That hull is rated 40 horse that's a 2 stroke.
A 4stroke is going to be to much transom weight and become dangerous when you slow down because of back wash.
I can only speculate to myself why it's being done and by who.
I can't say any more then that, other then to say. That they have infact been caught cooking the bird numbers in LA. Like all things in LA, it comes down to who is putting money in who's pocket and who needs dirt too get favors...
I can't legally tell you how I know, they have lied about survey data on LA.
That's all I can give you or anyone else.
Not worried if anyone believes me or not.
We aren't getting correct info now so what's the harm and letting someone else give it ago.
Your blindly naive if you think the counts are correct or honest.
I don't see it as a issue.
I mean look how good our federal authority's have been managing our waterfowl resources.
Duck and geese numbers are down.
What do we need large amounts of banding data for? We already know after , what 75 plus years of banding. Where our ducks/geese spend their...
I'm not even sure if LA has had their meeting yet.
Doesn't really matter anyways, they don't listen to anyone other then who is stuffing money in their pockets.
I will say this, Im not even sure we get enough pintails wintering in LA for us to even be able to shoot 1 per day. 20 years ago...
Unless you intend to carry four or five guys and gear. I would stick with the 15x53 hull. A 15x53 can easily haul 3 guys and gear plus blind and 6 dozen decoys. Long as you and your friends/family aren't 6' tall 300lb plus 🦍 🦍 🦍 like me lol
Remember every pound of boat you have is every pound...
Then in that case I suggest a welded aluminum 15x48 semi v hull and a 25 or 40 horse 4 stroke outboard.
It will serve you well for fishing in the off season and after you build up some knowledge of the areas you hunt and have a better understanding if you need a surface drive. If later you fill...
Well I have never hunted FL, so I'm not sure what kind of hull would work best but I can give some more advice.
Couple of questions.
Bottom condtions- Mud or sand?
Average water depth?
Load size? aka decoys/gear/people/dog
Water hazards? Wood/rocks
Do you plan on hunting from the boat?
Shallow water aka 2 foot or less and lots of weeds/mud is where the surface drive comes into its own.
Few things to understand about the surface drive.
You buy one with all the bells and whistles. FNR and electric trim. It's going to be heavy.its going to take a 15x48 size boat are larger to...
Because they are on a boat coming across the Atlantic Ocean and have too clear our ridiculously outdated customs system.
Not to mention, there is a war going on in Europe and any and every piece of material that can be used is being gobbled up by every country over there.
That said I have...
300 blackout is a 556 case cut down and necked up to fit .308 cal bullets. AR-15 platform
308 aka 7.62x51 NATO is Ar-10 platform.
It happens, friend of mine found 9 rounds of 300 slowout in a brand new unopened box of federal 556 ammo.
The AR-15 action preformed exactly how it was supposed to...
