Buyer questions
Eight questions buyers ask about the G3 Sportsman 1710, answered from the boats listed on US Marine Connection right now.
Right now US Marine Connection shows four approved, priced Sportsman 1710 listings asking between $22,999 and $32,600, with a median asking price of $32,600. Those are asking prices, not what anyone actually paid. Note that three of the four are listed as new units with a Yamaha F70LB and a trailer included, which is part of why the asking prices cluster toward the top of that range.
The listed model years run from 2019 to 2026. Only one of the four is clearly a used boat, a 2019 described as having 63 engine hours and light use, while the others are posted as new units with a Yamaha F70LB outboard and a BEAR standard trailer. So the choice on the site is essentially one older used hull or current new stock, with nothing in between listed.
There is not enough data here to call anything typical. Only one of the four listings states engine hours: the 2019 boat at 63 hours, described as light use. The other three are new units and list no hours at all. If hours matter to you, ask the seller directly, since most descriptions on these listings cover length, engine and trailer rather than usage.
With the 2019 being the one used boat listed, focus on the welded all-aluminum hull: look along the seams and welds, check the transom, and inspect the bottom for dents or hard-grounding marks. Run the Yamaha outboard through a cold start and full throttle, and confirm the stated hours on the gauge. Check the included trailer's bunks, tires, lights and bearings, plus livewell pumps and the front casting deck hardware.
Going only by what the listings say: it is a 17-foot all-aluminum fishing boat with a welded .100-gauge hull, described as lightweight and easy to tow, with a spacious front casting deck. The three new listings pair it with a Yamaha F70LB outboard and include a BEAR standard trailer. Anything beyond that, such as electronics or seating details, is not spelled out in these descriptions, so confirm with the seller.
That is what the listings point to. Every one is categorized as a fishing boat, and the descriptions call it an all-aluminum rig built for anglers, with a welded hull and a spacious front casting deck. It is also described as light and easy to tow, which suits lakes and rivers you trailer to. The descriptions say nothing about offshore use, so do not stretch a 17-foot aluminum boat beyond protected water.
All four current Sportsman 1710 listings on US Marine Connection are in two places: Houston, Texas has three of them, and Osage Beach, Missouri has one. Each of the four includes photos. If you are not near Texas or Missouri, there is nothing else listed for this model at the moment, so you would either travel or wait for new listings to appear.
On price alone, using current listings: the Sportsman 1710 asks $22,999 to $32,600 with a $32,600 median across four boats and model years 2019 to 2026. The Bay 17 shows three listings, all 2026, all asking $31,293. The 16 DK shows three 2026 listings, all asking $21,125. The site does not provide feature-by-feature specs for those siblings, so treat this as a price and availability comparison only.
