Re: 16' Center Console
I realize that everyone on the forum is a big 30Y2K man now 
...but the 16's & 21's are still alive here on L.I. . I ran into these guys at the ramp last week...pulling this 16 out for the season. Another SUPERBOAT that sat in the pond.....this time all year.

Anyone know of a 16' console project???
Hi all:
Just found this forum.
I grew up on the South Shore and (mis)spent my youth clamming. The first time I saw a 16 Superboat zip by was a revelation. Had the good fortune shortly thereafter to ride in a 16 with an in-line 6 Merc 150 and a solid hub chopper. There was no GPS back then (mid-70's) but a couple of differrent speedo's indicated over 60 mph. I've been way faster since, but going that 60+ in a 16 boat was just about the most thrill per dollar I could imagine. So...
Now I'm all grown up - strike that, I'm lots older - and I have a variety of toys - 20 Sea Ox CC, 25 proline with (self) custom designed pilot house, 20' self designed/built cheaspeake deadrise and 17' self designed/built garvey. Even with all these toys, I'd still like to get a 16' superboat just to zip on nice days and get in a little fishing - save the bigger stuff for the snottier days.
It helps that I have a pair of 150 hp inline 6 Mercs ready to go on a project.
Anyone know of a 16' console Superboat somewhere between LI and Annapolis MD? I'd prefer a beater since I'll want to re-stringer and raise the floor a few inches in back to promote self bailing anyway. I'll also want to chop the console (to reduce windage, you know) and give the boat a lower profile.
Any leads gratefully appreciated.
Thanks...Steve.

Re: 16' Center Console
Anybody remember a 16cc, blue & white named "TIDERUNNER" ? I found it in a pasture in NW Georgia, take it to Florida's left coast bay fishing alot. Love the boat, forgot to ask when I called Superboat for info on it, didn't they come factory with a 17 gal below deck tank? Need to do something about that 22gal above deck tank taking up all my fishing room. Any advice , i'd appreciate it, thanx, Rick C
