Well, I saw this boat in a guys yard and I'm just about done modding my 1436 Monark, so I thought, I'll just pull in and take a look. Anyhow, I ended up getting the boat with everything you see here for $375. After paying all the late fees for getting it current on registration and transferring the title in my name, I'm at $450. I don't think its too bad! I have promised my wife I won't be spending a lot of time on it since I've spent so much on finishing my Monark, so for now, I just wanted to show you. I thought it was a 1648 MV (which was what I was hoping to save up and get in a few years), but when I measured the bow to transom it was 17 feet! Also, I'm not sure if the floor is 4 ft wide (48in) or if its 52 since I've got to take out those side panels to measure exactly, as it sits now, it was about 48 in (just under by an inch or so) across the floor. Anyhow, enjoy! It needs a LOT of work. I'm going to learn how to use a rivet gun (I'm gonna have to!) I hope to clear it out and check the boat for any leaks as of now, then I'll take all the goop off the bottom and check for leaks again! Also, any help on this, he said the motor runs (but I just don't believe it until I hear it), but he lost the key! Can I order a new one from a marina? I'm also gonna put a battery in and test the T&T and the TM. Anyhow, here it is without further ado.
