Good one - I find it a little loose by myself at 75mph!! much better to have at least one passenger.
I just put in a new 350 Gen X 5.7ltr EFI Mercruiser and new Solas 4 blade prop on my Classic 16'. Got to luv passing jet ski's in comfort and a whole lot of style!!
my uncle has an 18' donzi 302hp chevy small block ...it hits around 65...so much fun to go out and race the jet skiis cause theyre all like "how the heck can that small thing do that?"..we win alot of quick match races...nice boat dude.
81.3 gps... best she ever saw... 413 @ the crank - RW Engineering Co. built 350 chevy, Merc Alpha SS w/ MOD VP 2.5 Litre OB gearcase - 1.59:1 ratio sterndrive... spinning 27 inches of Hydromotive Quad IV O/T... Don't believe the numbers.. you do the math... 27" prop, 1.59 ratio sterndrive, 5200 rpm on that tach... against a 3 - 4 mph current... please note the Garmin Legend right in front of me on the grab rail....
Hmmm....my stock 4.3 liter won't go over 54...waaaahhhhh

A 16' with a mighty v8 and the proper prop, 72mph is doable.
