I repowered a 1972 - 16 a few years back with a DF60 and its WOT was 36 mph with a stainless prop. Fantastic gas mileage and boat was very easy to handle. That boat was restored and sold.
I now have a 1968 16 with a 2000 Johnson 90 2S. For reference, my WOT with the Johnson 90 is 41 mph.
Plan to repower with a Suzuki DF60 to keep weight down. Possibly a DF70.
I am going with Suzuki again since dealer / service marina is 1/2 mile away and very good.
If convenience or money were no object, the Yamaha F70 would be hard to beat. If you can get one !
