What owners & reviewers say
Based on 6 reviews from across the web
The T16 earns consistent praise for how it handles on the water. Our owners and the reviewers we follow describe a deep-V hull that carves through chop and wakes with minimal pounding, and the boat responds well to trim adjustments. It is nimble and genuinely fun to drive, qualities that win over boaters who previously owned flatter-bottomed alternatives.
Fit and finish compare favorably to entry-level competitors in its class, and the compact size makes it straightforward to trailer and launch. Comfort at rest is more modest than a dedicated deck boat, but once you are moving, the sport hull ride more than compensates according to our owners.
A few practical details vary from owner to owner. Some find the hardware placement, particularly the battery location and cleat mounting, less thoughtful than expected. Rear storage cushions can need attention before towing to prevent them from lifting at highway speeds. On the power side, our owners who carry fuller loads consistently recommend stepping up to the higher-output motor option to maintain confident planing.

Frequently asked questions
How does the T16 ride in choppy water?
Our owners describe the deep-V hull as handling chop and wakes well, with minimal splashing and pounding. It is one of the most consistently praised qualities of this boat.
Is the T16 easy to tow and trailer?
Generally yes, but we do advise securing the rear storage cushions and bin before heading down the road. A few of our owners have had the bin lift at highway speeds when it was not tied down.
What motor size do you recommend for carrying a full load of passengers?
Based on what our owners tell us, the higher-output motor option makes a noticeable difference when you are carrying five or six people. The lower-output motor works well with two or three adults but can struggle to reach planing speed with a full boat.
How does the T16 compare to a deck boat for comfort?
At a standstill or at slow speeds, a deck boat offers more seating comfort. Once you are moving, though, our owners consistently say the T16's sport hull ride pulls ahead, especially in anything other than flat water.
Is hydraulic steering worth adding?
We think so, and the professional review we rely on agrees. There is noticeable torque feedback from the outboard during tight turns, and hydraulic steering smooths that out considerably.
What are the most common practical complaints from owners?
The hardware layout draws the most comments, specifically the battery location, cleat mounting, and the boarding challenge when the bimini is fitted without a ladder. None are deal-breakers, but they are worth knowing about before you buy.
