I started this project last year in August. It's been in the water for a few months now. It turned out pretty well. Learned a lot in the process. Thanks to all of you gents who answered questions, gave advice, and some needed motivation at times. Now I'm looking for a 16' to go to work on!

I have a new to me Johnson 15hp Model # 15R79E. I'm assuming it's a 1979 model. It has sat for about a year. Prior owner said it ran very well....... I kept it in heated storage this winter and when I got my boat done in August bought a new fuel tank and fuel line, fresh gas and plugs. It...

I would like some feed back on the placement of guide bunks or side bunks. How much space is normally allowable or needed between the width of the boat and the bunks?

Hello to all, I an rebuilding a shore lander to use with a 14 foot Monarch flat bottom and have a question with regard to wheel size. It has 4.85 x 8 wheels and tires and I am considering a larger size for it. Perhaps 10" or 12". This rig will not be trailer-ed much as I live on a river system...

Nay of you gents know of a good supply company for aluminum bolts / cap screws. I need 5/16 diameter standard thread (prefer cap screws) 1.5" and 1.75" any help would be appreciated.

As I began tear down I discovered that a previous owner removed some of the floor ribbing that runs up the port side. A storage box that was added to that side of the boat hid the rib parts that were removed. If any one has one or more of these I would be glad to buy them and pay for shipping. I...

Hello to all. I am in the beginning stages of a rebuild on a 14 foot early 70's Mon Ark flat bottom. After the water test it looks like I have about 12-15 rivets to replace. The rivets I was able to remove appear to be 3/16 in diameter and some where in the 5/16 to 1/2 inch length. Do these...
