I bought an '87 Medalist 16' inboard 4 cylinder that had been treated very badly. Both back seats, the bases they sat on, and engine cover (base and hinged cover) are gone. I need photos of the whole rear setup, so I can see how the rear seat supports are built, how the top and bottom halves of the engine cover are built, and so on. Trying to put it all back as close to original as possible.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jason

IMG00473.jpgHey bmw, we have the Medalist 1600 (outboard engine). I've posted a few pics for you to look at and hope it helps your restoration project. I just started to tear oout the floor in ours today because of the soft (and cracking) floors.

Nice boat. And thanks for the pics. Yours is much in better shape than what I bought. All the flooring was rotten, and the stringers had turned into a mushy substance that once passed as wood. I even found a few termites living in the recesses under the flooring. The previous owner had done a partial floor replacement, and used wafer board, then left it outside in the rain uncovered. You can probably imagine how that turned out. But I got it cheap, and it's been fun for my five year old son to help Dad with the project. Hopefully we'll be on the water in a month or so.

Out of curiosity, who so set on restoring close to original? Project boat that old you might as well just build it up however you like, IMO.
