Aluminum fishing boats

My 16' Waco (or Whacko if you prefer) is rated for a 50Hp outboard with the
console and 20" transom. Without it is rated fro 35HP.

I imagine that 35 would be a minimum for a happy cruising speed, after I get
my decks and lockers installed.

Greetings: Sorry if this is repetitious but I have decided to buy an
aluminum rig for a big lake here in NJ. I had a Tracker Pro175 a
couple of years ago and it was fine, but the 25HP recommended was not
enough. I live near a Lund dealer and a Lowe dealer. Would appreciate
any advice based on your experience. Also, there is one available near
me that is 16', a Polar Kraft, used only once, but the guy had a 9.9
put on for the local resevoir that harbors some huge muskys. He said
(of course) that the 9.9 (4 st.) really hummed. Not too sure. Really
appreciate any suggestions. Thanks guys. Jack.
