2026 G3 Gator Tough 18 CC

The 2026 G3 Gator Tough 18 CC is a lightweight aluminum center console built for fishing. At 18 feet with a 7.25-foot beam, the boat combines shallow-water capability with practical deck space. The all-aluminum hull uses 0.100-gauge construction for durability while keeping weight down, and it runs on a single 90 hp Yamaha engine paired with Yamaha controls and cables.

The open deck layout puts function first. Dual aerated livewells support serious fishing, while the front casting deck includes a step for easy access. Roto-molded storage sits forward, with additional lockable storage throughout. The center console features an integrated fuel gauge, and a console door provides extra protection and access. The helm design offers good visibility and maneuverability for river and lake work.

This build includes several upgrades: buoyancy pods in Desert Brown for improved stability and shallow-water performance, a leaning post in Shadowgrass, and a spare tire for trailering. The 19-gallon fuel tank supports all-day outings, while an 800 GPH bilge pump handles water removal. Navigational lights with storage clips, a horn, and cup holders round out the standard equipment. The compact size and lightweight construction make this boat easy to trailer and store.
