2026 Avid 16 Commander

The 2026 Avid 16 Commander is a rugged aluminum runabout built for fishing and shallow-water work. Its .125″ 5052 aluminum hull uses a modified-V design with lifting strakes to deliver solid performance and maneuverability across varied conditions. The boat is engineered to handle up to a 60 HP Yamaha outboard.

The layout prioritizes function and storage. Rod lockers and storage boxes provide dedicated space for gear, while a marine-grade electrical system supports onboard needs. Integrated step transom pods and a VersaTRAC gunnel system allow for flexible accessory mounting and customization.

Optional equipment includes livewells for bait or catch, and the hull can be finished in camouflage paint. The straightforward, robust construction prioritizes reliability and ease of maintenance for the serious angler or sportsman.
