What's next, Robo Wife?

Neal, I just purchased a 7" Garmin Echomap UHD2 with touch screen and maps for inland waters. It was spendy and has way more features than I will ever need. The main reason I purchased this model was for the touch screen and mapping/chart plotter capabilities. I also elected to purchase the...

Dani, Thanks. What were your impressions of the boats that your dad made stability wise? I can swim but don't necessarily want too. I've always been a canoe guy so this will be a learning experience paddling something so narrow. RM

Agreed. Last year we hunted Nebraska and farmers there are paid to leave stubble until the following spring and allow walk in hunting. Complete waste of money. RM

As a new duck hunter, the "GoodOle Days", mean little as I have nothing to compare my experience. However, I do have some observations to share. First, the birds we are hunting are clearly not dumb. In the pre dawn hour before legal shooting, the ducks are quite active. The amount of ducks that...

Unbelievable. Sometimes an individual will attempt to insult me for my fussiness by saying something along the lines of, "Well, this isn't rocket science". Just goes to show that sometimes the people doing the work are clearly NOT rocket scientists! RM

A shirt or hat with the website logo?

An irrefutable law of the universe is if you want to get something from others, you have to give something first. We have so many members who have generously shared their knowledge. I was impressed by that from the start and it is one of the reasons I joined this forum but I think we could take...

Question: Is it the forum platform that is dying or has there been a subtle shift in demographics that is causing a lack of interest? We are largely a Popular Mechanics generation and boat building is maybe not as popular as it once was. Maybe we need to adapt as well without losing our soul. I...

Eric, Perhaps a storefront where members can purchase a cool hat or shirt with duckboats.net emblazoned on it for free advertising for when walking around events such as a DU, Delta Waterfowl or Pheasants Forever convention. Also, I have said it once but I will say it again, we need a political...

Dave, Thanks for finding that out! Looks like a good fit for me at 165 lbs. The fiberglass is in reasonable shape with one small area of delamination. In talking with the owner, I learned that the builder spent a year on its construction. I will likely give it a good sanding and a 4 oz layer of...

That is what I thought. Now I just need Steve Sanford to tell me what I just purchased. 🤔

While out for a walk with Berta this morning I happened upon a kit built homemade kayak 15'9" long with a for sale sign. Knocked on the door to inquire but nobody home. Eight hours later I got to thinking about this little boat and thought about inquiring about its history and maybe getting to...

How much?

Hey, you got it out; sounds like a win!

Carl, Just curious, were you successful in extracting the broken bolt? The left hand drill bit idea sounded pretty promising. RM

Steve, Now that is a pro tip if I ever heard of one! Never did it occur to me to use the scrim squares to achieve symmetry although I do believe that I came pretty close. Yes, it is well worth the modest cost. Just out of curiosity, what fabric do you consider ideal for dodgers. Cordura works...

Judging by the looks of these beautiful calls I am thinking that I would be better off sticking with building duck boats. I really had no idea of the precision necessary to craft a duck call. My hat is off to anyone with that level of artistic ability. RM
