#Monark bass boat update

Speaking of engineering, you must account for the weight of all those air tanks, gear bagsĪnd your passengers, to be spread out equally to provide the most comfort and safety for everyone aboard. It has a side console and remote steering. My boat is very similar to yours and all the seats were removed and replaced with angleĪnd sheet metal to make a bass boat.

#Monark bass boat update

It would help a lot if you can share where you are from ? maybe update your A very fun and informative place to hang out. I also plan on adding LED lights to illuminate the inside of the boat at night, a light bar or two on the front (have two 10x2' mounting areas on the bow to the left and right of the cleat), and LED nav lights on the front. All gear could be loaded into the boat or secured to it before climbing in quickly on the bank and then retrieving the gear. I'm not planning on climbing back in the boat from the water if we dive from it, but land access to some sites is restricted as I mentioned. Anybody know if it would be possible to remove the bench seat in the middle without losing structural integrity? Having the extra space for the tanks required (minimum of two tanks per person, but preferably two sets per diver to allow for multiple dives at a site) and gear assembly would be nice. Final desire is to paint the boat either dark green or a lighter shade of brown. Also thought about removing the middle bench seat (unless it would cause me to lose structural integrity) to allow for more floor space. I'd like to add a floor on top of the ribs, if possible. Max weight limit is 1025lbs, the motor I'm looking at is 175lbs, leaves me with 850 pounds of weight capacity to work with. Intended use will be cave diving (some springs/cave systems can only be accessed by boat due to being surrounded by private or government-owned property, or with extremely long walks from a vehicle), mainly pleasure boating/fishing, and the occasional duck hunting trip. Planning on putting a Yamaha/Suzuki 25 horse 4-stroke on it.

I just picked up a '78 MonArk 16 footer and trailer on Wednesday.
