Go check out a Tuffy Esox Magnum boat. They are great musky boats that get you close to the water. Tons of space in those things. Launching and loading would be a breeze and they would be almost ideal for the size lakes you are looking at.

Back in the day, Lakeland made boats similar to them, they are great as well.

There are usually a couple of Tuffy's like that on the boat ads on this site. I think you would like them. They sit lower in the water, are usually heavier and wind doesn't push them around much at all compared to aluminum boats that sit higher in the water.

And yah, I would think that a 25 horse would be underpowered on a 16 foot boat. I had a 30 horse on an old Tuffy Rampage (17 footer) and while she would plane out, it took a while. Upgraded to a 50 horse. Then life was much better.
