    I still have mine, vintage 1976. A friend just bought the only other one I know of in town, 1971 I think.

    28 years, I think, maybe 27, but could be 29. I think I have early signs of CRS!

    Hello new 16' Outboard owner

    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 .

    Very cool boat, how comes the steering wheel is a the right side? How many 16s are sold with RH drive or is it done on customers request? Does anybody know?

    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.

    not all the first one was LH hull 452 1967 well before the Baby outboard production run but yes due to the egg beater rotation the helm and lounge seat was moved so it was another deck mold

    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 .
