This makes me want to pick up a project boat, which I really don?t need to do.LOL.

Beautiful cockpit cover. I hope someday to be as busy and happy as you are. What did you do for work before beautifying old duckboats and decoys?

Fantastic, I rarely get anything but mixed. LOL

As long as the specs I found are accurate... HA! [pirate]

I was able to find some ohms testing for it online finally, the stator did not ohm out within spec. The trigger did. I?m going to try stator first. This is the first issue I?ve had with mine! Thank you both! We shall see, I can?t find any good ways to test the power pack.

1993 merc 15, which I love because of the twist throttle forward/reverse on my devlin bluebill. It ran perfect without problem for almost 8 years that I?ve owned it until... Intermittent total spark loss, mixed with 1 (bottom) cylinder spark loss, mixed with multiple big fat beautiful blue...

I think you have to be born with this level of detail -- I would lose my marbles trying to do this good of a job, which makes it all the more appreciable when you do it so well. you're amazing, the boat is coming along great.

I have some old foam decoys with hard heads on them. pretty sure they're herters, they have steel keels it looks like, some of them anyway. some look like they are missing the bottom weight, and I have a pair of old cork decoys in better shape than these too. too. I just don't think I am...

LOL. I usually goof around with people like that by raising the price 20$ per reply until they either agree on something reasonable or go away....

You are doing a great job, the project is coming along nicely! You'll love it when it's done. I much prefer my bluebill to my big lund when it comes to hunting ducks. I'd love to sell the lund and build an 18-20' stitch and glue boat, but I doubt the costs would even come close, and I don't have...

You'll like having the sponsons. Go for the scarf, they're easy and work fantastic!!

I've bought the cabelas brand with some success, and also an off brand that shall remain nameless (the first time they got wet they LITERALLY smelled like dog crap, and they rotted at 100x the rate of the cabelas ones) I have not bought the cabelas brand in years, and just wondering if there is...

That looks fantastic, just the kind of idea I was looking for

I have an 18' Lund with pretty tall sides, wondering what you dog people use for a ladder to get the pup in and out? It has a blind on it, I will make an access hole for the new pup to get in and out. I have to get some pictures up here, he's really filling out nicely. 5 months old, and an...

Thank you all for the input! we are getting pretty good at the basic commands, and VERY interested in things that smell like ducks (we do fetch outside with duck wings.) Returning to hand is going to be the big one. I can tell most of what's needed for a good duck dog is built In, just trying to...
