G3 Stick Steer Boats For Sale

The G3 Sportsman stick steer is an all-aluminum, all-welded fishing boat built for rivers, small lakes and tight backwater where a forward steering position pays off. Instead of a side console wheel, you control the boat from a forward command center: push the stick all the way forward for a sharp right-hand turn and pull it all the way back for a sharp left. The Sportsman 1610 SS is the value-packed model in the lineup, a durable, lightweight, easy-to-launch rig aimed at panfish and crappie anglers who fish solo or with a partner and want to stay seated and in control the whole time on the water.

Power on the 1610 SS comes from a 70-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke paired with a traditional side-mount Yamaha control box, so throttle and shift stay familiar even with the stick steering. The hull shows no compromise underwater: a clean running surface with no dents, dings or signs of repair when the boat has been cared for. These boats are light enough to launch quickly and maneuver easily, which makes pulling up to a stump, a tree or a holding spot straightforward when you're fishing alone.

The helm centers on a captain's chair that swivels around to give access to the live well and lets you run the trolling motor foot pedal from the seat. The forward panel carries the controls you reach for most: fuel gauge, master power switch, navigation lights, bilge pump and live well switch, plus a quick-release mount for a 12-volt trolling motor. A commonly fitted setup includes a 12-volt, 45-pound-thrust Minn Kota Edge up front and a NOCO two-bank onboard charger that maintains both the trolling motor battery and the rear-mounted crank battery from a single cord. The crank battery, fuel tank, fuel line, fuel sender and a water-separating fuel filter all sit in the stern with easy access.

Storage is built around fishing. The 1610 SS has locking rod storage on both the port and starboard sides with dual latches and hinges that run the full length of each lid, plus bow storage with a dedicated spot for the anchor light. The 10-gallon live well lid is cushioned and doubles as a seat for a third angler, with handles to hold onto. Larger Sportsman models add a 33-gallon live well, a center rod locker and three pedestal locations on the front deck for side-by-side fishing, along with Minn Kota trolling motors and Humminbird electronics as standard equipment.

Older stick steer boats in this size hold their appeal too. A 16-foot model rigged with a trolling motor, full instrument panel including tachometer and depth finder, dual rod lockers on each side and a center live well covers the same all-around fishing role, comfortable for two anglers without anyone having to move around the cockpit.

When evaluating a used G3 stick steer for sale, check the exterior closely. These boats don't use a traditional replaceable rub rail or rubberized exterior trim, so it's common to see light cosmetic abrasion marks at cover touch points where a fitted cover has shifted over time. Those marks are surface-level only and separate from any actual impact damage, so inspect the bottom and running surfaces for dents and the upholstery for condition to judge how the boat was kept.
