I have a 13.5 ft Radison square stern canoe that was my Dads. He rigged it with an electric trolling motor with the battery up front. Works really good and no noisy motor. Your canoe is the same ones we'll be using this summer at the BWCA in Mn.

I feel the original Duck Boss 13 is a well designed boat though I wanted to make some improvements. That's why I didn't buy those molds back. The 15 molds were very old and not in real good shape and were due for some design changes so I didn't buy them either. The current 13 design has more...

Ok a little history lesson. I established Duck Boss Boats around 2007. I built a 10, 13, 15, and 17.5 ft. boats. I built all the molds myself. Six or seven years ago I sold the molds with the intent of getting out of building boats. The individual that i sold them to never really built any...

Try Zeigler Bolt and Nut House 800 362 0628 You name it they have it. Good luck.

Post up the entire HIN number and i can tell you what month and year it was built if you don't already know. The mfg. year is 1988 but the rest of the HIN number will narrow it down.

Hello Everyone, They shut things down here in Ohio over three weeks ago. My sons brewery has been hit hard but he has indicated they should be able to weather the storm. Myself I've been very fortunate. I laid my helper off to reduce the risk to myself and my wife. Both of us are well into our...

I can't help on measurements but yours seam to be a bit skewed. 32, 20, 46, 54 The 20 in. seams a bit out of place.

Hello Everyone, It was in my plans to revamp my boat line this year and with the sale of Duck Boss I now have the time and means to design a new line of duck boats. I've always enjoyed building boats and particularly enjoy doing the Tuckerton show with my dealer Rich Young who will represent my...

I wanted to make it public that I recently sold Duck Boss Boats. I want to assure anyone that has one of my boats that is under warranty that I am still in business and if anyone has a problem with one of my boats that is covered under warranty that I will take care of any issues you may...

I was thinking wood stove too. I guess you just can't fix stupid.[cool] Tom

I've been to BWCA four times latest last year. We had a group of eight. Most all of us had one pair of light weight water proof short hiking boots and good sandals. My boots and sandals were both Keen brand. I wore the sandals most of the time. If the portage was rough or long I would change...

Typical mark up should be 40 percent from what I've seen. You need to have a auto tech next door to your shop that you give a hand now and then that charges parts at cost and reasonable labor. I'm lucky to have that. Tom

That's a displacement hull. 15hp 2 stroke or 4 stroke should give you about the same performance. Tom

I compared Yamaha, Honda, Tohatsu The Yamaha 30/40 has the smallest displacement. Then Honda 40/50 Then Tohatsu 40/50 has the largest displacement. Yamaha, Honda 214 lbs Tohatsu 208 lbs All have EFI Tom
