    Deck draining to bilge

    From all I've read on the topic, I didn't want to go thru-hull. I haven't been able to put the boat in the water yet, but I don't think it will be above the waterline anyway.

    1978 MonArk SuperSport Restoration

    I was recently "gifted" a 1978 MonArk SuperSport IV boat and 70 horse Johnson motor, which was in pretty good shape except for a rotted spot in the floor where a stool was bolted down. I have never owned a boat so I began to do some research on how to fix it, and came across this site. Long...
