just went out and took some more pics...hope these look better...

My phone camera setting was set to small pics, I will go out the the parking lot and take some more pics of it here in a little bit.

Ok here are some update pictures. I have all the painting done now. I am amazed how nice the paint turned out, it looks like a brand new boat now. I have had people stopping me to talk to me about the boat. Now I have to mount my seats back on it, and put the wood back for the transom. The...

Yeah I actually live in Kernersville now, right off of Hwy. 66. Let me know we can go one day if you want. Always good to meet new fishing buddies.

I am thinking about painting the inside like a grey. What do you guys think? At first I was going to do a burgundy that way it kind of matches my Explorer that I use to haul the boat. But I am worried about if it will get too hot with that color paint. Also Baptistpreach already used my...

Thanks a lot guys! I am really excited about how it is looking so far. I just flipped it over the other day and put it back on the trailer. Now I am going to start working on the inside. I am going to put storage in the front and back, not as much for a casting deck but just for storage...

just wired the trailer last night...all lighting and wiring on it is brand new. I still have to change out the rollers and change the old fabric. Put on all new bolts and nuts...looks great!!!

Thank you Jim. I didn't know how it was going to go, but it is going great. I am going to go to Tractor Supply tomorrow and get all new bolts for the trailer and mount all the hardware back on it. I am putting new lights and completely new wiring on the trailer. I will also completely...

I just started working on my boat last week...have about three days into...looking pretty good if I do say so myself....

took the boat out today with me and one of my good friends on it. It did really well, a lot more stable then I thought it would be. Actually more stable with the two of us in it. I am 280lbs. and he is around 215lbs....did great! I took ober51's advice and stood on the top of the benches to...

Ober what do you think of me building a deck from the front of the rear bench to the back of the boat and from the back of the front bench to the front of the boat. I am thinking of ways to add storade without making it too unstable. I am not going to deck any higher then the benches. Do you...

that sounds like a great idea, I will take it out this weekend and try it out I think. Thanks for the idea

oh ok i didn't pay attention to that thanks for bringing it to my attention, maybe I will follow his design then. Do you think it will greatly effect the stability of the boat?

This is the link for his video, nice looking boat! The only thing i will do different is just build a tiny deck in the front and leave the front seat where the person seating in the front could still fish facing forward...... https://video.yahoo.com/watch/1906349/6316585

Hi, I just looked at your video and fell in love with your boat!!! I just bought a '75 1436 monark jon boat. I am planning on laying out my front deck the same way that you did. What size is your boat? Is it stable even with the higher front casting deck? Also, did the wood framing add a...
