even at 16' , 35 hp isn't much...that boat doesn't look light....I would still check deck and transom for weakness...that boat is almost 40 yrs old....many years of stress on the transom...the port side trailer wheel looks odd for that trailer, why is the spare larger than the one on the axle ?..... I would look over the ENTIRE package REALLY close before spending a penny on it... $1,000.00 can buy you a much younger boat-motor-trailer package....don't be hasty ...good deals are out there....
