The entry-level boating industry hasnt seen any real innovation in the last 25 years. Combine that with the average price of an outboard boat rising 48% since 2001 and its no wonder the first time buyer is feeling neglected. We set our sights on developing a new entry-level boat for the masses. Leveraging decades of marine product design experience, designers and engineers developed the vt-16. Easy to use, easy to maintain, reliable – and most of all – affordable! The VT-16 utilizes a Briggs & Stratton 26HP air-cooled engine. A reliable power source with over 12,000 service dealers nationwide.

The engine is coupled to POWER-VENT, a patented propulsion system which takes advantage of an efficient surface piercing propeller. A centrifugal clutch installed between the engine and gearcase allows you to Slow Troll down to 1/2 mph! It also eliminates the typical clunk when putting the drive into gear. Finally, they positioned the engine in-board giving the user a fishable transom. No engine obstacle = more premium fishing space!
