I don’t think popping out of the water will be an issue on a 16 foot boat, is my point. I had an 18.5 foot Lund a few years ago with a 60” Terrova and I can’t think of a single time it popped out of the water.

If you can line up a 72 inch so it doesn’t hang over the gunnel or stick inside the bow area on the boat, then it makes sense.
