Where abouts in FL? I'm in Tampa, moved here from Mobile 5 years ago. Didn't know how good I had it back in Mobile, with great public waters and a good mix of birds. Havent even bought a license or duck stamp since I moved here.

Welcome to the DHBP! Nice scenery, where are you located?

Have you thought about a sea duck hunt with Troy Fields? He's along-time DHBP member and contributor.

Thats a pretty impressive foam boat!

Building is great, but if you want light weight. wood & glass is not the way to go. If I ever move back to duck hunting country, I'm getting one of these: https://www.creekboats.com/m98

Husband of a friend of mine is owner & guide at this place: https://www.facebook.com/legironoutfitters I have a couple of buddies who go to northwest Mississippi (Tunica) every year and do well most years. Flooded timber and rice.

Welcome aboard Jeff! I believe a flatbottom boat will normally draw less water than a semi-v of the same size/weight. But a semi-v may track a little better. Do you plan to pole or paddle? I've never built a wooden boat but I'm not sure a glass & plywood hull of that size is going to come in...

Yep, thought about that after I finished the last one!

3rd and final one done. $20 kit fixes $200 worth of rods. And I still have lots of eyes and thread left over.

Outstanding!

Rod #2 done.
