    Pricing a Arthur Armstrong Blackjack 13

    I bought a hull, in decent shape, cover was cracked but all there... for $1350 3 yrs ago. Sold it a yr later with a little repair started for $1500. As pristine as you say, on a trailer, it is likely in the $2500 range. Often times, we hold on to a nice rig as it is worth more to ourselves...

    Spud pole

    Bill, where are you located? I have a couple different poles that I use as anchors. We hunt very thick mud on a river tide. Conventional anchors on a rode, even with chain are a PITA. We bought a couple of the fittings from Max-Gains. and they work very well. I think we bought the glass rod...

    What's on your workbench? July

    Tipper/ Duck Butt

    I make them from my rejects! Though, I am casting foam. When I have a body that does not fill or has a void in the breast, I cut it off at an angle. Bore a hole deep and glue in a pvc pipe. Then restle coat and paint it up. I made feet from the neoprene of waders, painted orange (mallard)...

    Advice for attaching Skeg to Hull.

    I would ease the forward radius some more, so that nothing you drag it along will stop on it, damaging it and putting stress on the leading edge. As Dave suggested, if the fit is good, and you can clamp it well during installation, the hardware is not needed and makes any changes in the...

    Sneakbox identification needed

    Either Eddie or John Bourbon reached out to me to find out more about it. I saw a few pictures of it before sold, loaded with the decoys that piqued my interest! I know Eddie and John got some of the decoys. Eddie is up north in VT, Swanton area I believe.

    Sneakbox identification needed

    Looks like a decent hull. You might reach out to Eddie Gagne, he found it originally, and collected the decoys that were with it originally, some Herters and Wildfowlers. I had some correspondence about it more than a yr ago, but can not find it now. Looks like a nice deep hull, so certainly...

    NDR - Truck Bed Winch implemented

    Yes, I also made a bracket that sits on the lowered bed with a SS pully to keep the cable from cutting into the tailgate.

    NDR - Truck Bed Winch implemented

    Yes! I haven't deer hunted in about 10 or so yrs. I have a cart. I could place the handle on the edge of the tailgate and then pivot and shove. The winch would make it much easier. I still need to come up with a ramp plan.
