I'm 54 have been a hunter for 42 years and a duck hunter for 40 or so, and I'm nuts over boats and duck boats in particular. I now own a Devlin Mallard, it's 12 feet 11 inches long and 4 feet 10 inches wide and weighs about 138 lbs. (dry). The decoys that are shown in some of the pictures are placed for show as they normally will be bagged and stowed while traveling and running.

Here's my pride and joy with decoy's and my Browning Gold Hunter for an idea of size and width. Part of some additional items will be a couple of shelves to keep shells and other item handy and dry! At this time I plan on using an etha foam pad in the bottom for quiet and comfort as I want to use this as a bay layout from time to time.



Here is another view of this great boat that explains why they are so stable. And like the Barnegat Bay Sneak box it is built on arcs of a circle. It isn't as fast as could be do to this fact and the rocker built into the hull, but it carries the weight that a duck hunter always has to need.
