I've been a huge fan of the mighty Bluefin Tuna since my first experience with them in July of 2007. On that day we landed an amazing 45", 65# fish on a popper. I've been hooked ever since and can remember every encounter with them with detail since that first fish. I've had some success...

noticed this design under "the drafting table" part of devlins site. looks like a bigger version of the honker. bet it would make a nice duckboat. http://www.devlinboat.com/draftingtable.htm

derek, great work. i bet they float high and show up real good. best, mark

LOL!!! bill, im glad your both very much alive and "dead". really looking forward to december.... mark

whats wrong with spit and a rag? geez... fancy, wancy!

and scott, when you do go to tods spots, please post large pics with full background on the internet for everyone to see!

scott, i wouldnt bother removing the paint. use gorilla glue and a 1 1/4" galv. deck screw and you shouldnt have any problems. if your doing scoters, i wouldnt bother with eyes. maybe on scaup or others ducks with bright eyes but not brown eyes. the detail of eyes is probably more for the hunter...

thats the best looking floor ive ever seen! neat paint job on the layout too. best, mark

tod, a big YES on the tolman. 22' jumbo center console. lots of ideas and plans but my hands are tied right now working 240 miles away from home. just have to pay my dues right now but i want to start NOW. best, mark

tod, thats a sweet setup. it has to be tough to drill new holes into your boat. what is your process for that? do you just bed everything in 5200 or use epoxy too? mark

brad, great work. i enjoyed looking at your pictures. do you ever scarf the bottom joint on the DH? any reason why you couldnt scarf that joint? thanks alot, mark

don, i have the same exact boat with the same problems. i have two leaks. i floated it when it was completely dry and put 4 guys in the boat for enough weight. one leak in the bow and one at the transom on the centerline. im planning on sandblasting the hull and then have the problem areas...

jason, thats great! couldnt have a better teacher! best, mark

charlie, ive enjoyed watching this project progress. everytime i see the pics, i think, what a professional job. looks great. best, mark

gary, looking good. looks like youll be done well before season. what did you use for cloth? best, mark

gary, looks great. professional job. did you add rocker or make any other mods. to the boat? what kind of ply did you use? keep us updated. best, mark ps. you cant beat FME paint from lou.....

how do you navigate your boat or dog through that setup? plus how do you hide your cord when its close to the surface from wary divers? in my area, which has very clear water, the redheads would laugh at us on a calm day. mark

tod, just a heads up. cabelas has 12" by 12' gray or black high grade marine carpet for $17.99 each, so your looking at $36. doesnt seem too bad considering it will last a long time...... mark

tod, why not get a bunk carpet replacement kit from cabelas or bass pro? they come in various widths/lengths matching the average trailer bunks. that way you dont have alot of waste by not buying the wide stuff by the yard. im sure cabelas in hartford will have it. best, mark

brian, id reccomend memphis net and twine for clips and hardware. you can get cord from them too. lots of ways to rig so i wont get into it too much but 10-15 dekes per line is fine. window sash weights work good for anchors but 2-3lbs of lead on each end will work for most conditions too. make...
