    Looking for a new boat

    Thanks - I looked at the Nova Craft and they do have canoes that are lightweight. I am looking for a square back as I do plan to hand my mini mud motor of the end to power it. I've seen some double enders with modified motor side mounts and while they work for electric motors and small...

    I found where my boats leaking!

    I liked the GFlex I used because it came out kind of thick and then I hit it with a heat gun and flowed right into the leaking areas. Worked greeat around rivets. I have used this on my 14' lund, an old alumnacraft Ducker I restored and most recently my Lund Ducker. Never and issue. Nice...

    Looking for a new boat

    One of my duckboats is just getting too heavy for me. I have a fiberglass Hoefgen that weighs in around 65lbs. For me to load it in to the pick up bed, get it out, drag it to the water and repeat after the hunt is just too much. I love everything about it. 15' is a perfect length. I love the...

    I found where my boats leaking!

    i have used west Marine GFlex products on more than one. Very easy to use and has not failed me yet. They have a complete repair kit (link below) and also just the two part epoxy repair material (GFlex 560 maybe)...

    Mice, not duck related

    Someone on here will have a suggestion. We have mice at our house. They are not inside but outside and all around our AC condensor. I have seen them and have trapped many. I know there are more. I have been using the typical spring loaded traps with peanut butter as the "incentive". Has...

    De-Shining webbing - DB13 Dodger

    Mud it up and then wash it off. Just did this to my cordura boat blind. Made a world of difference

    Looking for new way to rig decoys

    I can always walk out on solid ground to pick up decoys. At the most, 4 feet deep water

    Looking for new way to rig decoys

    have used many different methods over the years. Current rig is set up using a modified Texas rig system. It works well for gathering up ducks in the water to just hook them to a carabiner and throw in the boat. Also works well in cold weather as I don't get my hands wet and cold. Problem...

    Qeustionon boat registration

    I have another boat at the cabin to do the old "booze cruise". And its registered. In MN instead of WI but believe to be technically within the rules.

    Qeustionon boat registration

    So it looks like the Hoefgen (15') that will probably be using a mini mud motor has to be registered somewhere. What is still muddy to my cheap ,id is the Hoefgen is not required to be registered in MN as it is only used for duck hunting. Guess I may have to find the cheapest place to register...

    Qeustionon boat registration

    I don't think this has been asked before. I have 3 duckboats. Poke Boat is 12' long, Lund Ducker is 12' long and the Hoefgen is 15" long. Lund Ducker Boat I registered this past season in MN as it never had a VIN and I wanted to create one which required registration. In MN, if a boat is used...

    Opening Weekend

    Haven't seen anyone post their weekend reports so thought I would give it a go. We hunt the far western edge of MN. Right at the continental divide actually. The area is called the prairie pothole region and it is named correctly. Lots of public land available and with it comes many hunters...

    Do it all boat?

    I tried to find a singular boat to do all you require. I ended up with 4 boats. Just sold one and I am down to three. I now hunt solo most of the time and sold my boat that could have possibly hunted three and gear. I know have a 22 lb Poke Boat for pure carry in access. It is a solo kayak...
