    SeaArk 1872 CC - One of a kind

    Major upgrades and a total refit done to this boat in 2013. SeaArk Marine themselves have photos and I quote the folks at SeaArk "You've done an incredible job and you have a one of a kind SeaArk". New everything from paint to engine. Engine is a 2011 115 and under warranty from Evinrude...

    Possibble project: Alumacraft AW Tunnel 1756SC

    I've been scouting around for a "project boat" to turn into a float SKINNY flats boat. My SeaArk does pretty well but it does not have a tunnel so I am pretty limited. We pretty much just chase Speckled Trout and Redfish inshore. These fish get up into the really shallow areas when the tide...

    Seats: Most comfortable ?

    Starting to look around for seats for my SeaArk 1872 remodel. I've always liked the Tempress Navistyle Highback Seats. About $150 each shipped. Not cheap, but comfortable. Before I drop the dime, any other suggestions. Prefer high back style and comfortable. Comfort over price for me and good...

    Seat Base - Spring vs NO Spring

    About to order 2 seat mounts. They have WITH springs and WITHOUT springs. I've never used them with springs. What's the big benefit of a spring on the seat mount ?

    JMS Online dot NEt

    Just an FYI for anyone interested, I was shopping for a few things for the boat and found https://www.jmsonline.net/ - These folks were easily 25% less than anywhere else on some misc hardware and seat components. I ordered from them on Wednesday afternoon (they are in Houston, TX) and I'm in...

    Trolling Motor Brackets

    I've got to have a TM Bracket fabbed up for the SeaArk. If anyone can post up some photos of their style bracket along with some exact bracket measurements, I'd greatly appreciate it. Boat is going in for a pretty good amount of fab work and the TM Bracket is one thing on the list. Thanks BB

    Ribs: Exposed or Unexposed ?

    Going to have fab work done on the Ark. I like the finished look of the covered ribs or unexposed but as others have pointed out, noteably Country Dave it looks bigger but I'm going back and forth. Cost is also a factor to a point. Probably close to $300 to cover them up. How about some input...

    Pulling Engine - Steering removal ?

    Pulling the engine tomorrow and first thing is to pull the steering controls. Pics attached. Never pulled steering on any of the boats I've owned. Any advice on starting point and tips to make it easy? No binding etc., steering is free. Sold the engine and it's going to a new home. Thanks

    It's arrived

    Picked up my new to me 2009 1872 SeaArk after a long trip and back to LA - aka Lower Alabama. Got a deal on it. Sold the engine to a friend which is an 09 Etec 40. Make a long story, the hull and trailer set me back $2200. Linex, paint and an Etec 115 are in the future and some metal fab work...

    Electrical for Dummies 101 - Switches & Wiring

    Ok, I need some guidance and the book store was fresh out of Electrical for Dummies 101 - Switches & Wiring 1st Edition :LOL2: The Ark has a series of switch panels on the console. From what I can tell, there's one toggle switch that's for running accessories i.e. fishfinder/GPS. In the...

    Gunnel Mount Rod Holders

    Who uses gunnel mounted rod holders? Gimme the good, the bad and the UGLY. Once I'm done with the SeaArk, I'm going to keep the bare ribs exposed and then mount the holders to the ribs. I just don't know how wide those ribs are. I need some strong holders for inshore saltwater rods that are...

    Painter Recommendations ? FL/GA

    Anyone recommend a GOOD painter in Florida or maybe GA? Picked a deal up on a SeaArk and I'd like it painted right. I just do not have the time, equipment and skills to paint it properly. Ideally in the FL Panhandle or SW GA but for a GREAT painter, will drive a little more. Thanks

    After looking for probably close to 3 years for a SeaArk and having owned 3 boats during the search, found a 2007 SeaArk 1872 on Craigslist. Been back and forth with the owner numerous times via email with dimensions and photos. Make a long story, yesterday was the first time I stepped on the...

    Lifting Boat/Remove From Trailer - Paint or Linex ?

    Ok, so for those of you with larger and heavier tins, how do you get the boat off the trailer and onto a set of stands etc for maintenance such as painting etc. Before to horribly long, I'll need to take the boat off the trailer to sand/prep and paint the bottom of the hull and then on to the...
