    1968 MonArk rebuild

    1968 MonArk rebuild

    Re: 1968 MonArk rebuild After getting the boat paint all fancied up, it made the trailer look like crap. So I touched it up with some flat Black, added a new winch, and put on a new light kit.

    Eska/Gamefisher ID help

    I picked this little motor up the other day for $100. Guy said it had been winterized but has been sitting for a couple years. I decided I'd take the chance. Poured some gas in it today, pulled it about 15 times and she fired right up! The guy didn't know anything about the motor, I can...
