    Question about motor

    Personally I wouldn't go over the 25hp even if you have the required steering to qualify for a 40hp motor. Of course that's me. I had a a similar boat in an Alumacraft and it had a 25hp tiller motor. It got squirrely fast on a bad day!

    All federal waterfowl and wetlands research proposed to be eliminated from USGS

    To me this just sounds like another attempt at finding more money savings by DOGE and eliminating an additional 10,000 federal employees. Whether there is a legitimate reason for ending this research or not without more information published in coming to this conclusion, once it's gone, it's gone.

    Cartsen Mallard Sneak Boat

    I had a Mallard for a season. It's heavy and drafts a bit more than I thought it would. Not a boat for one guy to be dragging around.

    Freelance Ontario

    I'm hearing and reading more problems with crossing not only into Canada but as well as coming back to the US. My son traveled to Canada for his job and has said even before Trump was elected it was getting harder with crossing into Canada. I was born in Canada to US citizens but have a Canadian...

    I Am Content With My Fleet, But I Wish I Had Bought....

    Through the past 25 years I've had Carsten boats of all shapes and sizes, Momarsh boats, not one but two Four Rivers Refuge boats, two Fiber dome boats, two Aqua Pods, kayaks, canoes. Yes, my name is Ed and I have an addiction! Did I mention I bought another Grumman 12' V bottom after this past...

    KS Gov Vetos Proposed Non-resident Waterfowler Restrictions

    I hunted SW Kansas a few years when I lived in Arkansas. I hunted turkey and quail. I got a few of both but ducks? No ducks where I was at. Not sure what changed since I left but the hatred for out-if-staters seems to remain. Now for the golden age for me was the late 60s thru the 70s here on...

    Sneak box boats

    I'm glad to hear that you still have it. All my boat plan files were lost in a flood in 2019.

    Sneak box boats

    This boat from Jim's page is interesting. I had a set of plans from Mechanix Illustrated that I must have sent to 2 dozen people called the Barny 2. If this isn't the boat it's as close as I've seen. That was sometime between 2005 and 2010. I don't know if anyone ever built one.

    Need feedback on 3D printers- hobby usage

    You have been given a lot of good information here. A lot of things to research. You might remember my son Kyle and his days of building CNC machine centers and the decoy weight molds he made. He's since moved on to Lazer printers and he's waiting for delivery now on a large format engraver. In...
