Hello All! I have been visiting this site quite often over the past few weeks as I get ready to spruce up a 14 foot monark that was given to me by my grandmother. This site is such a fantastic resource. I have quite a hectic schedule so it will take a little while for me to complete the project. My first dilemna is getting the boat registered. It has never been registered and my grandmother lost all paperwork showing that she owns it thanks to a hurricane. I would like to find out its age, if anyone is familiar with monarks I would appreciate any help you may be able to offer in finding this boats age. I have posted some pics of the boat and then it stripped down to the aluminum. This took a good 7 hours with help from a friend. We took turns using a Milwaukee sander with a wire brush attachment. I ordered some steelflex for the bottom and will use a 4 inch roller to apply. I will then use spray cans of etch primer for the rest of the boat before going with I am not sure what kind of spray paint. I am thinking of just decking the floor of the boat because of the boats width and turning the bench seats into storage. I will gladly accept any suggestions being as I am new at this kind of thing. Like I said though, for now posts will be few and far in between.
