That's the one. I think he had a thread dedicated to all the mods he did for a customer on a Duck Invader 13, as well.

Tim, @Steve Sanford I believe designed one for someone similar to that. I tried to find the post but couldn't locate it.

Put in my last hunt for the season yesterday. Arrived at spot #1 at 5am. Immediately started to get ready. Luckily, I decided to check the ramp before loading the boat and unhooking everything. Good thing I did. The NNW wind from the night had blown all the ice onto the ramp and the water was a...

Kurt, As @jode hillman mentioned, they are fiberglass built from a mold. You would need the mold to actually recreate the boat. Some folks have used their imagination and adapted something similar. I have a buddy who took an old ski boat hull, and basically made a Roy High Box/Duck Invader...

Richard, you can do a few things. You can do like Brock said and use the push button pins. I personally bolted mine on with SS bolts, a washer on each end, and a nylock SS nut. I use bungee cord run from the end of each flapper to a small hook on the underside of my rub rail. I trailer with them...

God willing, Thursday for me. Everything is locked up here. Hoping at least something opens up with the weather we're having today, tomorrow, and Wednesday.

Nick, to add on to what @tod osier , its God awfully hard to hide a big boat. I started on divers, but then quickly went to puddle ducks. I'm sure as you know, hiding for wary puddle ducks here is rough. Big boats with higher blinds have a hard time. Even then, it's not easy being a solely a...

That was actually the first thing I thought about when I saw you guys got snow. Lucky for you guys, it seems to be mostly conifers and smaller deciduous broad-leafs. About a decade ago we had a freak large snow storm here in NJ in early October with all the leaves still on the trees. It was the...

Nick, you're blessed to have that hunting crew. One thing I'll say, there's a fine line between big enough, and too big. I know with puddle ducks, here in NJ, 17' is pushing it for the skinny water. One really nasty problem you may have is also getting in and out of areas to get into spots. For...

I have a buddy that buys the VP racing fuel here in the cans for a decent chunk of change. He's running a 2-stroke though, and it's all pre-mix. That, to me, isn't a bad option. No mixing, no hassle, all ethanol-free. It's very expensive though. Ironically, I have one of the only VP gas...

Ouch. 6 gallon tank, 22L so I suppose at $4 a gallon that's $90 (rounded). I suppose it's still better than having to pull apart an FI system. Looks like the road trip to PA might be worth it. Take my son to Cabela's while I'm out there.

This is always how I've seen the guides around here work them in.

That's good to know. Still a bit of a drive but not as far as the PA locations.

God bless. I wish. I wouldn't care if it was $7 a gallon lol. I only go through maybe 6-8 gallons a season. Money well spent.

The problem is the ethanol draws in water. My rig only sees use from October-January. What I'll usually do is at the end of the season, I "summer-ize" the motor (lower unit, plugs, fuel filter, etc.), then I'll siphon all the gas from the tank into my truck. Sometime in June-July, I'll throw a...

Yup. Stuck float needle. What happens is the needle gets stuck allowing the bowl to overflow with fuel.

Yup. I get mine from the local auto parts that can put in an order for the USA ones. The manager told me certain size bearings/races/seals are only made overseas. That could have been the case with your snowsleds. It seems like, at least for now, the ones for my hubs are made here in the USA or...

Ahh going to replace the tire. That works. I was never good at matching wheels to tire section widths but I'm assuming that will fit a 4" wheel? Curious because I probably need to replace my tires soon.

Yeah that's the way to go then. 145/80-12. That's a long drive on gravel. Right with you on replacing them. Most of the 145/80-12's I'm seeing online are D rated. The E's come with fancy-shmancy wheels. Something like you'd see on a trailer with a Donzi on it lol.

I think you may have 12's on there based on the pic. They look like load range C as well. Those are decent tires. You can go up to 5.30 in terms of width (not necessary) and an E rating which is way, way overkill. If you do opt for new wheels/tires, I'd just go with another 4.80x12 in load range...
