Yes sir, from a few years back

Meet me in Texas and we will go get you one

Don, the ducks I posted on this thread are mottled ducks, I don't have any good up close pictures of the Mexican ducks we shot. The mottleds will have variations in speculum color from deep blue to a bright turquoise color, really just depends on the duck. Most lean towards the blue end of the...

Thank you Don, we are lucky to have a world champion waterfowl taxidermist right down the street. Actually have two of them in the area. Prices are high but I am willing to pay it on those "once in a lifetime" birds

I picked the blue one too

Yep - the head is the tell all for me on Mexican vs. Mottled. A pretty drake mottled that is 100% mottled duck has a very bright head. Mexican ducks have a darker mustier head. We killed a few Mexican ducks in south texas a few years back, and I sort of regret not keeping one to do a Mexican...

The project on my work bench this month is building somewhere for my workbench to go

Steve, there is actually a marine plywood supplier I found yesterday in Raleigh, NC (about two hours from me). They sell quarter and half sheets so I will just pick up a quarter sheet. It will be good to have on hand for future projects/repairs also

Hey guys, little bit of an update. Talked to Tom last night and he gave me some great insight on the repair. Steve, you were correct, it is a balsa core. My main question was what his thoughts were with me not having the real estate for a full depth 12:1 slope. He told me not to worry about...

Thanks Anthony, I shot them an email explaining the situation. Very curious to hear their thoughts on how to make the patch with the 12:1 not being feasible on two of the four sides.

Thank you Neal. I will absolutely flip the hull over. I am actually surprised with how light this hull is considering its construction. A team of a couple or three guys should be able to flip it. Good to hear you had good luck with a steeper angle. After watching some of the videos recommended...

Thank you Tom and Rick, this forum is a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate your help. Let me ask this, and apologies in advance if this is a dumb question. The 12:1 slope you sanded your existing hull to.....the area where my hull needs patched is near a couple "hard edges" i.e. it's not in a...

This is great information all! Richard, thank you for the photos, that is very helpful. Couple follow up questions..... It looks as if you cut a piece of plywood to match the hole you created, what type of plywood did you use and how did you "fasten" it to the existing plywood in the hull? Or...
