    12' Poke Boat

    That boat is the kevlar version and weighs in a 22lbs. I have one and love it. Been hunting out of this boat than any of my other duckboats. Mark

    24 degrees with a WNW wind this morning

    Hope that squirrel was dispatched with a shotgun and no other potentially illegal arms in the boat with you. Mark

    Bummer of a morning

    Check is in the mail Dave and Steve. Didn't get the motor back today. It is getting spark and gas. . Does not want to turn over at all which suggests timing is off or spark is insufficient. Pin on the flywheel is good. Carb is spotless and reeds are good. He ordered a new powerpack as this...

    Bummer of a morning

    Got up early and headed out to do some huting. Got to the rampo, boat in the water and everything loaded. I was the only one there and it was going to be a great morning. Until I tried to start the motor. Would not turn over at all. Gas line is brand new, gas is fresh, new plugs. Ran a few...

    This is it. Looks safe as hell. Guy could barely stay upright with that thing on his back. Sorry you could open it. Was a good laugh. Mark

    Tod O. Solved you trout fishing problem

    Perfect idea for running shallow water fishing areas. Never mind the peace and tranquility of fishing some remote stream somewhere. Glad I could help. https://www.facebook.com/reel/285978121048541?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&mibextid=0NULKw

    needs camo

    I" always thought the bestr way to hiunt geese was to go play a round of golf. Put the shotgun in one of the club holder slots and youll have your limit in no time. I was out on Wednesday. More toscout than anything else. Didn't bother setting out decoys, hiding my boat or myself or...

    Who is going to be the first?

    While we are fortunate to have a marina on our chain of lakes, most lakes in MN and WI are on smaller waters with no marina. The grid structure isn't so great either. If this State, and many others, force folks to purchase EV cars by a certain year (MN is pushing it in a few years time)...

    Who is going to be the first?

    Faster charging. Normal 110V might take a long time. The way our boat is used, one battery pack wouldn't last the morning and then it would need to be recharged. Just guessing here but charging an EV with 110 takes forever and a day. Mark

    River running in small boats....

    i have found trying to push pole up a river/stream is next to impossible. Depending on the speed of the current, it is one push up nd 7/8's going backward to reset your pole. Then, if you push crooked, the boat turns sideways and now you have other issues to deal with. I don't know how small...

    Duckboat.net Family Feud game

    Quite the list we've put together. I've done all of them more than once. Here were my mistakes. 1. Little to no gas. I remember coming in after the last hunt last season and saying I have to get some gas but will wait till next season as the boat isn't use in the summer. Got to the landing...

    River running in small boats....

    You probably already know this but if you don't get up on plane, you will be limited to the hull speed of the boat you have. Typically less than 7mph if I recall. There is a calculation on the web somewhere I am sure. I use my old Hoefgen Duck Boat and a homebuilt longtail motor on mine to...

    Took out the big duckboat yesterday to go check out the place I frequently hunt. Name me the top 5 things boat owners forget to do, forget to check, or forget to bring along on that first outing of the season? I successfully did all 5 in one outing. I'm so proud of myself. Mark

    Who is going to be the first?

    I just cant se these being widely adapted for one reason other than what has been mentioned above. Many boat owners (larger boats like or 20' speedboat are kept on a lift down in the water. I can't imagine what it would cost to get the high powered electrical cable dow to the boat and then I...

    Who is going to be the first?

    I'd be worried about range in the great white north. Drive out, set up, hunt for a few hours, drive back. I know cold kills the range on EV cars and trucks. Would suck to run out of electrons in the cold.

    Who is going to be the first?

    A couple cans of rattle paint and I think I see a future for this becoming a duck boat. I'm so far behind on having things ready for next weekend I'm embarrassed. Should be able to pull it off but time is getting. It's not like I have t k own about this for a year or so...

    Anti hunters win in Australia

    I keep saying every chance I get - Voting has consequences. Severe consequences in some instances. I'll provide a couple of examples in regards to the latest in MN. If it offends anyone, too bad. The Republican candidates took strong stances on abortion. No abortion for any reason at all...

    Going to happen somewhere this season. Have had it happen to me more than once. How would you all handle this? https://fb.watch/mJsXlN-L5_/?mibextid=MnnKW6 Mark

    New MN gun control law takes affect today. Question

    I frequently have more guns in the boat than people hunting. Always carry a spare. And yeah, I'm not going to worry about as my MN hunting is a few days a year and Wisconsin hunting is significantly more. and if I lent my gun to a neighbor and he shoots someone how are they going to prove it...

    New MN gun control law takes affect today. Question

    I believe this was a version of another proposed law introduced in the legislature but this is not the law that was passed. I believe the law that was actually passed is SF2909. I found the law but it is an omnibus bill of several hundred pages long. And being as how the government doesn't...
