Sold! Thanks guys. Rich

I bought this low hour motor from a guy that up graded his mud motor to a 29 hp Subaru for more power. I figured it would be a great backup in case mi 23 hp mud buddy ever took a dump. My present motor will probably out live me, so I am putting it up for sale. I don't think you could have one...

I got to the West Palm airport yesterday afternoon for my flight north. the sign read, "NO YANKEES FLYING NORTH TO NEW YORK TODAY!" Have a great time guys, wish I were there. I really miss breakfast with my old buddies at the Blue Point diner. Regards Rich

Is there any diver hunting on lake Lanier in Northern Georgia? Or puddle duck hunting for that matter. Thanks Rich

In North Dakota I shoot my 12 ga. and primarily use 3 in. black cloud bb's. for the rest of my season here in florida I use my 20 ga. Remington 1100. I buy Winchester shells by the case from Mac's in no. 6's cheap to shoot and deadly on ringers and teal. Best of all I don't go home with a...

Congratulations on a fine build. Good timing on your launch, just enough time to be ready for the opening of duck season. Rich

Andrew, I got a big envelope full of mailers from these guys about 10 years ago. I saved wings and sent them off as directed. Next year I got two envelopes, I did as instructed. This went on for about five years and then one year no more envelopes. I always enjoyed the letter of thanks each...

A duck hunter buddy of mine up on Long Island has one of John Passie's dogs. Windy hunted her first season last year, being a pup still, she was just full of energy and enthusiasm, I love all dogs, but Chessies have a special place in my heart, I guess thats why I have four of them!, Rich...

Air flotation might work just fine for a time. Many years down the road, things might change as the boat gets older. When you need the flotation most, it might not be there. I know the issues with pour foam and moisture, but it might save your life, or the next owners someday. I used to work...

Clint, There are peel ply's for epoxy and peel ply's for polyester. make sure you have the right one! Rich

Clint, Couldnt find Butler, But if it is Boulter in Somerville Mass. they have been around since the flood,they sell good stuff! Rich

Clint. the Bruynzeel and Joubert plywoods are the best of the best. All Okoume thru and thru. We tried some bs 1088 made by some unknown manufacturers over the years, had issues with some of it it. Delams, were in some of the sheet, some wouldnt lay flat. Just like the fir plywood made in the...

Bruynzeel seemed to have started here in Florida back in the mid to late 80's. It got real pricey so we switched over to Joubert real nice too, super consistent quality. In time our suppliers were pushing lots of okoume ply other than the brands mentioned above. We saw some good, some not so...

Nice little boat. I am pretty sure it is a Gloucester Gull rowing dory. They used to sell plans for them in Woodenboat magazine. Rich

They started to become a nuisance around here so me and Diesel fixed that! Rich

Not many park ducks in North Dakota! Rich

I flew up last Wednesday for my first trip of the year. House was OK, truck had a flat, didn't even try my boat. Weather was cool but crystal clear and dry. There were ducks in every crop field mudhole and ditch along the road. Friday afternoon I took a ride up to see John VanHouten and do a...

Great stuff, thanks Anthony! and thanks to the Duck clams. Rich

One of my old Baymen friends who used to work with Red Oster, said that the duck clams were piled up a foot deep on the bay side of the beach on a strong north wind this winter. He credits the reappearance of them to the new [Old] inlet. I am afraid that if the hard clams come back next, I will...

Hey Dave, good seeing you again. Rich
