Just like the title says....I wish I could post the kijiji link to it here. Does anyone in the board have any info/experience with these little guys?

Please view this ad:

I don't know much about that boat in particular but Scorpion were never the best build quality so look really close for rot and I know the other cut down version of the 21 they built didn't work very well. If I was looking in that size range I'd be after a 16 DL myself.

I've been looking for a 16DL all summer Dok. I've had ZERO luck finding one. That's the boat I really want. I may have to settle for a 18DL, but I'd much rather have the little brother.

I had an 1989 with a 140 Johnson. Nice cottage ski boat but it was definitely not a well made boat, had to do floor, transom, and stringers. All I can say is look it over good!

They seem to come up for sale in bunches...then nothing. The 18 is a great boat but it depends on how much space you have lol.

I have space for an 18DL, but a 16DL would be much easier where I want to use it. There was one on kijiji in the spring, but I didn't have my shit together and it disappeared on me. Lol

other than garage space, was there any advantage to the 16DL over the 18?

Well the good Doktor has had both, so I'm sure he can shed some light on the similarities and differences.

LittleCharger ran a 16 DL for many years. He can likely share anything you want to know about them.
