Monza 24 pictures-help
 

I am restoring a '79 Monza 24. Out comes the sbc/Alpha and in goes a 540/Bravo. I am sanding and sanding to prep for paint. I am going to try to stay old school. Does anyone have pictures of these boats that I could use as a guide?

Here's mine.

here's the present state of resto.....kept the docking lights......transom closed and ready for Bravo opening.....cockpit being stripped.....that's a new aluminum dash panel I fabricated with new Livorsi guages....getting a Gaffrig control and will be placed in control pod.....

a few more......side port holes and deck hatches are gone........

last for now. I will remove the remaining hardware to sand and prep for paint.

What happen to the Magnum?

my nephew still has it.....

Is that piece of wood treated that in the pics? If so, you should talk to a glass guy about how the resin doesn't stick well to it.

Hey donz keep up the work. I think you are in the most dificult part of the resto. I hope to see my monza on the water by first week of august. do you have pics of the engine you gonna use?

offshore, piece of wood just for covering tank now

benny, thanks for the encouragement....engine not built yet, either 509 or 540:D

anyone????

How about an old school 26?

very nice

ever finish?
 

I've had my 1980 Monza 24 for about 6 years now. Time now for fresh paint and interior. Mechanicals all done. Bravo, 540. 72 on gps. Looking forward to updating it though. It's almost like a part of the family, and living on the water on the coast have been through many adventures together. Hull and interior of mine looks the same as yours. I'm undecided on the hatches, think I'll likely keep the lifeline. Seats could stay or be replaced with bolsters. Stereo ready to go. Checkbooks on hot standby. this weeks the week.

We never finished it. Something else came by and took over this project. We sold it and have no idea where it ended up. Last i heard it was getting converted to twin O/B

Here's my buddies for parts if he hasn't already cut the drive train out of it & sent it to the dump yet. Located in Central NJ.

What kind of powerboat is that on the right hand side of your boat in the 3rd picture?




Any pictures?

Why is he cutting it up ? is it all rotted out ?

That's our 38 Cigarette topgun "90 mph" model, staggered chief 1200's hp doesnt look like that any more

No, just has more boats then he knows what to do with. I have a call into him, he's on vacation. (someone sent me a pm about it) Last time I talked with him he said someone wanted to buy the trailer and he was tired of looking @ it. He has more dollars than sense. He couldn't find anyone to build him a motor that wouldn't blow up. He has a bunch of expensive piles of junk motors in his shed last time I was up there. So he just bought a turn key boat with an Innovation Marine Motor in it.

gmhdfan:
Is that a 24' Superboat?

That would be me. :cartman:
