Thanks for the feedback Chuck. Oh, I see you replied to my other post too...I'm just over in Oshawa...almost neighbours. Regards, Jeff

Lots of good advice on the medical side already here. But, I want to let you know we're all feeling for you and your hunting partner. Whatever choices you make will be in Alex's best interest - just think for a minute what a waste the time you two had together would have been if you didn't...

Just wondering if anyone's built a Devlin boat here in Southern Ontario. I'm just east of Toronto...I'd love to meet with someone who's built or is building a boat to go over some of the pitfalls to avoid and so on. Regards, Jeff

Back on track to build the Scaup! I've got the frame for the portable garage up already then I'll cover it. Build the support structure, then start scarfing... but a few questions are coming to mind. Do I go with a long shaft or a short shaft outboard? I've read that I should have the motor...

We had a great day this season just before Chistmas...10 Buffleheads, 2 Goldeneyes and a Merganser. My dog Koda retrieved 12 of the 13 through the 'slushy' water and waves, then I took him to the truck to warm up. The day started at -14 degrees C then warmed up to a balmy -10 degrees C. Boy did...

Has anyone tried 'splitting the difference'? In other words, move the transom back 1/2 the depth of the sponsoons. My thinking is that you could then have a small(er) splash well and a better (forward) weight transfer to help with planing out, hole shot, hiding the motor etc. The overall...

Hi folks, I'm building a Scaup this year with my son and was wondering what you all thought of the Evinrude 40 ELH E-TEC? Dealer's to call me back to let me know whether it's a tiller or with controls. Tiller is best I would assume? I definately want electric start and electric tilt/trim etc...

Thanks for the replies folks...just got back from the deer hunt and haven't been able to read/reply till now. Not sure yet whether it'll be a two or four stroke engine but do know that I'll have to re-think the built in tank and what I'll put in the chosen tank. Really appreciate the...

Hi Rutgers, I run a family plumbing business. We're located in Oshawa, Ontario...I feel your pain with the 'handy-man' as we're a big G.M. town and, unfortunately, there have been a lot of lay offs recently. It's really a shame for those folks directly affected and I do feel for those who...

Hi all, I'm going to be building a Scaup in the new year and I'm getting things lined up. While discussing the build with my Dad and some friends at the deer camp last week I mentioned that I wanted to install a built in gas tank. My Dad (and another buddy) expressed some concern with...

Hi all. Just recently received my Scaup plans and have been scouring over them with much delight. Plan is to assemble the materials over the winter then set up a portable garage behind my actual garage in the spring. I'm really looking forward to this first ever build with my son (and...

Shermie, I'd love to see your decoy hauler design too if it's possible. After you get all the patents in line and so on...lol These forums are so helpful with all the different ideas that people are kind enough to share. Thanks, Jeff

Ray, Considering the fact that I'm a plumber, the soldering is no problem...I'd appreciate your either posting the design or pm it to me...please. Thanks, Jeff

[/url][/url]hey duck toller, My wife and I went to the emerald isle for our honeymoon in 1994 and I purchased a great wool sweater while we were in Donegal...I've used it ever since, it has worn very well and it's been worn for duck hunting, deer hunting, to work and even in more civilized...
