Lund 16 Rebel

Across 30 listings we have observed (model years 1988–2005), the median asking price is $5,000, with most boats asking $3,000 to $6,500. The engine we see most often on this model is Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy) and Honda 4-stroke outboard.
BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 30 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
30 priced listings across 10 states. Enough for a range, not enough to be precise about any single year.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (101 raw listings collapsed to 30 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 1988–2005, 10 states, 16 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
10 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

| 1988 | 4 | $4,500 – $5,500 | $5,500 |
Asking prices from active listings we observed, not sold prices. No public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices; anyone showing you "sold" data for this market is estimating it. Years with fewer than 3 priced listings show the count only.
Method: Median and quartiles per model year, computed only where at least 3 priced listings exist for that year.

Engines we actually see on the 16 Rebel
- Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy)
Pre-DI carbureted 2-strokes (and Evinrude/Johnson, now an orphaned brand for parts/service). Simple and cheap to buy, but thirsty, smoky, and a resale anchor. An older 2-stroke is the single biggest reason a hull sits unsold.
Service reality: Compression-test every cylinder; expect carb work. On any Evinrude/Johnson, confirm local parts and service availability before buying.
Full Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy) reliability profile →
- Honda 4-stroke outboard
Among the most reliable outboards made — automotive-grade Honda 4-stroke engineering. Heavier than rivals and a smaller marine dealer network, but mechanically a top-tier, long-life choice.
Service reality: Timing-belt models: verify replacement interval was honored. 100-hour service; confirm dealer access for the buyer's region.
- Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400)
Modern Mercury V8/V10 FourStroke and supercharged Verado are strong, smooth, and well-supported, a clear step up from the OptiMax era. Slightly behind Yamaha on resale trust but closing fast, and often better integrated (joystick, digital throttle).
Service reality: 100-hour service; supercharged Verado adds the supercharger oil interval. Check for corroded battery cables and the SmartCraft harness on saltwater boats.

What to inspect on a used Lund 16 Rebel
- Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy): Compression-test every cylinder; expect carb work. On any Evinrude/Johnson, confirm local parts and service availability before buying. Seen on 3 of the 30 16 Rebel listings we track.
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 100 hours a year is heavy use for a Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Carbureted 2-stroke outboard (legacy).

- Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400): 100-hour service; supercharged Verado adds the supercharger oil interval. Check for corroded battery cables and the SmartCraft harness on saltwater boats. Seen on 1 of the 30 16 Rebel listings we track.
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 150 hours a year is heavy use for a Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400).
- On the older hulls, core moisture is the deal-breaker: sound the transom and the deck with a plastic mallet, and treat any soft or dull-sounding area as a survey-stopper rather than a bargaining chip. We observe listings back to 1988, so boats over 38 years old are actively traded in this model.
This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 16 Rebel listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a 16 Rebel costs to own
$1,500 – $4,000 per year
- 16 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Freshwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (MN)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
