Thanks for the input. I appreciate the need to scout and familiarize hunting new areas. In both the instances where I sustained the damage, I was running on very familiar water that I had been on at O’Dark Thirty for several years. Just plain bad luck. ☹️ Not sure why that all was highlighted...

I wish we had a community ed on outboards. Would have saved me a ton of money

Merry Christmas 🎄 God bless all in the new year.

I am sure it was a rock by the damage done. I run rivers so obstructions change every year, other than wing dams.

Yes I have thought about a jack plate that breaks away. Not to Show my ignorance but not sure what a chart plotter is.

I am the most unlucky person when it comes to motors. In the last two years I have taken out my lower unit twice hitting under water obstructions. I was thinking maybe a surface drive would help but I don’t know if it would work on my Duck Wrangler DW-15. I know there is a ton of knowledge on...

I have a 2004 DW15. I love this boat! Stability, hides well and perfect for two hunters. Love the rehab Steve.

This is a great read about the storm! We had a similar experience many years ago on the Missouri River near Niobrara Nebraska. We arrive on a warm sunny fall day, over night the temps started to drop and a NW wind got up. We set up the next morning on a backwater just below a bluff at sunrise...

The hull looks awesome! I like the timber pattern. With grass over it, will be tough to see. I would love to build my own hull, but not in my future. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Big Foot B2 floaters are rock solid. I did glue my heads on though! They did have an issue with coming off at times. I have my decoys all Texas rigged. I put a 1? conduit thru eye bolts along the front of the bottom shelf on my DW. When I go to run across the lake or up River I hang them over...

That is a sobering story! I hunt alone on occasion but prefer to have a second person. Have had plenty of close calls, especially in my younger days. I am sure the family appreciates the closure as stated.

Got it. I see the zip ties now. I think it would be great to hunt out of a boat I built but don?t have the tools to build one myself. I do tie my own flies that actually catch fish! That is about the extent of my creative side 😅

Looks like a great start! I have never built a boat so forgive the question but what does stitched mean?

Check?s in the mail!! Cyber mail that is.

Did you get out again to check the floor? Really paid attention today and really no rattle from floor,although water was pretty smooth today. Birds were absent like the wind.

Nicely done sir! How are the water levels? Heading over in about three weeks for the annual father/son hunt. Bob

Ok Googled it, does it turn more brown in the fall? I can see why you are concerned that raffia may not have the same ?look? as the grass but I think you could get close in color and vary the shades of raffia to give it depth.

Being a Midwesterner I am embarrassed to say I don?t know what Salt Hay or Spartina is. I would think if you went on the J Sterns website you could find some raffia that would match the color you need. Good luck.

I attached a ghillie blanket to the blind canvas and then raffia, the whole thing will roll up and I made some quick release web straps to hold the blind when rolled. I have trailered it at 75 mph for 4 hrs with no issues. Deploys in about 5 minutes when we get ready to hunt.

Wow, what a memorable trip you will have. My Grandparents have been gone for several years. I never got to go on such an exotic trip with them but treasure the memories of fishing in Canada with both my Grandfathers. Best of luck with work (and COVID). Will look forward to hearing about the trip!!
