My input is simple - Cheap may lead to lack of flexibility and comfort. A number of years ago I bought Cabela's cheapest pair of waders and while they were watertight, I stopped wearing them fairly quickly. Flexibility to climb into and out of the boat, plus general blind sitting comfort was...

River , now 14 wks and keeping it fun!

Sleds are silhouettes separated by two crossbars providing both stability and flotation. Sleds normally built with different widths so they stack for storage. Sleds are deployed like full body decoys, either individually or ganged together. Like everything in life, they have their benefits...

Ah, where's the head and galley? Just thinking with that large of a crew there will be needs. Looks SUPER!

Can't talk about aluminum thickness but a square end is a godsend if you're going to run it with an outboard. I tried using a side mount on my Great Canadian canoe. It worked okay with a wimpy electric but when I mounted a 2 hp Johnson to use in the CT river to fight the current, it was a...

I have a 12 ft aluminum sneak box based roughly on a broadbill. I gave up on the classic spray shield and made a dodger for her. The dodger is large enough to fit a large lab under it with him sitting on the cockpit sole. I sit in front of him with my feet fit under the aft deck, my head and...

I'm piling on w/ Dave & epoxy, it's a Merrymeeting Bay Gunning Float, not a stump jumping surface drive battering ram. You don't need to breach the hull proper and it will be simpler to replace in the future if it's ever required. Scott

Vince, Just a bit of DHBP site history: When just about "everyone" was carving or foaming decoys, Chuck started to share pictures of his canvas creations. He was ribbed about being a seamstress and instead of taking offense and leaving or stopping sharing his efforts, Chuck good naturedly...

Hi Bob, Yes that is Paul in the picture, we had some good scoter shoots off the coast. Dominating my life at the moment is a 10 wk old BLM pup. We lost Jetty very unexpectedly to stomach cancer in Feb. He was to be our last canine buddy after 42 years of dog ownership. After a lot of soul...

Hi Josh, Thanks for updating your name and location. Nice location by the way! I got to sail around there in the mid 70's, (pre GPS) fog was so much fun! And had a school buddy with connections to a camp on Isleboro for some scuba diving in the Fall. Add in a half dozen days sea ducking out...
