1988 Valco Bayrunner BR-16 Open

This 1988 Valco Bayrunner BR-16 is an aluminum open runabout built for the Pacific Northwest. The design features a high-rake bow and sharp forward entry engineered to cut through chop and deliver a drier, more comfortable ride than typical boats in its class. At 16 feet with a 6.4-foot beam, the lightweight aluminum hull balances strength with easy handling, and the boat draws minimal water for exploring inland waterways and inshore coastal areas.

Power comes from twin Nissan (Tohatsu) outboards of 58 horsepower each, delivering a cruising speed of 22 knots with a top speed of 28 knots. The engines run smoothly and have been well maintained. The electrical system has been rewired throughout with new marine-grade wiring.

The open layout provides unobstructed fishing and recreational space. Modern electronics are installed. The boat is paired with a Karavan #1800 trailer featuring a breakaway tongue, making loading and unloading manageable for a single operator. Both boat and trailer are included.

The boat has been garage stored when not in use and maintained carefully throughout its ownership. It comes rigged and ready to use immediately.
