So, I've been working on getting the frames built for this ply-on-frame boat. Been having fun, but there's nothing much to post when all you've done is built a few frames. Hahaha . . . But now, the thing is starting to look like something and I thought I'd post some of my progress on my very...

Thank you! Sounds like a good rule of thumb . . .

Will do . . . I am sure I will have more questions to post as I progress!

Thanks Chris . . . and your rebuild is looking absolutely great! Been following your posts without commenting much . . .

Looks great!

Thanks, Chris. I like your idea of having the dodger and decoy racks meet together to create a little more protection. A rear decoy rack is something I hadn't decided on with any certainty yet. My river setup is usually 1.5doz dekes or so and I wasn't sure I really needed a rack for them...

Anyone else have some advice here?

Scott Thanks for the input! Most of my hunting will be in the shallow, riffle-y (I think I just invented that word . . . hahaha) rivers of central Virginia & North Carolina, with the occasional venture out to the Rappahannock or Eastern Shore of Va. I am planning on adding a dodger.

Hahaha . . .

I am building a ply-on-frame BBSB-ish boat. All frames & transom are complete. Next step is attaching the frames together with the pieces that will become the cockpit sides/coaming. As it stands now, the coaming will be 2 1/4" high. Is that enough for a very low sneak boat? I was planning on...

Big fun!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've never met you or Jack, but I know the pain of loss. Dogs are family. And they just do not live long enough! Sending up a prayer for you and those who shared your love for Jack. So sorry . . .

Thanks for sharing the fun!

For what it's worth, I really like a can mounted with the neck curved as it seems to really highlight the sloping bill that just screams "canvasback". Usually, that means a sitting pose but Kyle's flying birds have curved necks which I think is terribly cool! I also really like diver and/or...

Absolutely chilling . . .

Awesome! Congratulations!

This is a great example of why this forum is incredibly valuable! Thank you so much for all the advice! Really not feeling terribly confident in anything but epoxy now . . .

I have a canoe that I got from a friend of mine with a gloriously "redneck engineered" pontoon system. Elegant and aesthetically pleasing it is not, but it IS functional even if they get in the way of a paddle stroke every now and then. The peace of mind they afford in the dark in winter has...

Good points . . .

Awesome pics! I live near the D-Day Memorial. God bless the men and women who fight & protect us all!
