Aluminum Utility Boat 16 ft
Free delivery within the United States. Standard delivery is free on every US order. Free 30-day returns on stock items — we arrange collection at our cost. 1-year comprehensive and 5-year structural warranty. Delivery details · Returns · Warranty
The largest boat in our lineup: a 16 ft V-hull aluminum utility boat built from 5052 marine-grade aluminum with riveted frame construction and a 2 mm hull plate. The extra length and beam make it the pick for larger lakes and rivers — it handles chop better and carries more people and gear than the smaller hulls, while staying shallow enough to reach water fiberglass boats cannot.

Construction
Hull and structure
- 5052 marine-grade aluminum — the alloy used for hull plate because it tolerates salt water and repeated flexing
- 2 mm hull plate, riveted frame, reinforced transom for outboard mounting
- Foam-filled buoyancy compartments
Deck and storage
- Anti-slip decking and bench seating
- Sealed storage hatch
Fittings
- Stainless steel bow eye and carry handles
What's included
- The complete hull with bench seating, anti-slip decking, sealed storage hatch, foam flotation and stainless bow eye
- Registration paperwork — the documentation your state agency requires
- Free standard delivery within the US, 30-day returns, 1-year comprehensive and 5-year structural limited warranty
Not included: outboard motor and trailer, sold separately. This hull belongs on our tandem-axle aluminum boat trailer.
Choosing a motor
Prices are for the hull; like nearly every boat maker, we do not include the outboard. Size the motor to the maximum horsepower on the capacity plate — never above it — and match the shaft length to the transom height. Our outboard guide walks through the decision, or tell us how you will use the boat and we will recommend a range.
Warranty
Every stock boat carries a 1-year limited comprehensive warranty on fittings, decking, seating and hatches, and a 5-year limited structural warranty on the hull plating, frame and transom, from the date of delivery. Read the full warranty.
Delivery and registration
Ships free by scheduled freight anywhere in the US; we confirm your delivery window in writing when you order. Inspect before you sign — our delivery guide shows exactly what to check. You register the boat in your state and we supply the paperwork; the registration guide explains the steps.

Choosing between them
Beam matters as much as length — the same length at a wider beam is a noticeably more stable platform, and you feel it the first time two people move at once. The 16 ft hull is the one to pick when you regularly carry passengers and equipment or run bigger water; the smaller hulls are lighter to tow and launch, and the 12 ft boats can skip the trailer entirely. Our sizing guide works through the decision, and we are happy to talk it through directly.
Custom builds
Custom lengths are a normal part of what we do, particularly for commercial and special-project work. Tell us the application and we will quote it. Custom and made-to-order builds fall outside the free returns window, since they cannot be resold — we confirm that in writing before accepting a custom order.
