Very good job. I,m sure your dad will appreciate it.

Beautiful work.

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...

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...

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.

Md. turkey season starts tomorrow. First year I haven,t gone out weeks in advance figuring out where birds were. Maybe I,ll get lucky and find a love struck Tom....or maybe not!

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...

Thats definitely cheap for complete axle and hubs.

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...

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...

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...

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.

Don,t know how deep you've inset your mounting hole on rail but can it be pop riveted with long shank aluminum pop rivets. I,d be afraid the thin plastic of those inserts would become brittle in cold temps .

Another option for holding your grassing is affixing it to plastic bird netting cut to cover areas you wish to cover. I run a stretch of 5/16" nylon bungee cord thru nylon pad eyes spaced about every 2' around perimeter of hull deck and another stretch across bow deck. Stretch a bit and tie a...

Never knew that book existed. Read & reread successful water fowling years ago and still have a printed copy of his little boats similar to pond bxs.

Cut down a 1236 jon that had a crushed transom years ago. Made it 10' and framed in a cockpit and front and rear decks with crown to them. Ribs & cockpit combing made from 3/4" marine plywood sign board that I had access to. Decked with 1/4" Fir Plywood. I did remove seats as they were riveted...

The J16 makes a good stand up & shoot Boat blind rig. Only problem is the hull doesn't like much rough water. Just to low sided & will wet you bad in a light chop. I've done a boat blind on a J14 years ago. Just wide enough when you stand to shoot down center line of boat hull doesn't rock. And...

Good decoy shelf and keeps your brushing grass out of the water to a degree when flipped down.

Years ago I switched to all Dianes bags after the Avery Goose bags I was using at the time started coming apart. Maybe the Chinese made decoy brand bags have gotten better over the years but Dianne's have been quality from the start. Still using bags from her that are at least 20 years old .

Jons aren,t really extreme rough water boats. They sit on top instead of in water and tend to be at the least a rough ride in waves . You,ll be fine up to about a 2 ft. sea than you better start learning how to read waves and approach. Head into and hand on the throttle to adjust speed , surf...
