Nothing better than a puppy!!! Good luck with her

Have to agree... Love to see your post. Spectacular pictures of hunting from sneak boats.

I love doubles for upland hunting. Have not made the switch to waterfowl though. I did use to hunt waterfowl with a 1927 Fox sterl. but it was only for a short period of time and i did shoot bismuth out of it. I now use an AYA Model 25 for uplands in 20ga.

-4 degrees in Douglas Ma. These days you need to just learn to go with the flow.. Its winter in New England

Steve, I do not have a boat with an issue. I am in the market for a boat and was wondering if this is an issue with boats made of wood. I know a glass boat you just fix the hole or crack. But was wondering if you have a wood boat and this happens what it takes to fix it is all. I am up in the...

Quick question for wood boat owners. If for some reason you get a leak in say the keel area which takes the brunt of abuse. What happens when the wood gets wet. Do you have to rebuild this section of the boat cause of it swelling or anything.

I had started the thread and was getting some much needed advice. Believe me when i say i have used the search post a very lot... Sometimes its nice to get up to date info since we just had a new season and people have had new experiences with different boats. It really is to bad that people...

Mike, If you send the cad drawings i will build the boat and test her out for you for a little bit just to make sure she is worthy...

Well now we are talking... Lol I just so happen to work in a metal fabrication shop that does alot of alum. welding. I do not do the welding. I do the cad and 3d modeling in the office as well as program the laser cutting, waterjet cutting and cnc punch machines. We have all grades of alum...

I like the idea of the dog right there with you. I know my dog wants to be with me and next to me. He would not do well in that situation at all. He is a snuggler... lol

I am not a speed demon and need to get from point A to B as quick as possible. I do want to get into the shallows to hunt puddlers though. Suggestions on boat types as far as names go.. Blackjack, Huff, Widgeon I am thinking all fiberglass now that someone mentioned you should keep wooden...

Could someone please explain the difference and purpose of some hull designs. For example Displacement versus planing hull. Which is best used where. And show some examples if possible. What do you prefer and for what reasons?

I like that idea as well. My lab Scout will have a nice dry place to stay while waiting to do what he loves best.

Craig, Thank you very much. Well i do not have a garage so this boat will be outdoors all the time. I do not venture to far from shore. I do most of my hunting up around the upper coast of Massachusetts. So with what you said i am better off with a glass boat. I do like to hunt the shallow...

Dave, Nice picture... So she keeps you warm during a cold weathers hunt as well...

I thought the dodgers encompass the opening. I did not realize they are set back so there is like a shelf section the dogs can sit up on. I really need to look into these style boats more. Having hunted out of just a TDB i am limited on what is out there and how they are used.

Dave, You have the Huff which has the bigger cockpit. That was one of the reasons i liked that boat. It seems alot of the BBSB have the smaller cockpit and was wondering how people work with the dog in these boats. Even the Higbee in the classifieds has the small cockpit. And i guess we...

What do you guys do with the dog in a small cockpit sneakboat. One of the reasons i wanted the larger cockpit type boat. I need room for me and my 75# choc lab.

This goes along with my quest for a Chuck Huff. What are the advantages of glass over wood versus just straight fiberglass. Does it take more of an abuse in ice conditions. The north east late in the season we get into ice for sure. I am not talking thick ice but 1/2" to 3/4" thick. What do you...

Its funny sometime you ask a question looking for an answer and next thing you are so overwhelmed with which way to go now... I am so appreciative of all this advice. I understand everyones reasoning for what they say. I am going to look into all these boats suggested and hopefully find the one...
