Pretty bird and the skyline in the background but not this season. Watch the tide!

Todd, Yes, the bottom is rounded both from bow to stern and from side to side. The radius from side to side is constant. I think of the bottom and side "planks" were made to the exact dimensions taken from a constructed boat that the form would take itself naturally once a few form sections...

Todd, I?ll post some pictures of the build and finished boat tomorrow. If you are serious about trying to build this out of plywood I could make some full scale tracings from my boat on a roll of paper. Eric

Rick, Not my boat but back in 2006 or 2007 there was a rail skiff race at the Tuckerton Decoy and Gunning Show. On of my competitors mentioned the small craft meetup at the Union Lake Sailing Club. I was not there but did spent the summers of my youth on Union Lake. Eric

Todd, I built the Independence Seaport Rail Skiff (Maurice River Style) 15 years ago. You can read about this boat in the September/October 1994 issue if Wooden Boat magazine for more details than the plans give. The lines of this boat are very nice, It looks good just sitting on the water...

Kurt, I am curious to hear if you figured out the builder. A friend of mine recently purchased a boat that has some similar details. Eric

Anthony, Here is an update. About a week ago my daughter and I put on our waders and went out to inspect the boxes for eggshells left over from hatched wood ducks. We were surprised when a duck flew out of the box. I was able to snap a picture inside the box before we quickly departed to...

First shotgun was my grandfathers pre WWII A5 with Lyman Cutts Compensator installed on the barrel. Current shotgun is the same but with a Japanese Invector Plus barrel.

Anthony, Here is my two on my fathers wood lot in South Jersey. Put them up a couple of weeks ago with my daughter when the cedar swamp was frozen. No waders or ladder needed that way! Eric

I stayed at the Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge last year with my family. We pitched our tent but most used campers. The campground is clean and we would go again. Key deer were wandering around the campground every day. Big Pine Key Boat Rentals has some boats right there and she has some down...

Check ?A B Frost?. A lot of neat prints come up on EBay by him. Some of his original ?Shooting Pictures? prints are expensive but there are lots of reprints and duck hunting prints were published in vintage magazines such as Schribners as well. Some are larger double page. You can probable...

Here is my first attempt at "making" my own decoys. The bodies are Homer foam diver bodies. I burlaped the Bluebill and Canvasback bodies. The Buffelhead bodies were Homer coated. Heads for the Bluebills and Canvasbacks came from Autumn Wings already painted but the hen Canvasbacks seemed...

I have a Etec 30 HP, just over 1 year load. I had it drop back to limp mode once last year. Power was restored after a few seconds. Had the boat out yesterday for the first time this season and it went into limp mode three times. Each time it was after letting off on the throttle a bit after...
