making it out of plywood i didnt bother to put a clean out door on it figuring it wont last that long out in the weather. maybe only 2 or 3 seasons. and i read some where that a rough oval was the best type of hole the ducks prefered not sure if its true but that what i did.

maybe i could talk to the guy at the local vocational school and get the students to sand blast the inside. it would be so bad to sand if it wasnt for the seats ribs and rivets.

there has to be some trick i dont know. sanding this boat is killing me my arms and back are taking a beating am i do something wrong is there an easier process or do i just have to suck it up and continue to slowly bring this hull back to life. A friend of mine saw the boat for the first time...

here is a few wood duck boxes i made out of scrap 3/4 ply we had laying around that was going to be put in the dumpster.

My father still has the 2 hp that was on it back in 1974.

How does it do with the 15 hp I been looking for a motor to out on it.

Well it works and is super easy to move around. It's a great feeling when you can solve a problem especially when you just use scrap stuff laying around.

thanks ill see how it works when i get home.

i cut it out of 3/4 ply and figured i would just seal it that is what was on the boat and it lasted for a while ill take a few pictures of the setup that was on the boat i just coppied. i figured on putting some of the marine glue behing it to help seal it and keep water from getting behind the...

I try not to get to many projects going at once. But I can't help but take a sander to the canoe and see what lies under the paint. Luckily I can only fit one boat in my garage at a time.
