These models range in size from 15’ 9” to 24’. All of the styles have spacious deck areas and numerous storage compartments. The cockpit is self-bailing and a removable tube makes for easy maintenance and servicing. The Medline I enables the passengers to fold down the seats and make a complete sundeck. The Medline II has a larger fuel tank for longer excursions. Both models come with a bathing ladder and the Medline II comes with a platform as well.
