Not to be that guy...but is your chosen outboard rated for a lithium starter battery? My Yamaha 40 hp was only rated for lead acid. RM

Duckboats.net member Worth Mathewson has a great article on punt guns in the August issue of Wildfowl magazine. I found his article quite informative from a historical standpoint. In fact, I enjoyed reading it so much that I purchased his book, Big December Canvasbacks. RM

A skilled craftsman such as yourself would probably best be served by using your time to create a female plug and hire out the fiberglass portion to a shop with a chopper gun. Having said that, I have really enjoyed this thread. RM

Rob, Did you happen to buy your tig welder at harbor freight? RM

Epoxy fillets for added strength? RM

Aside from carving a musky lure decades ago, I have not carved since. This thread caught my attention because I thought of penetrating epoxy immediately. The great thing about epoxy is that it also doubles as a primer and as porous as cork is, should penetrate well. Just a thought... RM

No, really, they would be for my mom! I never thought about asking the publisher for them. Good idea! RM

Absolutely beautiful! Do you sell your work? RM

During the interview process, I had the pleasure of talking with Mike Marsh for close to two hours. We had a wonderful conversation and you just knew this is a guy who has a penchant for telling stories. Unfortunately, Wildfowl magazine is considering ending Mike Marsh's Boats and Blinds column...

While not the cover of the Rolling Stone, I will take whatever I can. Now I just have to find five copies for my mother! RM

This past winter I had submitted an article to Wildfowl magazine for the Boats and Blinds column by Mike Marsh. Lo and behold it got published and is in the August equipment issue. My original manuscript had numerous mentions of duckboats.net which were apparently censored, save one. Also in...

I've never used tung oil but have had great success with Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil refinishing a Ruger 10-22 rifle. Very easy to work with and cures/dries faster than tung oil as I understand it. RM

A guy could get around that with some thin ferrous sheet metal and double sided 3M/Gorilla tape to create a docking station. RM

My wife Heather, a rabid Vikings fan, believes it is a genetic defect common to all Sconnies. RM

Decalls are ALWAYS a good idea!

Not trying to guilt shame anyone, just my own comfort level on retrieving game. By my own estimation I guessed dogless pheasant hunters would lose a third of the birds they shot. AI has it pegged higher: Without a dog to assist, hunters lose an estimated 40% to 55% or more of the pheasants...

I love duck hunting and all but if I didn't have a dog I probably wouldn't go. The biggest problem that I see with this device are birds that don't fall in open water making retrieval all but impossible without a dog. Hell, I even abstained from pheasant hunting until I got my own dog. Not a fan...

Proof of concept! Trying to decide what is better for me; the hard wired solution or Mark W's movable Harbor Freight. Definitely a great idea and necessary if you hunt alone. RM

Rob, That's a loaded question. My opinion is no one can visualize what you want better than you. I think heaviest is better, but more importantly, strive for a design that permits driving with the blind up and in place. Big time saver at zero dark thirty. RM P.S. Sewing is easy to learn if you...

Mark, Is there a way to receive sales notification of just that light? RM
