sail bag says Melges, it’s 16, it has smallish dual rudders, it has twin very outside centerboard. The transom has been repaired, perhaps the serial number was taken out by sanding or pop revets removed with the placard.
the UT registration was no help, they don’t have records to 1991-1995, Colorado stickers likewise no help, been in contact with both states.
missing are mast, boom, tillers, sails, and a physic.
i think it is maybe from 1950s—1960s. It was made by other Boat companies, it’s a scow, and should be M16.
i read that the serial number may be on the gunnel, not seen visually without sanding paint off.
any insight would be appreciated .be
