I remember a while back you inquiring about the weight of the 16, as was I. The original advertisements list the gross weight at 1500, but current Donzi weight is close to 2500. I have in my possesion 3 Donzi brochures: 16 Classic (1995) 30th Anniversary (1995) and a 1992 "SWEET 16" Broshure. All 3 adds have the weight at 1845 and MAX HP listed at 205 (both 1995 adds).
Only the 1992 list all of the avail engines:
4.3 175 HP
5.0 185 HP
4.3 H.O. 205 HP :D
Assuming the 5.0 is the heaviest, I would suspect the 1845 is for the V6 models.
I have a 1994 4.3 HO, I'm convinced the weight is 1845lbs, given it was that in 1992(OMC) and 1995 (same merc engines).
I have no information to explain the Donzi specs for 2002.
From Donzimarine.com - Classic series:
16 2500 :(
18 2700
22 3400
I find it hard to beleive that a 18 weighs only 200 pounds more, perhaps the 16 weight is wrong.
Another theory, the 16 with a V8, trim tabs, windsheild and the newer styled upgraded interiors would add a few hundred pounds over the v6 no trim tabs (ok there not that heavy but I'm working this hard) sans windshield.
What I can verify is that from at least 1992-1995 the listed weight (most likely standard power - V6) is 1845.
