Your recollections are correct: the 16 hull can be very uncomfortable at speed in heavy seas. The 17 hull is just as bad but less wet because of the smirked hull. You may be able to buy a 16 hull for less than a 17, but you will have more annual maintenance if it has mahogany wood. My suggestion is try to find a 1986-1991 Montauk. They are well made Rockland, MA boats.
