I've got a 16.5 Wooldridge X-tra Plus with a 115 Merc with a pump. I love this boat, tho I'd like a little more power. And with the 4 stroke you'll be pushing a little more weight. Mine will do about 33 mph downstream wide open, which is good enough for most people, but doesn't satisfy my need for speed (and it drinks gas at full throttle).

I would highly recommend suspension seats for this boat if you plan to use it in anything rougher than glass. A sled this small can really beat the poop outta ya in a little chop.

I don't think there's a better made boat than a Wooldridge and have never heard a professional welder or weld inspector who wasn't duly impressed.

OK, I'll shut up now.
