I occasionally break ice with my 14 TDB in northern New England. I put some extra layers of fiberglas on the hull where it meets the ice for peace of mind. I take it slow and watch behind me. I don't want to get trapped in ice sheets that close behind me and refuse to break under the push and...

I'd like to find a reasonably priced BBSB project boat I can bring back to life for my grandson. He's not yet old enough to hunt but will be one day. In the meantime, I'd like to put a mast on it so he can sail it until he gets his hunting license. I'm in Massachusetts, willing to drive to...

I like my TDB 14 classic. It hunts two guys and a dog, my 45 pound AWS. Things get tight when setting out decoys and moving about in the boat, but once seated and in place, it's comfortable. I think I'd like to own the 14 sea class for the extra beam when moving about, but I've enjoyed the...

I m as not to say without use of an anchor.

I use 10 foot long 1x2s that I buy at HD. I sharpen the ends and put them through loops I tie on to my TDB grassing rails. These allow me to stay out in the current, facing the decoys, with use of an anchor. I hunt in New England so I can usually push the wood into the mud. I bring an extra one...

Eric, I just received the cork you sent along. Many thanks! I'm going to have some fun! Lou

Thanks!

Steve, Yes, Eric from the forum is sending a block tomorrow. I've learned a lot from these exchanges and the forum. I can see now that 's it's not enough to have a spread of decoys, boat, dog and shotgun. I need a workshop ... Lou

thanks!

Here are photos of the ones that are most beat up ...

okay, will do.

Steve, Thanks for that -- fascinating. I didn't know any of it, except that cork had some connection to Portugal.

Eric, That's very generous of you. Many thanks. Here's my address. Let me know what I owe you, postage, etc. Again, thanks. Lou Ureneck 83 Ivy Street No. 22 Brookline, MA 02446

Steve, This is very helpful. I checked your previous posts and looked at your website and work. It's mpressive, for sure. By acclimation, you seem to be the forum's go-to guy on decoy repair. Thanks for your thoughts. I will post some pics.

I'm no cork expert -- though I'm learning a lot fast from this forum -- so I can't say. I can say that they are all LL Bean coastal black duck decoys.

Good tips, thanks. Appreciate it.

I'm searching for him and his posts now. Thanks.
