    Help With Cancelling Poleboat

    Not knowing width of cockpit I,d suggest a blind wall similar to the way TDB made them for their small boats. Cordura sides w/grass loops and a top rail that mounts onto uprights on 4 corners of cockpit. That way you could design bottom of blind wall where it meets combing to follow that curve...

    1989 Arthur Anderson Blackjack

    Probably AA,s kit boat that they sold plans to. Factory built boats have always been fiberglass thru out hull and cap. They hide good, run good with about 20 to 25 h.p. motor. Draw about 4" loaded. Really the worthiness of the hull in this case depends on the skill of the builder so do a lot of...

    New member with first sneakboat

    You might want to weigh that boat and get an idea if foam under floor has become water logged comparing present weight to weight from manufacturer brochure. I Bought one new back in early 90,s ,sold it and bought a jon as kids matured. for added room. Bought it back about 10 yrs. ago and...

    How to Repair Burlap Decoy

    Simply sand area a bit to include area around damaged area . Apply mastic and burlap. Fill the weave on the burlap good with mastic. Let dry completely, prime & paint. This is assuming you don,t have to build up foam to proper contour in damaged area. Can,t really tell from pic.

    Question about motor

    Thats the trick. Age of hull is 2 stroke era. Less weight than current 4 stroke motors by size. Look up some specs on motor weights of 2 stroke 40,s of the 2 stroke era and compare by weight to current 4 stroke motors weights. The matching weight will give you your current maximum motor size. 4...

    Mag Mallard Head source

    If I recall Mighty Layout Boys use to sell a head to work on super mag decoys that might work. Maybe a mold cast off those. They are long out of business but i,m sure their heads still exist as they are about the toughest i,ve seen.

    Old Herters

    I normally keep some lengths of thin electric fence style line cut into 16" lengths to insert thru head bolt hole with a hook bent on each end and just hang the decoys to dry after painting or restle coating. Allows full body coverage all at one time. Hung Out in the sun speeds up drying...

    Old Herters

    The titebond 3 done with ground corn cob is a tough finish. I ,ve done 2 coats glue, non watered down, with 2 coats ground cob on a few dz. Herters and Fowl Fooler's and they've held up great for many years. Bought the ground cob in a 25 LB. bag from same company Fowl Foolers obtained theirs...

    Cartsen Mallard Sneak Boat

    I,ve had a Bobcat in past and currently a Hellbender. While these style hulls can be paddled with a properly sized kayak paddle I feel the easiest propulsion is standing using a push pole. Especially once loaded with dog & decoys. If you,ve got long distances to paddle i,d look into something...

    Turkey Season

    Well I got up at 4am with everything laid out to go. Fed & aired the dog and thought you know maybe Monday would be a better day, especially being as i,m going to be hunting on public ground. Less people monday maybe.

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

    Like yourself I don't need another boat. But also i,ll cruise mkt. place and other sites looking for a deal contemplating the places I could use it. More than likely the one i,m looking at needs work to some extent so that's also rolling around up there. I guess I just can't stop looking for a...

    Setting up a sneakbox

    In your rig I would think a seat/board configured to sit across gunnel combing would get you high enough to see over a dodger in up position. Thats assuming that area will hold the weight. I used a plastic milk crate with a fitted Plywood top and a throwable seat cushion on top in my Blackjack...

    Avian Flu?

    Not long after the Snow Geese showed up in my area I started seeing dead buzzards around the river park I walk mornings in. Dying snow geese is what they had been feeding on . Parties had started field hunting the Snow Geese and cripples end up along the river park borders. Its pretty normal...

    Advice on sneakbox - AA Broadbill or MLB Wigeon

    Fellow I bought my Black jack back from had done something similar with a brown canvas base fabric with grass loops that snapped on to hull on top decks. He hunted it layout style with a grass mat pulled over himself in cockpit, no dodger. If doing it myself I would have used Cordura Nylon...

    Diane’s Custom Bags

    She was posting a sale on line just yesterday of some bags, motor covers, layout blankets and other odds & ends. Trying to liquidate remaining inventory I assume. All marked down pricing.
