I just recently purchased a 1996 Seaswirl 208 Bowrider. Overall the boat is in good condition it just needs a good scrubbing on the outside and some TLC on the interior. The problem I am having is that I can't find any good pictures online of this boat in a restored condition (mainly the interior) so I can see what it is supposed to look like (would like to have a stock look when complete). My main area of interest is the section that goes over the engine compartment in the back. I could just recover it but I'm pretty sure that originally there was a larger piece covering the back part of the boat.

I looked through the forum and haven't found anything on this. Did I miss it, or do you guys have some others suggestions of where I might look?

Thanks!

So seeing as how its been almost a year since I posted here, I thought I would give an update in case someone else happens to have questions about this boat.

My initial question about the rear section of the boat was answered with some more digging on Google images (surprise I know :facepalm:)

This is what the interior is supposed to look like!

However, my original post only detailed part of the problem. The other main issue is the windshield, or lack thereof. I was missing the driver side curved glass section and having no luck finding a replacement. I have since then decided to go a different route and moved from resotration back to factory condition, to custom resoration.

We'll see how it goes. I update with more pictures when I have time.
