Eric, I'm out on Long Island, 30 miles from Montauk. Covid has started up here again and filling up the hospital again. Try to cool it a little, my buddy got it 3 times, really took a toll on his body. Stay healthy.

Dave, agree about not cutting the oar. If you look at steves boat, I mounted my push pole under the flap board attached to the hinge block.

Dave, how about a two piece shoving pole. Brass or bronze coupler? Like a big cleaning rod. lanyard attaching both sections to prevent loss.

I hunt small marshes mostly, use 6 mallard / black decoys with two field mallards on the marsh. If I hunt up near John L, I bring a dozen brant [ very few brant out my way ].

Looking great Dave. Decoys going in the boat or a rack?

A real shame. I realize it is expensive to run the museum.

Whats the story with the Ward Museum now?

Measure once, have a discussion, then cut, maybe...

Dave, takes guts to paint a new engine. Looks great, great stencil job. My nephew stenciled my SBay entirely, bow to stern, could have hunted it with out grass. I still use burlap potato bag over the motor to break up the outline. I dip it in the water so it doesn't blow in the wind. Bags are...

Dave, never liked batteries and salt water. I put in 12v bow and stern lights, bilge pump and under deck lighting. Couldn't remember to shut then off, then I had to change batteries if I remembered to bring them? Wrapped the stern lite in nylon camo cloth [ calelas ]. Lite shines thru very well.

How will you mount the push pole and oar?

Tough to find a gunsmith to work on fine doubles. He did a impressive job.

Congrads Dad, love those yamahas and brown dogs.

There are rental companies for RV near anchorage airport. Rented one years ago and was very happy, fully supplied [ pots, pans etc ]. They pick up at airport, have maps, points of interest and shopping for gear. Don't remember business name. Takes a lot of planning as it a great distance between...

Would be nice to see some duck hunting gear Made in USA again !

Dave, nice work as usual. Great site, learn a lot of great ideas. I locked the motor clamp screws with a short chain to a s/s thru both for security.

Steve, didn't Wildfowlers produce one?

Steve, what did you use to plug the transom holes? Epoxy / micro balloons?

Eric, great auction site.

Steve, restored a manasquan duck boat in the 70's and made the motor mount out of laminated cca using two part epoxy. It is still in decent shape. My southbay motor mount was done with laminated marine ply in the 90's. I coated with west system and painted with lou tisch paint, it's not good...
