibly versatile, with room for fishing gear, decoys, traps, fuel tanks, and more.

Some of the most practical use cases for this model include:

  • Duck Hunting: Easily customized with blinds, gun boxes, and dog ladders.

  • Bowfishing: Add deck lighting and storage for gear.

  • Utility Work: Use around docks, marinas, or fish camps for transport and maintenance.

  • Freshwater Fishing: Chase bass, crappie, or catfish in lakes, rivers, or reservoirs.

  • Trapping or Frogging: Navigate narrow sloughs and handle messy conditions with ease.

With a seating capacity of four people, this boat is ideal for solo missions or small groups. Its simplicity makes it easy to load, launch, and clean — the kind of boat that’s ready when you are.
