My grandson has acquired a Deckette Pro 160 from the late 1980s. It currently has a frozen Evinrude 100hp. Does anyone have any information on the outboard motor ratings for this boat or a similar boat? Just need to know the minimum and maximum hp rating for the boat.

Interesting, this suggests it's 60hp overpowered

Key Specs:
  • Length: 16 feet 2 inches
  • Beam: 5 feet 10 inches
  • Max Person Capacity: 3
  • Dry Weight: 719 lbs
  • Fuel Capacity: 6 gallons
  • Max Horsepower: 40 hp
  • Hull Type: Modified V

I agree. 100d HP is too much for a 16' boat of any kind unless you are into racing and most are structured to handle that kind of power.....ask Faztbullet....he used to race and his Avatar shows some of his handy work and operator skills.

Frozen engines are created by cheap people who drive WOT all the time. With no interest in correct oils or oil levels.
Just buy the new motor. If the hull area around the motor looks perfect.
No cracks or a coat of paint to hide the cracks.
