Congrats Mark! 3M continues to be a big supporter & advocate of DU as well, especially for the MN Living Lakes Projects. Big question is can you claim your WI property as permanent residence to avoid the taxation of MN?

I can help supervise

Boat is looking great! Is that Gus's new 20ga in painting picture? Taylor shot the M2 for the first time yesterday & it was the most comfortable I have seen her behind a gun. Good luck on the turkey for Gus.

Hi Aaron I built a BBIII 2 years ago & had about $3,000 in materials & parts. This included a deal on a trailer at $300, gas tank, wiring, electrical panel, ect. Only thing not included in that was the motor. Similar model boats have become quite popular in the last few years from custom...

Sad to see Tom leave us but glad he is no longer dealing with pain. Fortunate to meet Tom 2 years ago & soak up as much knowledge as I could in a short time. Thankful for his advice & willingness to help a rookie builder.

Continued prayers for Tom. Mark if you hear anything I can do to help the family I am a whopping 5 minutes from Mayo.

Tom jack plate will certainly help you but dinging a stump is still a concern to ruin a lower unit. Long tails require very little maintenance. Grease the shaft & changing oil & spark plugs is all mine has needed in 2 years. Have not owned a surface drive only tested them so not sure of the...

Hi Tom, I do not have experience driving the larger surface drives but in general you should expect to significantly lower your top end speed. Not only are you lowering by 20hp but changing to a motor that was not built for speed. My best guess would be low 20's for top end speed with a load...

I like #1

Thank you for the reply's everyone. A little surprised by the amount of folks used propane so maybe I need to go back to the drawing board here but I do want to heat the air floor to ceiling, thinking about paint & epoxy needing to set up properly. I was leaning towards a Reznor unit that...

Good morning all, I am in search of a heat source for my fully insulated & finished 3 car garage (~900 sq ft). 2 primary uses are- thaw & dry the duck boat out overnight during hunting season & be able to comfortably work on projects in the garage during the winter (65 -70 degrees), this...

A good buffie recipe & Phil claims he can grill goldeneye. What is this world coming to!? [:)]

Always hard to face reality of another year over but yesterday was close of the Mississippi River Zone, essentially putting an end to my hunting season. It was a fun & challenging year, more scouting was needed than in previous years & high water plagued my October hunting. Having gone...

Thanks for posting Eric & great job boys! That will be a fun rig to run indeed. Tell me about this GI stuff? Doesn't hold moisture? I like my rubber mats but they are HEAVY.

Jeff I suggest contacting Gildo Tori to answer your questions. gtori@ducks.org
