If you have a 25hp restriction on enough lakes that still makes it worth grossly under powering a 16 foot hull, then I would go with the 25. If you go with a smaller prop, it will do fine, it just won't be a speed demon, but it will get you around just fine. I might suggest be careful how much you get tied up in it, because of the fact it will be so underpowered, it will make a huge depreciation the day you sign the paper work, because it will be very hard to get rid of when you decide to upgrade. After all, I have a 25 Merc I use on my Lowe 1436 that only weighs about 150 pounds.
