1971 Monark 14' 48" project 100% complete and ready to fish. Thanks again for the good help I received from the Tin Boat family!

A few action pics from last summer. Me Best fishing buddy, of course, that = best buddy :) 90-year-old Father In Law Grandson and future boat owner

A few pics to show detail. My wife recreated the Monark factory decal for boat and did the custom Evinrude decals for cowling. I have to say those are two of my favorite elements. Also, you can see the rocker switches on electronics panel. Rocker switches control; deck lights, hatch lights...

Sorry I don't have pics of cutting holes for and installing hatches, applying deck covering and lots of detail work but here is finished boat. Will add some up close pics to show more detail below.

A few pics of the aluminum frames and wiring details under it all. You can see simple two speakers for radio and it is a two battery system with Genius charger. Also bilge pump and battery switch.

Thanks, I will track some down.

I also plan to add foam under storage. Will need to strap it down....I hear it's not much good to have your foam floating : )

This is my foam solution cut to fit between ribs obviously below decking. Thoughts?

And a few mocked up. Any suggestions or red flags? Next steps Firm up placement especially front deck. Drill and secure. Cut hatch openings. Take apart and treat wood. Prep -Paint paint paint And lots of little things I'm still sorting out.
