The 2026 G3 1544 LW stands out for its width, a 5-foot, 5-inch beam on a hull that weighs 218 pounds dry. It's an aluminum jon boat 14 feet, 11 inches long, rated for 3 people. That extra width gives a second person room to stand and fish.

Along the Waccamaw near the wildlife refuge, the water's dark and slow, and there's rarely a wake to deal with. A boat this light is easy to launch and haul out on your own. Coastal Marine on Highway 544 in Myrtle Beach has it, and 843-236-9309 gets you someone on the floor.
