1st Project. Monarch 14' Jon

starzstuff · Jul 19, 2014

Good morning.

Bought a 14ft monarch with trailer for $200. I have been reading all your posts and getting ideas on what to do with it. Thanks for posting such great ideas.

I have started. Any tips or ideas to help me along will be much appreciated.

Primer and paint from Lowes. Thought I would give it a black base and green over the top. I might camo it but not sure yet.

Bass Fishing on Lake Norman, Charlotte NC is my chosen spot.

starzstuff · Jul 20, 2014

I kayak fish here on the lake. I think I have the only trolling motor powered kayak on the lake

Got the rear deck and front deck cut and positioned today.

love your boat

starzstuff · Jul 20, 2014

Thanks Action. This is my first project and I am already hooked.

Anyone got any suggestions on what to do on the sides at the back. I am also undecided where to put the front seat. On the front bench or between the hatches?

Carpets going in

starzstuff · Jul 31, 2014

Front hatches done !

youre getting some hellacious deals on your boat! love to see it

starzstuff · Aug 2, 2014

I have been very lucky with this boat. Right place right time I guess.

Question. Could this boat get too top heavy?

typed by ben · Aug 2, 2014

could it GET that way? sure, but think of all the low weight like a trolling motor battery and fuel tank. that stuff sits at the lowest point possible.

starzstuff · Aug 9, 2014

Heres an update for the boat.

Front and back decks done and the bow almost there.

starzstuff · Sep 29, 2014

So heres the good news. I got the motor started with minimal effort. Not bad for a motor that hadn't been started in over 5 years. Good old Johnson reliability.

Finished the deck and added some more carpet.

Update!

Been out a few times in the fall and I forgot to post the images. So it works well, isnt too tippy and generally I am pleased. We found a couple of pinholes in the transom which I had to weld but other than that its awesome

Next I need a fish finder and electronics.
