I just bought this and nobody seems to recognise it... any info will be appreciated!

Superboat(s), I never saw that before

Its a Sport deck 16'. Haven't made them in years. How much did you get it for?

I didn't pay a whole lot for it. I'm not planning to restore it, just tighten it up a bit, add power (any suggestions?) and have some fun with it out here in the local waters of mid-Suffolk. I would like to sell it to someone who will make it beautiful again, after I've had my turn.

I'm trying to decide how to power this little boat. Should I go with a smaller engine 300 pound (115-135) engine or put a bigger (380 pound) V6 (150-200) on it? I've got a 4 inch setback jack plate which I can use or abandon. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

V-6

george, no way my wife makes me sell a 16' closed deck!
i'll hide it like a goomar

The boat was for sale for about 3 years, it had a 115 merc in line on it. I offered him $700 last year and he said he wanted $900 for it with out motor.

I picked up a 115 Yammie for it. Anybody think that's underpowered? If so I'll reconsider. Thanks all.

I would quess very miod to high 50's mph with a 115 if you get a jack plate and a chopper prop a few more MPH. Best of luck. I had my eye on the boat for 3 years, but I had a firm price of $700 he came as low as $900 during the winter for the boat you bought. 3 years ago he was asking 1900, then $1200 2 years ago and it sat and sat.
