Bought a monark 1648 and a tilt shoreline trailer. Here are a few pics of boat. (Boat is on my flatbed trailer as I am in the middle of rehabbing boat trailer)

I built my transom out of 3/4" b c exterior rated plywood. Glued 2 sheets together and cut to size. Finished all areas and edges with marine spar.

I bent 2 pieces of angle for the sides of the boat to tie into the transom. Now this phase of the boat overhaul is complete:grin:

Picked up a 1998 25 horse mercury 2 stroke. Rebuilt carb new water pump, fuel pump and a full tune up. Hopefully she runs as good on the boat as it did in the tank.

I have the toungue off the trailer at this point. Took the winch bracket off as I will use it for the new toungue. I have a 3" by 4" by 10' piece of tube steel on the way. To replace it. The old toungue was only 8' so this will allow me to move the boat forward a little so the transom boards will be roughly 1" past the transom.

The winch bracket is now prepped and primed. Paint will follow tomorrow and then I will mount the new winch

I put a coat of paint on winch bracket. Its not going to be a fast project working a lot of hours. I am waiting on my replacement tube for the toungue to come in and then the trailer overhaul will continue. Boat hopefully will be painted by end of week.

My boat is painted and drying as we speak! Going to be cutting vynil lettering and installing later today pics to follow this evening. I am contemplating using a product called deck restore on the decking. Anyone had experience with this product on boats? I used it on wood decks off of homes and it works well for that.

Thanks guys. Working 60 - 70 hours a week is going to make progress a little slow but I am going to get it done ASAP

Are you working 60 - 70 a week at your job or on your boat?? :LOL2: Looks like you are making great progress!
