Re: 16' Center Console
 

I have 12 gallon gas tank and battery under console. Seems to be a good setup. Could use a bigger tank though.

Re: 16' Center Console
 

i believe mine is 20+gallons just fits under the steering console
i am still weary with my new sender. i have a 12' setback which might be to much if i had no setback the baystar hydro steering would hit the transom. i have a bobs nosecone but I dont have exprience putting it on. any pics of the process.

Re: 16' Center Console
 

cwc says he has battery under console which makes it tidy and nice. I used the front part of the console for toolbox and life jackets.

my bench seat is uncomfortable wold like to throw a bucket in . any advice. I like those buckets that the front pops up for leaning

Re: 16' Center Console
 

Nice job on that project pwm. I'm hoping to be done by middle of june, but i think i'm being optimistic... I boat out of Southold and hope to be able to fish Gardiners Bay for bass in the fall...I fly fish mostly, so I need calm water anyway so this boat should fill the bill.

Most of my fiberglass work is done, so it's about ready to be sprayed. I'm bonding another set of stringers to the set that is already there. these new stringers will have knees which will tie into the transom and the motorwell/deck. I'll show pics when complete.

I'm going to put a 6" hydraulic CMC plate on mine...mainly to get into shallow water...I think my little 115 should be enough power to get her on plane ok...

I just bought a Todd swingback seat also... it fits perfect and also serves as a baitwell/cooler :)

All of the cushions are at Kryptonite for recovering...

I have the 18 gallon Tempo tank under the console all the way forward and I cut the floor around it so it sits as low as possible in the boat---I'll have room above it to stow life preservers and/or fenders. The oil tank fits nicely right next to the fuel tank.

I got my panels back from powdercoat and the new windscreen back from island plastics this weekend.

I'll get some pics up after this rain we're supposed to get passes...

Merry Christmas all..... I just found this site....It brings back all the great memories I have of boating on the South SHore from '94-'99.

I lived on Pirate's cove in Massapequa park. A paradise for boaters. It even beats Key West in some ways.

I have lots more pics if anybody wants .....Anyone still read this thread ?



Here's a pic of my '97 16 BY Request ... This is how I found it in storage after Hurrican Wilma came through. I was very happy to find only the cover damaged.

Re: 16' Center Console
 

nice 16. how does it do with that 150?

Re: 16' Center Console
 

She gets to mid sixties real quick....that's the fun with this boat, acceleration.

It could go alot faster but i wouldn't want to hit a stray wake at 70 + mph ...... I had a 21' that did 72mph easy, and it was WAAAY more stable.

PIC of the 21...

Re: 16' Center Console
 

better pic of the 21' ...

Re: 16' Center Console
 

mine is still sitting in the garage waiting for me to finish it...but the house comes first...

that yellow 16 is sweet!

Re: 16' Center Console
 

Thank Sean. Send pics of your project if you have them. I've seen just about every 16 out there I think .... Show me the boat and I'll tell you where I saw it.

I think I am a recovering boataholic

Re: 16' Center Console
 

steve...its the boat that i started this thread with...

Re: 16' Center Console
 

BY THE WAY ..... You can click the pics of my yellow 16 at anchor, as well as my old white/blue 21 to see the pics in a much bigger size..... Steve

Re: 16' Center Console
 

Sean....That's a sweet old 16. Are you going to keep the wood hardware on the decks? ( I like that on a boat) .

What power are you hooking up ?


I have definitely seen that boat ...... Or one just like it arouns Sayville/Oakdale while I was looking for one in '96.

Where is it now ?

Re: 16' Center Console
 

I got rid of all of the wood...it was in bad shape and i'm not fond of wood anyway... :)

the boat is in Southold now...and I've got a leftover '03 Johnson 115 for it.

I've got to get my rental house finished and rented...and then i can finish up the boat. i hope to have it ready for the summer.

Re: 16' Center Console
 

got quite a bit of work done this past weekend and will take some pics next weekend. i can't believe how slow this is going, but we should be getting ready to rig it in two weeks...now that all the major house projects are complete. :)

anyone have anymore pics to post?


that yaller boat looks real nice:)

Re: 16' Center Console
 

just winterized, but its good to see your still in the project. sometimes you need to step back and do the other projects.
as i was winterizing i was thinking of a sport seat and lower sport custom center console
like the 21 mill, but single seat.what do you think

please discuss?

ps. pwm74 is now snakster

Re: 16' Center Console
 

snakester... I've been contemplating the exact thing. cutting down the console and the windscreen as well as the Todd bench i bought... i think it would look sharp...

for now though, I plan on leaving the stock heights....jsut want to get it done at this point. :)

Re: 16' Center Console
 

got quite a bit done...

floor gelcoated with non-skid
most of the rigging is in
jackplate is bolted on

hopefully bolt on the motor next weekend... :)

anyone know what a fully restored 1985 super 16' with a 88SPL would be worth ?

where is it located.....if its on the island may be worth a little more since superboat is a known name there....if its in some other state then likely less since no many out of staters know what a super is....

This baby just came into the shop today for a new console and fuel tank. It was fully restored and looks better then new !! Alot of love went into this job.

rick that one is niceee...whos is it???

that's a good lookin 16 rick...

Gorgeous! Let's see some interior pics too if you can!

After I do a new non skid on the sole, it's geting a new console. I'll have pics when it's done.

Rick

Sounds great - how many of these 16's are out there?

Probably a few hundred. And the guy who owns it is named Dan. I don't know his last name.

Wow! That's a lot! I thought there were less than that...

Mine's finally done. Picked it up today from the canvas shop. I had this custom cover made so that I didnt have to put any more holes in the boat... :)

here's a few more...

couple more...

lastly, a couple "before" shots :D

Look's great. All you need is a couple of superboat stickers

thanks jim, i got the stickers from Coen 2 years ago! :) Now I just need to figure out where to put them. I'm leaning toward putting them on the deck instead of the hullsides because it sits so low in the water.

how's things by you? be sure to look me up this summer if you're out this way.

thing's are ok, Still recovering from my divorce

I plan on hitting claudios a few times this summer, Ill let you know when i'm there

Gorgeous work Sean!!! I might like to get my hands on one of those, let me know if anyone has a lead on a SB 16 out there!

Sean, looks great!
I really like the clean gauge free dash.
RPM is plenty. :D

east islip is the location. My brother restored this and has since left it to me to value his estate. It is just like the yellow one (also yellow)
