I recently was lucky enough to get a 1960 16' I/O Drive Hydrodyne for FREE. The boat is in very good shape. It has a 4 cyl Volvo Penta with Twin Carbs. My question is does anybody have any kind of info about this boat. What kind of HP is this motor rated at? Where is a good source for replacement parts? I want to go over the entire motor and electrical system before I get this thing out on the water. The floor and hull all seem to be in great shape. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there, I am restoring a '64 1700. Lots of pictures of her dissassembled. Mine has a 1.8 ltr volvo rated at 100 hp. My grandfather had a '63 1600 with an 80 hp 1.6 ltr volvo. There should be a tag on your lower port side of your block with an AQ100/??? or a number like BB70. That tag should have the clue. Send pictures of your boat!
