I have a 20V wet/dry shop vac that I have used to remove the water that did not drain through the plug, but this unit is pretty slick! https://mellif-tools.com/products/mellif-for-dewalt-20v-stick-transfer-pump-cordless-720gph?variant=44474543472829

I have all the fullsized tools in the garage, or boat/shop/tent. But Maria's car also resides in the garage, so everything is on wheels and tucks away. This makes a quick cut or a quick drill a PITA. My decoy shop is small, and already over crowded. I typically can only do one activity at...

My 1905 scooter was damaged when a tree out back uprooted and fell. It drove one of the tent frames through the deck. I slid a board between to prevent any water leaking into the hull, but it failed to keep the mice out! The grey layout suit was trashed. Fortunately, the deck damage...

Folks, I have been building up an inventory of molds to continue the traditional decoys..... I have most of the Herters molded, all of the TJ Hookers, one of the VADAM, etc. Working for my retirement side hustle! Anyway, I am in need of a decent Herters pintail both in 63 and 72. I have the...

Some may recall the rocking geese that I made in 2022 for both grandsons born in 2021. We were again double blessed in 2023 with 2 granddaughters. Not wanting to burden their parents with yet another large item just yet (baby cradles, doll houses will eventually come). I decided to make them...

As I am getting older, and my circle is getting smaller, I am finding that I need to be more self-sufficient. A couple yrs ago, I invested in the receiver hitch hydraulic lift to pick outboards on and off without a hernia. Now I am noodling out a bed winch set up. Last night I picked up a...

I can't believe that on the 9th of the month there is no thread yet? I have dozens in the works.

Any suggestions for an inexpensive easy blowing call for the boys?

I wear a large, but found it a little too snug, so I ordered the XL, well that is too big! Bought a hat stretcher and now my Large fits fine. I may have used this XL for a single hunt. I did wax it when I got it as I did them both at the same time. I see on Filson's site they are on Back...

I picked up half a dozen unfinished H&H divers. My hunting partner in VT has some finished decoys he acquired some yrs ago when WingSet closed up. These are ground up yellow cork with a binder, pressed into a mold it appears. My thought is to seal them with some oil duckboat paint I have...

This coming weekend, I will take my SBDB north to the SSWA Fall boat show. This past weekend I greased the hubs, and checked the air pressure on the trailer. Put some more grass on the boat and loaded up some gear to bring to the show. I have a few parts from Brian Garman's hull to pass...

I know Salt Hay is traditional on a South Bay Duck Boat, but where I will hunt is fresh/brackish water, and out East on the salt marsh. But even out east, the areas we hunt are varied backgrounds, not pure meadow. So, I determined to start this yr with a mix of materials. I bought some...

With the SBDB I bought came a beautiful 12ft shoving oar, and a 12ft pushpole with Herters foot. I soaked both spars in BLO and would like to use at least the shoving oar. I will build a spot on the trailer to haul the oar when trailering but stowing it on the hull during the hunt is a...

With 2 new grandchildren in 2021, and 2 more in 2023, I suspect this might be the last 1 man boat I mess with. As you already know, I found a SBDB back in March, and have been doodling a plan for a couple months. Last week I took a "ME" week of PTO. No fixed agenda, just a week to do what I...

I need to replace the motorboard on my SBDB. I have a piece of Ash that is 2x12x36 that was part of a stash of materials and tools I bought years ago from a guy giving up on his strip canoe project. Would ash be an acceptable wood for the motorboard, supporting my 15hp?

I finally got a little caught up on my outdoor chores this weekend. I got the new carb installed on the leaf vacuum, and managed to get up all the leaves on the areas of the lawn I am allowed to cut right now, as there are flowers in some areas that the bees need right now. One of the projects...

I tried to set the 15hp Yamaha on the South Bay by myself. The sponsons/hull prevented me from getting close. When I reached out with the outboard about 18 inches from my body, I could not control the weight and it got twisted on the motorboard. It took Brian and I some effort to get it back...

Anyone keep a stash? Will search Ebay and Amazon too, but thought I would ask here first.
