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...

I found what I thought was / is the perfect boat for me to do next. I was wanting a 1648 with a modified v.... and I found it. Problem is this, I looked under the boat and.... wow. It looked like it had been siliconed or caulked to death. Every place there was a rivet on the bottom, all along...

I'm wiring my boat and a guy from my church who is more knowledgeable about this than me suggested grounding my battery to the boat, that way I can just run wires to the aluminum of the boat instead of having a closed (?) circuit going back to the battery. Is there anything wrong with doing...

I've got my boat on the sawhorses right now, which means my trailer is free. I've been cleaning it off getting ready to paint it, and I was planning on using my left over marine paint on it. I figured its good paint, and it will match the boat. What do you think? Bad idea? Good idea? Pros and Cons?

I want my pedestals to be sturdy, and I know the washers and bolts are the best method, but I can't reach down there to do that, what's my best option next? I'm not heavy (175lbs) but my dad.... um.... is.... heavier (260-270) and I want it to be strong enough for him, so what should I do? I...

I've heard guys talk about them rotting and such, how can I tell if mine's bad? It seems ok, but it does look old. At this point, its probably not a big deal since I'm just running a Trolling motor on it, but I'm looking for an outboard.... so... how can I tell for sure. Here's what mine looks like

Could you show me how you did your carpetting on the insides of your storage and hatches (especially the LIDS!)? I'd just like to see exactly how it looks and you did it. Thanks!

I'm wondering how to do the hinges on my boat for storage, can you show pics of how you did yours??

Where do I get it and how much?

I'm very interested about some of the cool switch panels I've seen on some of the boats here, but no one I've seen tells where they got their's from or how much they were. So please, tell me where you got yours, if you like it, or any suggestions for where I can get a good one, however, I am...

Do you carpet just the top of your hatches, or did you carpet the sides too, Pro's? Con's? Also, it looks like most people I've seen carpet, then put their hinges on top of the carpet, do you just drill through the carpet?? How does that work exactly?

I found what I thought was a veerryyy slow leak. Thankfully, its not the bottom of the boat, but where the bolts for the transom are. I noticed every time water splashes those spots that there are bolts, I can see a little water trickle down. How do I fix it? Thanks!

I'm following pretty closely to what member PBW did with his, and when I'm done its gonna be quite a catfish and crappie rig. (of course I fish for bass too!) Anyhow, here's what it looked like when it started! And this is what it looks like finished (minus the lettering which can be seen on...
