Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 This is the jon boat I am currently customizing. It has 3 distinctive features for a 12' jon. 1. The hole in the front seat for storage 2. The seats are ALL wide (most jons the rear seat is wider than the forward 2 seats) and they all have a lip on both sides. 3. The boat is incredibly stable due to its 55" width and extra high gunnels. I am wondering the approximate age of the boat and I am wondering if anyone can tell me the make? Quote
Phishn_Phool Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 I had a similar one years ago. I would bet it is an Ouachita CPR ;D Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 Is that spelling correct? Googled "Ouachita" and didn't come up with anything boat related other than a lake Ouachida. Quote
gamblerOH Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 If the boat still has the vin plate the year will be the last 2 digits. Have your DMV run the vin # and this should tell you what you need to know. The plate will be located on the right(starboard)side rear of the boat. Assuming it still has a vin plate.I think anything made after the mid 70's was required to have a vin #. If it has never had a plate then you can be sure its older than that. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 7, 2005 Author Posted June 7, 2005 I have 2 vin tags on the boat and the last 2 digits are "64"!!!!! This boat is over 40 yrs old!!! Holy crap. Still very structurally sound. I guess I'll have to ask the registry the make when I get it registered. Quote
Guest argyll Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 'Is that spelling correct?

Dont know anything about the boat though. Quote

Safe-light-till-3 Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 YUP It is an OLD MONARK. I had a 16 fter that I used to chase strippers here on the chattahoochee river. Had a 20 merc jacked up so I could negotiate the shoals. I still miss that old boat unlike some of my old lady friends. LOL Quote
