Best place to buy the 1000 or 800 denier Cordura Nylon is Ebay. Comes in 5' widths x what ever length you desire. Lots of different camo or plain colors to choose from. Usually ships out of a mill in N. Carolina

Got a talking to by Game Warden a few years back during early teal because of no Registration or life preserver at a Wildlife area impound. Little 10' jon I had put a trolling motor on to travel a bit of distance to where I was going to hunt. Area is only knee deep at best and hadn,t given...

Completed loading those 1 oz. #4 2 3/4" Bismuth loads a while back. Great patterns thru a Trulock Imp. Mod right out to 40 yds. Looking forward to trying them out on ducks this fall. Love shooting that little G2.

Sounds like if I start shopping for a used 14 I better be looking at a hull from the 90.s forward then.

Something newbys at breaking ice never take into consideration is those bigger chunks of thick ice when hitting motor can wreck an aluminum prop if your not careful.

Just last season I watched 2 kids in a 1236 aluminum boat trying to break out thru probably 4" of ice . Starting out at an ice free ramp with a bubbler and then down a channel that progressively got thicker heading towards open water in main channel. That channel freezes in thick due to limited...

An electric wench on your trailer comes in handy as well as sufficient oak boards to use as a ramp. Carry the come along as a back up! 3 or 4 6" sections of PVC pipe to roll things on .

Its been my experience that stand up to shoot stability doesn,t start till 48" bottom width in aluminum boats. Of course the wider the better. Now just general riding stability 44" is fine . The rounded chines were made for mud running in the Go Devil boats.

A little of both fresh & salt Steve. I know the techniques as i,ve broken plenty thru my years . Many, many years ago when ice was more frequent the little 14" Steury I used as a boat blind would require a bow repair each end of season due to ice cutting the Fiberglass but that v bow cut ice...

Anthony, has the classic 14 always had the kevlar reinforced hull? I remember it in the ads from the old L.L.Bean catalogs but didn,t know if that continued thru out its production.

Always wanted one of the 14' TDB hulls. How well , if at all, do they break and inch or two of ice? I,ve broke plenty in different hulls so not really concerned with techniques, just if hull will get damaged severely? Doesn,t happen often in my area but of course its the best gunning if you can...

That 12' Creek boat without the Battery bx in middle has tugged at my "need one " feelings for a while. I believe they're Roto Molded so should be fairly light weight. Just about perfect to piggy back off a bigger boat.

Someone on here years ago made push pole shafts from Bamboo. If I recall they heated the shaft and what material weaped out made them waterproof. Neat way to make a push pole. Can add any foot required to it. I've shied away from closet rod after one broke on me and became a pungee that almost...

If you build and decide to cover with Cordura Nylon Ebay is your friend. Usually there deals on there buying Cordura buy the yard. I've built several thru the years for various boats and you want someone who can sew. Fortunately I've convinced my wife to handle that area after I design and cut...

Commercial blinds by Beavertail & Mud buddy work good. If you hunt with a dog you'll need to add a dog door in beavertail. If building yourself build something along lines of Mud Buddy style as its easiest to construct. The important thing on any of them is to have your brushing close in over...

So now you need a Little marsh boat to piggy back on your motorized duck boat! Something that will push pole easily.

Been probably 8 years since I used it but at the time my agent didn,t flinch. I just told him I needed to be able to tow my boat while my pickup was in shop and they gave me a f150 4 whl. drive with receiver./ I used my hitch bar.

Love that feather detail

Rental thru insurance with a trailer hitch. Been there and done that during duck season.
