That higbee isn't designed for two guys, it's a one man boat. My two man boat isn't a traditional sneakbox whatsoever. It's a Delaware bay design...

12ft 6" for my two man boat. I have a Bob Fricke glass over cedar one man sneakbox, that boat gets a 15 hp yamaha two stroke. Haven't used that boat in a few years however.

You could probably get away with a 9.9, plenty of guys do, but once you start adding grass, decoys, gear, etc. you'd be better off with a 15. I could easily get away with a 15 on my sneakbox, but when I have two dozen decoys, two guys and it's blowing a gale I'm glad I have a 25.

That rig will run like a speed boat with a 15hp two stroke. That's what everyone runs on them out this way. Higbees are light weight planing hulls.

I spent two days in Maryland and Delaware last weekend hunting snows and we did pretty well. 170 birds over two days with a couple nice blues and one band.

I was painting my master bath this weekend and had to get some behr samples and couldn't help but think of your decoys Steve. I did pick a wigeon/pintail bill style color.

That wigeon is in my freezer along with a stud spoonie from this season. Would like to do a ultimate puddle duck limit dead mount at some point...

Come on Jay... 12ft highs and a meadow muffin. John's got every Roy boat from here to the St. Lawrence seaway.

Congrats on a successful end to the season Jay. As I've told you many times, if you can fool NJ black ducks you can fool anything.

If you're looking to hunt somewhere very protected a sunfish conversion might suffice, but for the NJ coastal and delaware bay marshes, with giant tide swings and potential for nasty conditions I think a true barnegat bay sneakbox would be a better option. Now's the time of year when craigslist...

Well this season was a letdown for most after last year. Mild weather, lack of birds, lots of pressure in condensed areas, a lot of folks were very frustrated after most had banner seasons last year. I was blessed to be able to gun almost 50 days again this year and while my numbers were down...

For everyone that PMs, DMs and emails me... here's your lead. So stop asking me :)

It's going to be bizarre passing up mallards next season.

Still on the spoonies the last few weeks. Most shovelers I've ever shot in a season. Had a group of 30+ come in one day, that was fun. Also had a bonus banded black duck the other day, three year old locally banded bird. Not as great of a season as last year, but those of us that are putting...

Roy beat me to it, anti-seize on your lug nuts will go a long way to a smooth swap next time.

Experienced the same thing earlier this week albeit with an eagle snatching a black duck. I wasn't quick enough with my camera though!

Can never have just one boat. I may be one of the few who's fishing boat is faster than their roy boat [;)]

I try to stay up on my maintenance on my outboard motors and haven't had one fail me yet (knock on wood). The only time I'd think someone would need a trolling motor around these parts is on the lakes that don't allow gas powered outboards. I run twin 350s on my fishing boat but I don't think...

Hunted in the skim ice this morning on the coast before work. Could have shot hoodeds, but ultimately didn't fire the gun. Good thing I'm off for a week and a half starting Friday [crazy]

We had a big push of birds on the coast between the first and second split, then we had some cold with skim ice and I think a lot of those birds pushed out. Meanwhile we've had record rain this fall and every little nook and crannie has water in it so the birds that are here are spread out and...
