Thanks Rick, I couldn't have done any of this without your insight ... both in these pages and via PM. I ended up retrofitting an Avery Truck ramp for the dog boarding ladder. It has a small piece of aluminum angle at the top that mates perfectly with the anchor chock on the starboard stern...

Thanks fellas, it's been fun ... can't wait to hunt out of it! I've got some blind modifications to do, and waiting on a dog ladder to reconfigure to fit, so it's looking like a scratch for opening weekend, but it should be actively pursuing waterfowl the weekend after. Nick, begrudgingly...

Warm-up! Spent the weekend rewiring everything brand new, through conduit ... running lights, interior lights, bilge pump, and ran a line up to the bow for a future light bar for running the sloughs (full of deadheads). All terminating at a new waterproof switch with USB chargers (I'm inching...

Update ... weather cooled off, and with all the other side-projects I let the repaint get away from me. Luckily, we had two days of warm weather ... so I took them off and got it mostly done. Sanded the entire boat, bought the FME from Lou as recommended here, and also decided a coat of Tuff...

Those are great Steve, I better not have that many drink holders mounted! I might make a few out of some composite decking we have in stock. I've spent the last 2 nights doing other things, but did get a chance to pull off all the tape I put over the MarineTex hole repairs keeping things...

Thanks to Rick?s (RLLigman) advice progress has been made. Riveted and epoxied the aluminum awning track, bought some welt to fit, had an employee sew me up some new decoy curtains. Came out great. Went around and removed all the screws holding various fishing things (left the drink holders...

+ Norwegians eat Lutefisk too ... your theory is shot!

Great, thank you!

Quick update ... snow has finally peeled back, and life has slowed a bit to allow me to start working on the TDB. Thank you for noticing I was short three support poles for the blind (I was). I ordered those direct from Olsen Marine so I could be sure of receiving the thick-walled tubes I...

Auction is over ... anyone get some deals, or did they go for expected amounts? I "won" a new side table my wife had to have, and some oriental lanterns she also liked ... yippy! They were dirt cheap though.

Yes, they will definitely ship decoys ... they just hold off shipping Waterford crystal, furniture, etc. I'm in Hayward, WI ... that's where the late Dave Lyman was from as well. He was a pretty knowledgeable collector as far as waterfowl art was concerned ... I'm fairly certain the same holds...

So very sorry for your loss, he looks from his pictures to be a one-of-a-kind-type guy.

Here's the 1st auction results from last year. No idea if these were good, realistic, high, or "they stole it!" prices: https://kubarekauction.hibid.com/catalog/142038/dave-lyman-auction-part-1-of-2/?q=decoy&m=1&ipp=10

This is the 2nd one I've been a part of. Last year he had some really nice firearms that seemed ridiculously low. They went for what would be expected. A whole lot of the other things auctioned in Round 1 went extremely low. My oldest sister collects mason jars and the likes ... when she saw...

Pretty neat rig right there ...

Morning guys. I know some of you are into old decoys. I know zero about them, but I do know this guy (who has passed) was a pretty good collector. This auction house is local to me, and I would imagine doesn't have a huge following. Just something I thought you may be interested in ... may...

That's a cool looking Gaddy ... I've never seen one, and I'm pretty far away from those SE fellas!

Very nice ... clean, crisp shots. Thanks for sharing!

Bob, include me as well if you don't mind? Thanks, best regards ... Tom

Perfect ... thanks for everything! How was the hunt, birds moving a little better? My buddies gave it one last go up on Superior over the weekend, Goldeneyes and Bluebills were fairly solid, but just for the open water hunting ... the guys on the points didn't fare as well. Probably birds...
