Pics of my boat

Post by robbankston »

Thought I'd share pics of my boat since others have. I picked this beauty :D up for 500 bucks last year from a croatian guy who didn't have a clue as to what he had. Plus he was scared of it. Worked out good for me. I put a couple of hundred bucks and some elbow grease in it and it runs and rides like a champ. 72 Monark and 76 Johnson.

I used to have an aluminum Mon Ark with stick steer. I didn't even realize they ever made a fiberglass boat.
Sweet deal!

Apparently they didn't make a lot of them because an internet search on the make turns up nada. Anyway looking forward to seeing how she does on the flats. I have been able to test it out on some rough water on Lake Lanier so I know her hull is solid. And the engine mechanic is top knotch too so the old Johnson is dependable. :lol: :beer:

Nice rig. Those old John sons are bullet proof. Crowe Marine when they were in West End use to see Monark. I do remember the fiberglass boats.

MonArk Boats became SeaArk Boat company.
They build a really tough boat.
