Is the 16 Action quite a bit smaller: beam and length than the 17 and 18? Or is it a shortened 17?

...the 16 came first. then barney sr. retooled it into the 17. 17 can be identified by a pointier front than a 16. 16 has a more blunt nose, just like the hydrostream ventura 1, that barney copied it from. the 16 is a more narrow boat than the 17. when barney retooled the 16 into the 17, he also widened the boat slightly. then he retooled it again, into the original 18. then the 19 & 20. the 16 was excellent for the shortshaft inline sixes of the day & ran great. a v-6 on a 16 is a bit much, because the boat was the smallest, narrowest, lightest action, with a lot of lift, which the inlines were able to take advantage of. i believe the kilo speed record for a 16 with a regular gearcase shortshaft inline was about 80 m.p.h. back then...
