Stability in a layout style hull comes mainly from width so if your planning to hunt that way choose something with at least 36" bottom width. If your going to stand to shoot go 48" minimum. That's been my experience thru the years and many hulls, aluminum and fiberglass. That of course if hulls...

Have you ever heard the term "Tump" used to describe those little Marsh Islands. That's a familiar terminology used in my area. Occasionally even see it on some maps/charts.

Nice looking build. I would bet there's a mkt. for those to be produced in aluminum.

We got 14" here in snow hill md. Never lost power totaly but still don't have Comcast which our TV ,home phone and internet are thru.didn,t get cell service back thru Verizon till Tues. Afternoon. I have a mess. 6 very large Leyland cypress down as well as top from a big red cedar came out...

Mid 50,s here on the shore yesterday & today. Rain tomorrow afternoon turning into a blizzard overnight Sunday into Monday morn.

I,ve found the most comfortable canoe seats are the padded ones that have a flip up back secured by webbing straps. Couple straps go under hull canoe seat to secure it. Easily put on and removed for travel or if you car top boat. Always nice to get the tush some padding and really nice to lean...

We've just always painted hulls Parkers Hunter Green which is actually more brown then green. Blends in perfect in our wooded back drop river bottom and blends with marsh mud on bayfront. Cover your thwarts with foam pipe wrap and areas adjacent seat where a paddle may hit gunnel. Wooden paddles...

Ones i,ve shot I thought kicked pretty hard even with target loads compared to say an 870 or BPS. Probably because stock was way to straight for me and the lightness their famous for. They are a smooth operating pump though, no doubt.

As a younger man myself and my gunning buddy would float upper ends of my river haunt occasionally. We always took turns up front shooting. Once you got a shot on birds you switched stations. Man in back gently maneuvered canoe using twists and turns in river as approach cover. Narrow river so...

Haven,t seen as many dead fowl this winter as last year due to Avian Flue . Of course the Snow Geese aren't in my area as much as last year either. Buzzards feeding on carcasses of snow geese last winter were showing up quite a bit dead.

That will definitely wreck a transducer if it doesn't kick up. Even unloading boat in an Icey ramp can frequently break bracket if it isn,t kicked up.

Yes, I,m on facebook. Do you have a catalog of styles for #72 sized mallards/blk. duck heads . Actually want to put some on some Restle Bodys . How does one go about placing an order?

Dave how do your heads compare to the old Mighty Layout boy heads as far as looks and toughness? Do you have a pic of your heads available?

Always used tinted kilz as a primer then 2 coats exterior paint over that. No issues with water deteriation.

Right now i,m in the Boat Blind mod. process while improvements needed are still fairly fresh on my mind. Last spring I bought a Beavertail blind, like new, cheap, for my 2072 . Installed on boat, made some mods to top shoot hole flaps, installed dog door & completely grassed . Looked amazing...
