My problem is asking how to draw the most stable chair and boat conformers of methylcyclohexane. I know the most stable chair conformer is with the CH3 in an equatorial position.
I am confused about the boat conformer. I think it is the conformer where two hydrogen make a flagpole interaction and the methyl is off to the side (equatorial?)

sounds right to me

If you really want to learn this stuff you need to get a model kit. It's a minimal investment that can pay off big.
