Kirk, I made this hard cover out of 1/8 luan and 3/4 inch doug fir, and epoxy. Works well for both storage and while traveling. I wrap a cable lock around it and the boat while traveling to keep prying eyes out. If you go with a hard cover, make sure you super-glue or epoxy some foam...

Sorry, no decoys this year, but have a scored cylinder from the BB2 to put on the workbench. Happened while scouting for ducks the week before season opened. Arrg. [/URL] -Bill

Would love to, but we are signed up to chaparone band for the Bob Jones play-off that night.

Snap kit (snaps plus the punches) from Home Depot worked fine for me. -Bill

All, For anyone who was missing it, Devlin's duck boat specs page is back up. http://store.devlinboat.com/duck-boat-specs.aspx Take care! -Bill

Here are a couple of mine!

Paul, Great project! Out of curiosity, what type of wood are you using? I spent some time studying the plans once, and thought it would be a fun build. Thanks for sharing! -Bill

I do the same.

Greg, I think you are on track with your analysis of the Broadbill. They are great little hunting boats for 1-person and a dog, and you can go light and drag them throught the shallow muck or power up to 15hp and take them though some deep/rough water (gotta be mindful it is a 10' boat, but...

Derek posted a hot wire cutter in http://duckboats.net/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=146504;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; Thought he did a post on it at one point. -Bill

Clinton, Marine ply is definitely the way to go. World Panel http://worldpanel.com/ and Noahs Marine http://www.noahsmarine.com/items.asp?Cc=33 are a couple of sources. As was said, you can order and get it shipped. I found you could save a few bucks by picking up at the truck shipping...

Well, finally took a good look at he impeller and may have found the issue. Hopefully it is this easy. This is the 6th or so impeller I've replaced on an outboard, and it is the first one that showed obvious damage. Seems something sharp got caught between the rubber and steel casing, cut...

All, Thank-you for the replies- all the advise has been very helpful. Nothing worse than an intermitant problem. I'm not 100% sure the engine is overheating (may need to get an IR thermometer), but after it quit I took off the hood and quickly touched the head. It sizzled , so I spashed a...

Hi. I have a question for the outboard mechanics out there. On 2 recent hunting trips my 2004 Yamaha 25HP 2-stroke lost power on the way back and dropped RPMs. It died after letting off the throttle. I also noticed a huge puff of steam comming out of the rear of the engine (believe from...

Dave, Just goes to prove, better to be lucky than good!

You may want to see if you can just clean up what you have first. Does this fit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Starter-Drive-Evinrude-Johnson-Marine-88-89-90-91-92-94-/330553688355?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item4cf6890123&vxp=mtr Ebay is always good place to start looking, but a google...

Andy , I had this problem on a '89 28hp Evinrude. Starter motor turned fine, but would not engage the flywheel. Bought a new "bendix" parts kit- the gear that engages the flywheel, spring, nut and washer. Cleared the problem up. -Bill

Dwight, Assuming good bearing, proper bearing adjustment, and grease in the hub, you'll be fine. I pulled my BB2 2500 miles from MS to Washington state, and 2600 miles Washington to Alamaba no issue (sustaining 70+mph over a 4 day period). That was with same 4.80x12 tires you describe on 1"...

David, I built my Broadbill to spec (deck curved per the plans) and fit my size 8 waders under the rear deck to hunt low blind- plenty of room to spare. Used to carry 3 dozen GHG lifesize bluebill plus an electric cord reel full of 1/8" long lines under the front and rear decks, 8 G&H mallards...

Mike, I used Tuff Carve from "The Duck Blind" http://theduckblind.com/ to set some 14mm glass in some LSB Super Mag GE and think it worked great. Easy to use, carved easily, and painted nicely. -Bill
