Steven Glad you came back onboard. I've known you for at least that long and there is no doubt in my mind you fit in here. A courteous, intelligent, level-headed, knowledgeable, and serious duck hunter. Pull up a chair and join the conversations.

Steven Eight feet in uncharacteristically short. In recent months I've reviewed a ton of manufacture literature for similar boats and recall none of them being shorter than 12'. I'm no help other than to say are you sure it is only 8 feet long? I have some more literature on my home PC I'll...

Bobby I can see that box not only being handy in the Meadowlands, but also in many different gunning environments across the four flyways. In fact, I'd say the duckboat market has a bit of a void right now in availability of such nifty little boats. In the past there were a few companies that...

Todd He's a really nice size for hunting and has great looks.

Carl & Paul Magazine articles point existing hunters to specific locations. Social media on the other hand can recruit hunters and for many it fuels their competitiveness and drive for recognition, notoriety, and even fame.

Absolutely. I've never heard of a scarf joint done properly failing.

Bob Scooter's face in that last picture has the look of "Why me." I know how it is to lose your companion for an entire season to injury. Every time you drop a bird you'll miss him and think about how'd he'd ball all over it and long for next year. You two will share more hunts.

Crow or predator are as good of a guess as any. That plastic divider must create a high pitch of sorts.

Congrats Todd. Buffett may not know it but he just got real lucky coming to live with you.

Does anybody recognize the "call" in this picture that looks like an organ pipe? Is it a call? Or has the auctioneer misidentified it?

Brian Thanks for sharing your boat's history. You boat looks to be in good shape, especially for being well over 50. A restoration effort will make her a show piece. In case you missed it there is a new entry in the Resources section of this website. Link below...

Just remembered that @CraigS built one. https://duckboats.net/community/search/111204/?q=honker&c[users]=CraigS&o=date

Brian Excellent introduction. I suggest you re-post it in the main forum for others to see. If you have any plans for her, mods/restoration we'd all like to hear about it.

Rob Pete Markantes built a Honker and chronicled the build in-depth. Unfortunately, that was under an old forum system whose posts could not be saved when we upgraded the first time back in 2006. I can't remember anyone building and documenting it since Pete. He lives in Oregon so you might...

Yay! Glad a member here got it. I hope you share your experiences with the boat starting with any background info you learn. Really cool boat!

Vince nailed it. I've been wearing these a few years. https://darntough.com/collections/mens-hunting-socks/products/mens-merino-wool-boot-heavyweight-hunting-socks?variant=42163368689850
