I had one with a 90 Johnson on it, and it was my all time favorite boat. I've had lots of boats, and hands down my 160V was my favorite. Very tough boat, just as stable as any 16 ft boat. I had a 190V with a 175 Mariner, and I didn't like it near as much as the 16 ft. If you fish by yourself or with one other person, I think you will really like it. You'll love the fact that it has livewells in front and back.
