    Aluminum angle or wood to support raised deck

    I'm about to undertake my front raised deck project on my 542 War Eagle this week. I have a plan of what I'd like to do which involves a 1/2" plywood deck that sits under the seat track on the front bench seat and spans the area from the bench to the bow. Because of the way the boat is...

    Replacing transom wood on 1992 Polar Kraft 1436

    JUST picked this up today for my dad and the transom is rotten. How do you go about replacing the wood where it's wedged in under a top cap and side braces (see red arrows)? Inserted photo to show as best as I can, will get better photo later.

    Need help/ideas for front deck on older War Eagle

    Attaching (or not) front and rear deck to boat

    I keep looking at threads where people have made great decks for the front and rear portions of their boats but I'd like to know how best to go about attaching these decks to the boat itself.

    Fuel line length: how long is too long?

    Would like to move my 6 gal tank to the front footwell of my 12ft Monark. This would require a new longer fuel line and reading the posts on here I need to replace my Attwood line asap before it starts breaking down! My question is: would there be a fuel delivery issue with the length being...

    Capacity differences between boats

    Apologies if this has been covered already (I did search for it): Why is there such a difference in capacities between similar boat models? For example, I have a 2000 Monark 1232 that is rated for "2 people or 250 lbs" (don't know anyone that weighs 125 lbs other than a kid) but a brand new...

    hull ID etching question

    Just got a title on my grandad's old jon boat and SC requires a hull ID number to be placed on the starboard transom and inside the boat. What would be the best way to go about affixing a number? Dremel tool? Make a badge and rivet it on? Has anyone had to do this before? Pic of the giant...
