A scanned image of Megargee sneak box plans can be found here: http://duckboats.net.nmsrv.com/specs/publications.html About 2/3 down the page, called the Scaup BBSB. Kind of halfway between a traditional feather edge BBSB and the plywood panel Widgeon.

Here is a quote from a section of "Four Months in a Sneak Box" that made me chuckle to myself the first time I read it. "The vices[/url] and virtues of the mosquito may be summed up in a few words, always remembering that it is the FEMALE, and not the MALE, to whom humanity is indebted for...

An interesting historical read with some info on the origins of the BBSB: http://www.ibiblio.org/eldritch/nhb/SB.HTM Some info on traditional small craft with a section on sneakboxes: http://dragonflycanoe.com/stephens/ Some history and photos of various scull boats...

Let me clarify - my "grow your own" comments were meant to mean bio diesel or the use of straight veg oil as fuel when possible. I agree that ethanol is a lot of hype with what apperas to be little long term benefit either environmentally or economically. I must have missed Steve's counter...

No - We should grow it! The US has the land, the farmers and the ag technology to be a leader in bio fuels. If we shift our production away from crop and grain exports and toward bio fuel development we can move to some real independence from foreign oil or tapping our reserves. The trick with...

Here is a write up I did on a sunfish conversion for duck hunting. http://duckboats.net/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4447;#4447 I found that a circular saw would throw small slivers of glass fibers all over and I could feel them hitting my arms. I found a cut off wheel in a grinder...

This is a grounded and abandoned boat that is in an area I sometimes fish in the spring. There is a creek that dumps into Lake Erie just to the left in this photo. This is a required stop everytime my son is out with me. He is sure that someday he will raise and get this boat running...

The article is online now for those who may have missed it or not been able to find the magazine. http://grayssportingjournal.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=121

I'd like to see a simple line type drawing of a sneak box with a hunter. Something like this with a hunter, maybe a dog and a few decoys, but keep it simple and logo-ish, not too cluttered and artsy. Similar to the MLB logo with a sneakbox - make the sneak box a hard chine design for that...

Also consider the recent weather here in Michigan. Recently we have had a big thaw and some rain - almost every pond, puddle, creek is open and lots of fields have standing water. This means the geese can go just about anywhere and have some measure of safety. Colder weather means less...

Bronze oarlocks from Northwest River Supply have 1/2" shafts, which is bigger than most hardware store oarlocks. http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=1407 If these still aren't big enough, put in a sleeve of UHMW tube. It will snug up the oarlock and be very low friction and...

George - a quick question for you on hunting Canada from another border guy further to the south. (Downriver/lake Erie area). When you hunt like this do you make an "official" entry into Canada and launch from the Cdn side or do you just launch from the US side and boat over? I know the...

Take a look at www.stillwaterboats.com. No personal experience but i've always thought that the sunrise double would make a nice little marsh/sneak boat. (The boat on the right in the photo) The advertised finished weight is 45 lbs. Build it with more/heavier glass for the rigors of...

Wow, according to that article the only reason any of us hunt is because we don't have viagra so we could engage in a more acceptable pastime and/or because we are mass murdering sociopaths. I must be special because I find time for both hunting and the other recreational activity without...

Is he missing a layout boat too? Recent listing on craigslist for layout and decoys - E. Allens included. http://detroit.craigslist.org/spo/464721182.html Maybe your friend will get lucky.

I'm in Michigan and can remember when some of the counties did have a ban on Sunday hunitng, so even though we now have Sunday hunting the idea doesn't seem that far out. What's really surprising about your post is that your provinces have only recently have allowed shopping on Sunday. I...

About half way down the page. http://www.shawandtenney.com/wooden-rowing-oars.htm Great source for "real" (not factory) oars http://www.towerwebsites.com/websites/index.php?username=fancyoars-paddles&page=1

I'm in Westland, which is a decent suburb off 275 and Ford Rd. If I moved to Toledo I could get twice the house for the same money as here adn maybe send my kids to private high school. Monroe county would be nice, but unfortunately what makes a great buyers market there is what is making a...
