2026 G3 Bay 17

The 2026 G3 Bay 17 is a 17-foot center console built from aluminum, designed for freshwater boating in Texas lakes and rivers. Powered by a Yamaha 70 horsepower outboard, the boat delivers responsive handling and stable performance across a range of conditions. Its shallow draft and manageable size make it practical for launching and retrieving, and the lightweight hull allows easy towing.

The open deck layout prioritizes functionality and visibility from the center console. A forward livewell supports fishing activities, while the clear casting area and smart storage placement work well for anglers targeting bass, catfish, and other freshwater species. The design also suits recreational use for families and small groups, with flexible seating and easy boarding throughout the open cockpit.

The aluminum construction and durable materials are built to withstand frequent freshwater use and sun exposure. Systems are straightforward, and the boat requires minimal maintenance. The Bay 17 balances speed and control, making it approachable for both experienced and newer operators navigating open water or shallower environments.
