There used to be a couple of the 16's around here with V6 power on them. They where always fun to watch!I Had a heavy ported 200 with a cut down mid on a 16' and it drove like a dream.. The original owner in 1983 ran 1800' drags with a ported 235 omc on alcohol with a 28 pitch prop, yikes
My {guess} is still very efficient. Lighter pad vee with no hull in the water = efficient. Not to mention a lot less money to buy im sure. i think just a fun factor boat for rivers and smaller lakes. Be a great started boat for a teenager.I would wonder how much more effecient one of these are compared to say an XB2002. Sure the older boat its smaller and lighter, but beings the XB2002 is built on more modern hull design I would be really interested in the difference. Smaller on a less effecient hull may just equal out to a wash to a bigger more effecient hull.
