Tahoe T16 10 Hour Review Pro and Cons
Last week my wife Monique and I purchased a Tahoe T16 from a local dealer. We spent last week/ weekend breaking in the motor. The more we time we spend on the T16 the more we love it.
Thank you for watching

Kendall we did the same thing we did some research went and look at the packages and fell in love. It is not a fishing boat, so it’s a little hard to get set up! But it works. The front two coolers hold ice so far on the hottest of days, and the radio is gets very loud,the Bluetooth is easy to set up.
Ty for this review! Helped me in making my choice

Good evening Weldr, thank you very much! We would recommend it, it’s been a great purchase so far!!
Congrats! We also just purchased this boat and have only had one trip in it so far. I agree that the cleats are a bit small. We ordered the stainless steel cup holders with drains that really upgrade the look on the boat and were not expensive. Also, I'm looking at some nice decking. We have the smaller motor but it goes fast enough. I would have liked the 75 but it would have driven the price up as the boat was "as is" for the sale. We took it down Mullock Creek and into the back bay behind Fort Myers Beach, in Fort Myers, FL. It handles like a dream, turned well, and everything worked great! Very comfortable. We also got a great deal on a Garmin Echomap chart plotter and will be installing it soon! We just love this little boat. It was actually a downgrade from an old 18.5 center console "Answer" boat and the T16 handles just as well. Very easy to trailer and to launch on the boat ramp. I hope you're enjoying yours. Stay safe and have fun! Great demo video! 😊

Good afternoon Carolinerothenberg, we didn’t even think about getting different cup holders thank you! Growing up on Long Island NY we were always on the sound and ocean! I was never on a lake with a boat, I will not lie we love it for us it’s perfect for all the reasons you mentioned! I’m happy to hear that it handles well on in the bay/ocean! Please this upcoming season let me know how it’s does I am curious and we even considered going to the Outer Banks with ours. Thank you Carolinerothenberg for taking the time out of your day to watch and provide your review. Joe
Took mine 10 miles offshore and it was amazing took/ handled it amazingly love my t16

It’s a great comfortable little boat! I do not believe you will regret getting one. Chris thank you so much for taking time out of your day to not only watch but to comment! Joe

Good morning MustyJonesy , First congratulations you will love it!! Go slow take your time it will get easier the more you do it. Make sure you have the drain plug in and you will have no issues. Personally I was the same way I went to the lake during the week when it was slow and just practiced a few times backing the trailer down and unhooking the boat and hooking back up.. I do apologies for the late response, but thank you so much for not only taking the time out of your day to watch but to comment as well Good luck with your new boat and stay safe. Joe
Nice video- I use the T16/75 as a ski boat and it's fabulous. Soft wake, pulls a 200lbs skier on one ski out of deep water. yet no videos on the ultra fun, affordable little boat .

Good afternoon Pedrot1152 our biggest regret was not getting the T18 or T21! That 2+ foot extra will make a huge difference. We are only a family of 3 but if we wanted to take out a few friends we are limited. Don’t get me wrong we LOVE our boat but we will know for next time!

Worst thing you can do is underpower a boat. I see these things being packaged with 50's and 60's and I cringe. The T16 weighs 1250 pounds! I had a 16 foot bowrider that weighed 900 pounds and was rated for 80hp but came with a used 60hp Johnson. After 5 years I had issues with the motor so I upgraded to a new 90hp Merc 2 stroke and the boat flew. Even with a bunch of people onboard. Like a completely different boat. @@joesoutdoorexperience

We're about 5 inches away from purchasing one of these. Credit app is filled out. The one question left remaining is how this boat is on the ocean. I live on a chain of lakes in central FL and the plan is to have a dock in my backyard, hop on the boat and drive it to the Gulf of Mexico and then down the FL coast to wherever, but just want to know this boat is as good on the ocean as on a lake. Anyone have ocean experience on this boat?

Good evening Jose it does very well on fuel, we have only been running non ethanal in it. Monique and I will go out for a few hours at 3500-3800rmp around 25-30mph and we can get about 3 trips out of a tank. I will be going out this Friday 28th I can find out about how many hours to a tank if you would like more info?

@joesoutdoorexperience that would be good I am about to buy one this week and want to see how long it last me. Also I be using it in the ocean. Want to know my distance for sure. One bad thing I hear is that it doesn't have interior foam, so it sinks pretty fast. Not sure about that, but I'm curious. What you think?
@joesoutdoorexperience

We use ours in a lake, if we were to go into the ocean I would only trust it in a bay, gulf ,or harbor. The front seems to sit low but you can balance that with the trim. LOL I don't know too much about them sinking not something I would like to find out haha!
What was your down payment and monthly payments?
@joesoutdoorexperience

Good morning Kenneth hope all is well. One of the dealer programs if your credit score was over either 725 or 750 I cannot remember there was no down payment. We paid $1200 for tax, title , boat and trailer registration, DMV fees for the trailer, custom registration stickers. Our monthly payment is $305 and that is with the extended warranty option they offer. Our boater insurance is $300 for the year. And roughly $50 to fill up from empty 13 gallons of non-ethanol

Hi Hollywoodeatsordrinksit, first im sure you will love it! As per the motors not sure on the Tahoe how similar they will be. From my personal experience with an inboard on my parents 28’ bayliner. The outboard is so much easier to dock, and I have docked other outboards ranching from our little T16 to other 20-26’ center consoles. Thank you so much hollywoodeatsordrinksit for not only taking time out of your evening to watch but comment as well. Joe
