The Monk 36 gained popularity in the 1980s as a durable and affordable Taiwan import with a classic trawler profile and a traditional all-teak interior. Hull construction is solid fiberglass, decks are sandwich construction with balsa core and the hull features a skeg-protected prop as well as an upswept, well flared bow that contributes to her dry ride.

The Seller has owned this boat since 1988 and while she needs some attention to the exterior cosmetics, particularly the teak trim, the interior is an absolute jewel box. When you enter the first thing you notice is there is NO OLD BOAT SMELL!. The deadlights are crystal clear. The interior joinery is in excellent condition. The beautifully executed upholstery is in fantastic condition. There are no signs of leaks anywhere and the engine room is immaculate. Exact hours on the super clean Perkins 135 diesel engine are unknown but based on owner's comments are estimated to be less than 1500 hours. The Onan 5KW Generator has 281 hours. As a coastal cruiser and/or liveaboard, there is probably no better opportunity on the market.
