Very nice! I have 2 friends with that exact boat (side console and all). One has a 2 stroke 60 and the other has a 2 stroke "100" (Hydro Tec kit on a 75-90hp). I think you'll want a little more power than that 40, but maybe not. Also a jackplate would be nice to idle around shallow areas, but this boat definitely isn't a "technical" skiff. Even though it's not the shallowest out there, she's still pretty good and extremely versatile.
I actually think I've recommended this boat more often than any other boat out there. Putting 16k total into it might be a little high if you're thinking about resale, but you may end up keeping it a while and the cost may be worth it to you. Or like you said, you may be able to sell some add-ons separately. You will usually take a hit doing that, though.
