Lifting points on a 1983 Monk 36 Hi everyone . This coming weekend we will be lifting our new adventure a 1983 monk 36 out of the water and prepair her for a 3 year refit and I’m struggling to find the proper lift points as my marina hasn’t lifted one before any help ?

Sounds really interesting would mean the end of short fuel supply . I will follow where it goes also thanks

When it comes time to start are refit on our Monk 36 thing s fall we will need a new stove as its has a electric flush sh mount range and i’m not starting generator eveytime its in use .Haven’t heard much about alcohol stoves verses propane ? Need someone to tell me why not Alcohol . I know its...

I’m with you on quite anchorages ! Next fall when we begin our refit on our 1983 Monk 36 I’m thinking I might not reinstall the Generator as I’m trying to come up with enough reasons to spent a lot of time and money relocating the gem set as I want more elbow room around engine . My EFoy has...

I might as well give you my opinion as well . I spent a great number of years repairing and rebuilding of the 3208na and turbo version as a truck mechanic which at age 64 and counting i still feel i could rebuild one blindfolded . But I’m a simple guy so the Lehman would get my vote .after...

I will admit I should of went to the 210 model but I decreased my battery pack and I’m good now . I question using a full jug in 4.5 days . As I said we used for 7days straight and the rest of my 3 week holidays and still had some left . But I guess if you re demand is highl and it never shuts...

I have used a efoy 140 which puts out 6 amps feeding my 500ampere battery bank on my sailboat which I’m going to remove and install in our new adventure a Monk 36 . Ive had this model for 6 years and its 100% worth every nickel , no noise no nothing as it only has a small hum and it looked after...

The serveral trips we made to WYE HERITAGE MARINA this winter to do nothing buy look at the boat under shrink wrap and snow and wiggle ourselves inside to a very cold cabin was all worth the drive and as spring approaches we cant wait to see the whole boat . Looking forward to this spring and...

At a vintage 1973 it is truely a classic . It was around those years where fibreglass was just starting to be the norm so is your a woody or glass? Taking on restoring a vintage vessel would be a big challenge as well as rewarding when all done . I’ll likely be asking myself and shacking my...

Thanks we already join and hope we can share info and for sure stories along the way . Can’t wait till spring so we can uncover this vessel and see what she really looks like . Hopefully the engine runs well and no leaks anywhere and we will make the 150 mile trip home across Georgian Bay down...

if Anyone does hear from him we would like to know due to we just made the transition from sail to trawler and we just bought their old trailer a 36 Monk Living Light ! From the gentlemen that bought it from him . Just though he might be interested . We just joined this forum so we will be around .

I’d go for it ,as far as I know there isn’t any rules

We are new to this forum but when we get our 1983 monk to her home port for a major refit seating for Captain and first Mate are high on the list and I’ve always wanted to install a old Barbers Chair and swivel and all . May sound out there but I love the idea and it will fit and quite...

Yes it looks like we mirrored each other as we too got survey when covered and the guy was complaining he can’t do a good job when wrapped . You called a suicide buyer? I’would say we have vision ! Anyway look forward to all the help and questions along the way . Yes major refit as engine...

We did purchase just haven’t seen the outside very good as it was wrapped up for winter . We did crawl inside and made the deal buy it still needs sea trail just to make sure everything works . So right now we are a happy two boat owner which should prove to be an interesting spring .

Thank you . If all goes well around the first week in June we will pending sea trails bring her home as we haven’t seen the whole boat as it was shrink wrapped and on shore for the winter in Midland . It will be like unwrapping a Christmas Present not sure what we will all find .
