I recently picked up a fatboy and it was missing the aluminum motor bracket. Im going to be using a longtail 6 hp on it. If anyone can get a tape on the height of the bracket I would appreciate it. I guess you can run it with a trolling motor or regular outboard or the longtail but not sure if...

I picked up 150 old Flambeau oversize Mallards from the 1980's. Guy had a barn full of them. These are huge, about 22 inches. The head reminds me of a loon with a pointy bill. They are big and that's what I'm going for. I have a spot that will be good for them. Open water. I sorted through them...

I dont know if any one else has tried this but it is the handiest tool to come along and use for duck hunting in a long time. It is a bilge pump mounted on a stick operated by a 12 volt cordless tool battery. I've used mine to pump out pits and boats and then attached a small length of hose to...

Here is one of my boats I made in 1990-91. It started life as a Gardner designed Canadian light bateau. It was lost for a whole year in the timber due to high water When i found the boat it had some damage to the sheer line so i cut it down to 10 inches and turned it into a really big pirogue...

I'm going over some recent bills i picked up and refurbishing them and came across different heads. Did Herters change the head style over the years ? The one on the right is beefy compared with the other one. Just curious. Hey Steve,i'm thinking about your old post on turning a diver head into...

I picked up 3 of these in March. They are made in Iowa . Designed for helping access tough to get at soft bottom spots. They have a nice website if you want to learn more. I bought them for that purpose but i am adding a twist of my own. I built up a pvc framework about a foot tall then got an...

I just completed the geese this morning. Old Herters full body field.just coated some herters 63,72 and Otter Decoys as well as some old Decoys unlimited bodies that are the start of a spoonie rig.

One of my favorite hunts of the year is in Louisiana where i have a lease. It is a teal grey duck and pintail shoot over fifty or so wood blocks. i hunt from pit blinds in the marsh but the ducks feel the pressure and retreat to spots that i need to walk in quite a distance. I have been...

picked up a herters goose and duck boat the other day trying to gauge the year or decade of construction. it has the aluminum track type seats instead of the molded in glass ones. i dont know which ones came first. my guess is this one. it also has aluminum gussets to hold up the side decks.

In my free time ( read epoxy waiting to dry on layout boat) I had some leftover pink foam from the clubhouse insulation project that i turned into these swans. I resurrected a swan pattern from 1992 and with a few mods i created a pair of confidence birds for this season. 4 layers of 2 inch...

I tore into the boat today and did most is the demo. I have owned this boat since 1984 and will be the second deck. It's lived partially covered most of the off season but stayed out a bit too long last season. I am thinking about redesigning the deck and combing and possibly build a fixed...
