Several times i,ve come close to buying another but in 16' this time. Great little foot print for a boat blind and of course a perfect little run a round boat . Were a couple for sale recently in Va. on Facebook.
Is it a Glass Boat Works Hull ? Smart move with the dodger up front and I also see you,ve got the strips down side to break splash from coming into stern. I ran an 18' for several years. Great little hulls , rarely see them now as most have gone to Carolina Skiffs in that style hull.
Many years ago I built one from a 12' aluminum jon that had stern crushed. Cut out stern and replaced with 3/4" sign board. Seats removed and cut down to 8' length from bow. Boat was originally a 36" bottomed jon. Built ribs with a 3" arc for cockpit from 3/4" Sign board and decked with 1/4" fir...
Steve I guess you,ll just have to do a set of plans for a similar bx. but built to 8' to 10' lenght & say 36" to 44" wide on bottom. Just something to keep you occupied. LOL
Wife brought home some of the Vanilla Coke zero this past week from a trip. It tastes pretty good but never thought of mixing it. May give it a try. I haven,t mixed my bourbon with anything but ice in many, many years so we,ll see.
Just beware you,ll not get the drop at comb with a A300 that you get with your humpback A5. May or may not matter to you but will effect the way you shoot it. The A300 platform is good, i,ve got one in 20 gauge, that shoots great for me now after buttstock mods to get D.A.C.
Think your going to find running boat with walls dropped down like that is going to come back to haunt you. Probably going to be constantly wet when you flip them up for use. Look's neat though way you've formed to hull lines but for actual use I would have left uprights basically straight and...
Years ago we use to shoot them when waterfowl hunting behind Assateague Island, Md. Tried cooking them a couple times after breasting and not a fan. Froze one for an upcoming taxidermy class I was taking late winter. Unbelievable the smell when I opened that birds up come class time. Stunk to...
Picked up a well used 1436 Lowe jon over the weekend and spend all monday and yesterday un bubbaing it from previous owner. Had a stiff N.W. wind blowing all day yesterday and about 40 air temp. Reminded me of my working outside all day to earn a buck younger days! Installed aluminum floor...
Check out their blind mounting tutorial on utube and it will give you some good ideas for frame and mounting design. One thing they do that I don,t do is attach bottom of blind covering to boat. I,ve found a lenght of scd. 40 1" conduit attached to bottom of wall covering the length of wall...
