    16 OB Baby Owners - How Many Are Left?

    Matty would know how many of the 16 OB Baby hulls were built but fair to say less than 200 between 1965 and 1978 plus the 6 built in the 90's. If you have one, know of one, or have a picture of one, post it up. The more details the better. I am wondering if there are 100 or so left worldwide?

    Here is a start...............an ad from 1972
    1972 16 OB - C16B-63 - "Surface Tension" Resto Project
    1974 16 OB - DMR16106017-B - "The Mule"

    to the best of my knowledge there are two in NH, one is on Craigslist right now, a boat from Winni, I've never seen it . .and a another in the same area. First one is dark blue, second one is white IRC correctly.

    High Life in MA owns another . . white with a Johnson I think . .

    I chose eggbeaters for eggs only . . .and the transom of my Boston Whaler

    Mario, You got it half right. I have #151 with a 200 Mariner on the transom... the 300X would probabily sink the boat. HIGH LIFE

    Anyone happen to know who owns this 1971 16 OB or what state it is in? I always wondered how many 16 OB's were left across the USA. If I actually knew how, it would be cool to have an interactive USA map with locations of the known surviving 16 OB Baby hulls.

    So when you need parts you'll know where to look?

    Actually it would be cool. Wouldn't be a crowded map though....

    Only 50 left? Wow, I always thought they were a dime a dozen. I know of 10 or so here on Long Island including the one I'm doing. The one in the for sale section is the first one I've seen in red though. Most of the 16's I've seen are lt. blue/wht, followed by blk/wht and one yellow/wht.

    Wow, if there are 10 just on LI then perhaps I am very low on my count. I think I remember Matty saying they built 170 or so new.
