Very good buy very seaworthy boat and light enough to push off of the mud. My dad has an original Maine built one and after over 20 years of abuse, and I mean abuse he had to put a new floor and transom on it’ll last for my kids to use!
I’m picking up my puppy as well at the end of the month. She will be my first dog, but I’ve hunted over my father’s dogs since I was a kid. Congratulations best of luck!
Yes they are not too common the South Bay is more readily available. My dad has a tdb 14 classic we hunted two guys and a dog no problem sometimes three guys and a dog that’s when it got tight. I’m getting the puppy from Bob Owens at Lone duck outfitters in Syracuse.
I hunt a Bauer with two guys great… getting a dog next month so next season I’ll hunt the dog with just me in the boat and two guys I’ll put her in a blind on the stern, hope this helps.
Sitka waders are phenomenal definitely worth the money if you’re an avid waterfowler. If you’re unsure about breathable vs neoprene go breathable 100%.
