With the pontoons in need of repair, the best offer I got was $3000. It's too nice of a boat to let it go for that so I sprung for a professional to come out and restore the pontoons over a two week period. This was expensive but I can now way that the boat is truly water-ready. Only the best materials were used in the restoration. See the pictures. Obviously, I am pricing the boat to get my expenditure back.
2001 MonArk 163 pontoon boat with a 2000 Mercury 40 HP 4-stroke outboard, galvanized trailer, remote control trolling motor, and lots of extras.
I purchased the boat in 2019 and had it professionally converted from a fishing-style boat with a center console into a much more comfortable family cruiser. A new right-side helm console and long bench seat were added so passengers can sit comfortably alongside the captain at the helm. This makes this boat unique and great for a couple. The helm and two of the seats were purchased brand new, and another seat was reupholstered to match. Each has plenty of storage underneath.
The boat was also completely rewired, including new LED lighting and a new fish finder. The deck is solid and the carpet is in good condition; both were replaced by the previous owner in 2018.
>>>> MOTOR <<<<
The 2000 Mercury 40 HP 4-stroke has a stainless-steel prop, power tilt/trim, and is in very good running condition. The boat had been stored for approximately seven years and was in perfect running order when it was put into storage. I only used it twice before storing it. After sitting in storage for those seven years, I recently brought it back out and the Mercury started on the first attempt.
>>>> TRAILER <<<<
The galvanized trailer was rewired in 2020 and has LED running lights, brake lights and turn signals, all of which have been tested and are working properly. New trailer runners were also installed at that time. The tires are from 2018 and have no visible dry rot or major wear.
>>>> CONDITION <<<<
For a 25-year-old boat, it is in very good overall condition. It has spent the last seven years in covered storage.
There are a few minor cosmetic/maintenance items worth mentioning:
- There is approximately a 3-inch tear in the Bimini top (see picture)
- There is some cosmetic damage to the right front where the boat bumped the prior owner's dock during a storm. (see picture)
>>>> EXTRAS <<<<
There are quite a few extras included with the boat:
- Brand-new starting battery
- New (2020) remote-controlled 12v electric trolling motor used just once
- Fish finder new in 2020 (Garmin Striker Plus 4/5)
- Safety equipment
- Live bait well
- Hidden fuel tank locker
- Boarding ladder
- Motor service manual
- Stainless-steel prop
- Custom battery holder / fuse under front seat for trolling motor batteries (not included)
- Custom PVC cover framework which Clips on to railings that holds a tarp or cover over the boat in a tent-like configuration
- Existing boat cover which is solid but needs new straps and cleaning.
>>>> ***** <<<<<
I have far more invested in this boat than I'll ever get back out of it, so my loss is your gain.
The boat is currently stored under cover and can be inspected by serious buyers. No absurd low ball offers please. As long as this ad is visible, the boat is still available so NO NEED TO ASK.
Contact me via email with any questions or to make an appointment to see the boat.
