I've been looking. So have a couple of buddies who are in the, uh, same boat so to spreak.

I have used the Navionics App (Now called Boating USA) for er. Started out free and then slowly started charging money. First time is was a one time fee of $5. And then fees just kept coming. They now charge $50/year and the functionality has gone way down. I'm looking for a replacement. I use...

If it were legal to do so, I'd send you down my Ruger 10/22 with a nice scope on it. Don't know what the laws are for loaning rifles out however. Happy to do so. I do think a .17 would be much more effective. Dave McCann owns one and he swears by it Mark

A large can of Tannerite might blow up a Beaver Lodge.

Went out to a spot on some land I have sole permission to hunt. Got there and there were already hunters on it. I needed some humor that particular morning so I asked if I could join their group. Reply was the old friendly finger and a few choice words. Decided more fun was needed. Got out...

Depends upon how you hunt. If you hunt a lot of mud. I don't think a surface drive is as good as a longtail. Reason being is you can use the longtail to get you unstuck whereas a surface drive you can't. Surface drive is usually slower than a longtail running the same hp motor. Mud Skipper...

No. Maybe noise limits but nothing more. Changing out a muffler on a small mud motor usually requires rejetting or more and most people can't handle doing that. And a gun shot or three makes more noise than a mud motor. Going to ban gunshots next as they would break any local noise ordinance

In the words of Arnold - "I'm Back". Mark Wo is now history and the Mark W you all know and love has returned. I must have screwed up somehow - again. Thanks for the help Eric.....

Never thought of this. Thank you for the input. I'll do some more research. Mark W

Thanks for the input. I may be in a different spot than you. Already have a 14' boat that is just more than I need. I also have 2 other duckboats and access to one more. I've been thinking about going smaller for the past coupoe of years and this year it is time to make the change to...

I wasn't very clear. The current 15hp is a short shaft outboard motor. A 1996 Evinrude that only has one tilt option. That tilt just isn't enough to get me through shallow water. My current boat weighs in at 250lbs. That is at least 100lbs more than some of the boats I have been looking at...

I currently have a 14' boat that works well but I want to downsize. The last few years my hunting has changed and dragging this boat around is already a chore for me. I am trying to find a 12' semi V jon boat (is this what they are called - has a pointed end and not a square end) Thanks for...

I have two other duck boats. A poke for paddling into small places and a Hoefgen that I have a mini longtail for already. I really want to be able to sit in a chair and not on the bottom of the boat. Done that with the old Alumacraft ducker I had and do it with the other two boats I have...

All good questions I should have put in the original post. 1. Plan to trailer it. Already having issues lifting my 100lb flipover ice house into the pick up bed. 2. Absolutely want to be able to stand and shoot out of it. 3. Want to have a nice hair with a high back in the boat 4...

Thanks Carl. As I mentioned below, I probably hunt 30 days a year and maybe 1-2 of those with a companion. I have to start thinking about when I hunt solo more than when I might hunt with someone else. Mark W

Considering I hunt 30-45 times/year and only 1-2 time with someone else, I am mostly considering a boat for solo hunting. It has to be light and has to have a shallow draft. I don't hunt muds and weeds but just shallow areas. Lots to learn here, thanks for the input Mark W

After a very frustrating season, it is time to rethink a few things. Mainly my biggest duckboat - 14ft Alumacraft V hull with a 15 HP long shaft motor. Have had this boat for years and has worked well. My favorite place to hunt is getting to tough to get to using an outboard motor and that big...

I have been a member here for as long as the site has been around. Made many friends here, hunted with a few of them, Ice fished with a few, camped with a few and shared stories with many over the years. Seen a couple of good buddies from the site pass on to a better place. One person in...

Have you looked at the regular Poke or the Poke Maxi. I have the 12' regular kevlar version. Weighs 22 lbs and can carry pretty much everything I need. Wish I could have found a Maxi. I would be worried that the Micro won't have enough room for you and everything else. Just saying Mark W

20 ducks, maybe. That's about it. Horrible season this year, worse I can recall. Opener was great and a couple of hunts after that and then no ducks. I haven't shot a duck since early October I am guessing. Sat in a couple places and had ducks swim into the decoys but I have a thing about...
