    Applying Registration numbers

    I have a new boat(Monark 185 King deep-v alum). Any tips to getting the registration numbers on straight without drawing a line on the hull with a pencil.

    Power for a 19ft deepvee

    Hello, I am looking at a 19ft Monark King with a 115 horse Optimax on it. I am concerned if this motor is big enough. The boat is rated for a 175. The weight of the boat is 1500 lbs. My main use will be fishing with some light tubing/ski use. Don't need a boat to race across the lake but...
