I see earlier in this thread someone posted a Aussie 16 O/B does anyone have any more info on the Australian boats ?

I still have mine, vintage 1976. A friend just bought the only other one I know of in town, 1971 I think.
Hello All, earlier today I picked up a 1971 Ob, it has a 2002 125hp Mercury. Prior owner installed a new fuel tank (but decommissioned and left the old one in floor) in the bow. I hope to get it in the water soon for a ride.
Looks like it's in great shape . Maybe even garage kept ? Very nice .
Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !
Thanks Morgan’s Cloud, yeah, not bad, the seller had the stripe and topside painted recently. Looking forward to running it!
In the case of the OB 16s outboards (at least back then) were all clockwise rotation props , hence the driver's station on the stbd side.

When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
When the waves are high and the light is dying,
well raise a glass and think of me...
When I'm home again,
boys, I'll be buying!

oops , mine was sort of a broad sweep generic kind of answer (from a sort of generic kind of person)
In retrospect I think I have seen that photo somewhere around here of the L/H drive OB baby .
