    Ducker Transom question

    So the rehab on the Lund Ducker is going slowly. Most of the reasons are good, and a few are not so. I finally got the transom put together. I wanted to make it "pretty" but functional and durable was of higher importance. Used 1/4" X 20 stainless bolts of various lengths to bolt the outside...

    Can I just paint my transom or do I need to seal it first

    Thank you Steve. Kind of figured this is the route to go. Finally getting warm enough here to get some work done on the boat. It needed way more work than I thought. You've never had that happen to you I'm sure. Mark

    Can I just paint my transom or do I need to seal it first

    Before installing my plywood transom, do I need to seal it before painting it with a good paint such as Lou's FME or Parkers Paint? My plan is to just paint it good on all sides before installing it an then it will get sprayed again when painting he boat. Is this a mistake? The inside of the...

    Need help with identification of hull

    I don't know about the 6.5 hp motor. Maybe Ed can chime in here as well as I think he has owned every duckboat ever produced. I have a Hoefgen Duckboat (double ended marsh boat that weighs 65 lbs). A few years back I was home building mud motors out of small Chinese motors (1-1.5 hp). These...

    Dumbest Question ever

    Did some researching on the Hernando Beach area and all the canals. Guess there was some mining down this way and they used the ex cess mining material to build up the home sites. Along with dredging. Also found out that the "development" we were staying in was the only one of the 3 with...

    It Happened Again!

    It has happened more than once to us. I'd tell your VISA person to next day you a new card or you will look elsewhere. We've always had a new card in a couple of days.

    Dumbest Question ever

    Thanks everyone. Pretty cool place down here. So different than MN. Our only requirement is that every meal except breakfast is seafood of some type. We have been down this way before and have found some nice hole in the wall seafood joints.

    Another transom question

    Thanks Eric. I've spoken with a couple others who put the same longtail on the Lund Ducker with good results. Neither ever did anything to the transom. On the ducker I bought the transom boards needed some work so I'm thinking beefing it up a little would hurt anything.

    Another transom question

    Will going full width across the top provide more strength? I am putting a 7hp long tail on it and it is probably a heavier motor than the boat was designed for. Others have done what I'm doing and I never asked if they needed up the transom before putting in a longtail.

    Another transom question

    As mentioned in an earlier post, I bought a Lund Ducker to give it a go. I needed a project and redoing the boat, building a motor and refurbing a trailer is just what the doctor ordered. The transom used to be 3/8" plywood. On the inside of the boat it was probably at the most 6"'s wide and...

    Dumbest Question ever

    We are renting a place in Hernando Beach Florida for a couple of weeks. We are right on one of the many channels that come into this area. Have a couple dumb Northerner questions. 1. How the heck did they make all these channels? These are all perfectly laid out so they are definitely man...

    Collapsible Boat blind - ideas?

    I boughtone of these a long time ago and love it. Back when I got mine, one could just purchase the frame alone with no camo. Don't know if this is still an option. Current boat I'm refurbishing will have some version of this blind. https://flywayspecialties.com/ Mark
