This 1971 Monk 43 Flybridge Sedan is a wooden motor yacht built by Seattle's Vic Franck Boatyard. The boat spans 43 feet with a 15-foot beam and semi-displacement hull design, powered by twin Ford Sea Master 534 V8 gasoline engines producing 227 horsepower each.
The interior layout centers on an open, light-filled main salon with a large built-in sofa that opens to a teak cockpit deck. Two private cabins and a separate head compartment with shower serve owners and guests. The galley retains original fixtures including a diesel cooking stove, icebox freezer, and standalone refrigerator. A forced-air diesel cabin heater provides climate control throughout.
The helm showcases original chrome analog instrumentation. Above, the flybridge offers substantial seating and storage, with davit equipment for launching an inflatable tender. The boat has been protected in a boathouse since construction. A 2024 survey confirmed the hull and systems in sound condition.
