I just looked at a Mint 16' Superboat with a 50hp Evinrude, and trailer. Has been sitting in a garage in Brooklyn for 15 years untouched. Boat has no vin on the right rear, guy is looking for reg but says he thinks it is a 1985 and he's the orig owner. Guy is in his 70's now.

I offer him $2500 and he took it. Motor turns over by hand, boat is near mint and looks like it is 5 years old. I have to get trailer tires becuase they are so dry rotted.

Was $2500 a good value, I am not sure what these 16's are going for these days?

If you don't want it for $2500 I'll take it. Does that give you an idea if you are getting a good deal?

I know my 1979 24, and my 1980 24' Had no vin on the rear transome, when did John start putting VIN #'s on the rear right transome of his boats.

Becuase this 16' has no vin number on the right rear either.

What he said!

Nice snag!
where'd you find it for sale? newsday?

I sold a 16 superboat closed deck with a 175 merc on it last year for 1800& I bought it for 1500$. the boat really needed a full restoration. if the boat is clean you got a good deal mine was pretty rough cool little boats loved the acceleration with the 175 Chris

I have been chasing the boat for years, and asking the owner to sell. Boat maybe on Long Island by this weekend! Pictures to follow soon after !!!

Look forward to seeing some pics

I just uploaded 2) pictures 1) from the trip home the other picture sitting home.

Boat is a 1974 16' Superboat no cracks, decent shape for a boat almost 40 years old that spent it's life in Brooklyn. Maybe a nice mid 80's inline tower of power 115 Mercury for her.

Click on the Photos link, the pictures are in there for some reason?
