    Newbie..looking for info on 1996 Sweet 16

    Recently purchased this 1996 Sweet 16 and looking to see if anyone knows this boat. I purchased it out of Georgia, but it originally came out of Florida. The older couple I bought it from couldn't tell me anymore than what I could already see. Chevy 350 V8, Holley 4 barrel carb, etc....I would like to know who built the motor and exactly what it is. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

    I am pretty sure that is Crackerjacks old boat

    originally a V6 that they repowered themselves

    good people, I would say you got a good boat if it is their old boat

    Thumbs up Glad to Help !

    I hope you were able to contact the former owners by email~
    Or better yet~~~ were able to set-up a time for a phone call to ask questions about your new boat ?

    Bet of luck with your new Donzi !

    Just my .02, which in this economy, is only worth .01, and actually is less than that since my original .02 isn't really worth .02.

    Sold it to the owner of a Dodge Dealership in March of this year. Looked like the next owners didn't get it very wet. I'll get in contact with you.

    I have seen this boat. Very nice. I bought an X-18 hull and parts from Cracker Jack. It was all that it was supposed to be.
