At ebay 130563974161 there is a 2007, 16’ Cruiser with a 20 HP motor.

The 20 sure seems small for this boat.

Comments?

The "Standard" power of a C-D 16 is a 40 or 50 hp engine.

20 hp wouldn't plane the boat, and you'd be limited to about 8 mph.

I agree with Sea Wolf. Having operated a CD 16 Cruiser with a 40 HP engine for over three years, I don't think 20 HP would plane the boat either. My sense is that 40HP is the minimum motor you want on a CD 16 cruiser. Please remember that unlike the CD 16 Angler, the weight on the cruiser is shifted toward the stern. A couple of year's ago, I had two people sitting in chairs in the cockpit with me at the helm, and I could not get the boat on plane with a 40 HP engine without asking them to move into the cabin.
 
If you don't want to plane the boat--then an 8 hp high thrust motor is a better option than the 20 hp. It will have a larger prop and better "pushing power" at displacement speeds.
 
Here it is again, with an adjustment on the high end price, see ebay #130580908845.
