Hi thanks for replying
Im thinking of buying a 16ft power boat, its a 71 winner, i beleive
its fiberglass, and it has a honda 01, 50hp motor. I just want to joy
ride for the most part, knee boarding might be fun too.

How long is the boat? 8ft, 80ft, 800 ft?

How much is your budget?

Factory built outboard boats built in the past 40 years or so have a name
plate showing the maximum rated horsepower.

You might get a better reply at your local boat dealers.

If you can be more specific, we might be able to offer some suggestions.
