The 2026 G3 Gator Tough 18 CCJ is an 18-foot jet-powered aluminum boat built for shallow-water operation. Its tunnel hull design allows it to run and draft shallower than most production jets on the market, making it well-suited for river fishing. The boat is powered by a Yamaha F115/80 jet engine producing 80 horsepower, and features an all-welded 0.100-inch hull with double-braced transom and upright foam flotation throughout.
The layout accommodates up to six people and centers on fishing functionality. A center-mounted livewell keeps baitfish fresh, while a trolling motor plug and 24-volt tray setup support electric trolling. The boat includes dual bilge pumps for safety, gunnel rail tracks for rod and gear mounting, and bow steps on both port and starboard sides. A rear jump seat configuration provides additional seating behind the helm.
Standard equipment includes a 17-gallon fuel tank with fuel/water separator, fuel gauge, horn, 12-volt plug, windshield, navigation lights, courtesy light, bolted powder-coated grab rails, and a steering wheel. The package includes a custom Kodiak Coat trailer with trail guard tongue and 13-inch radial tires plus a spare tire.
