Sorry to disappoint but checking today I find that canopy and loader assembly is just to buried and up against the neighbors fence to be able to take a photo. My father was the builder as I was just a young guy that loved to fish....which he taught me. His ingenuity, skills building with...

It's actually out back on the canopy. He used bicycle sprockets for the chain drive gears. The handle was a simple crank that slipped over the end of the shaft and had a slot in the crank that then slipped over a key in the drive shaft. There was a flip up dog onto the top sprocket ? that was...

Fond memories .. Back in the 70's the Eide boat loader was the new thing. My Dad built a copy for both our PU canopy's. Eide had both hand crank and motorized. Ours loaded hand loaded our 12' and 14' aluminum car toppers easily on the canopy's. Very handy device.

Eric you seem to be a tireless worker. I'll be darned if I "ever" had that much drive in any one area let alone ALL the things you seem to have going at once. You are my hero when it comes to projects. 👍 BTW great job as always !!!!

You don't need all those ? Same pitch? Possibly .. Send one off to your prop repair and have them change the pitch. Don't remember how far they can go but years back had it done for less than to cost of another.

Really nice. Much more "wildlife art" type decoy than mine. My wood working skills are less than my mechanical skills (which aren't that much either) but my attempts at removable head/neck are done by using Al tubing that is a slip fit between sizes...actually designed for collapsible radio...

Beautiful. I'd say nicer than any I've made. Ive had trouble getting light weight enough material so they float as nice as yours. I use Western Red Cedar for my bottom board and various white woods for the head and neck. Keeping my head and neck more silo style than yours and they still set...

Brad B - yes you were..😁 I believe that was the first time we met but for sure the first time we hunted together. BTW two sleepers on the shelf now..just saying 😉

I've hunted some of mine in past years. Trouble is they are really popular with friends and relatives so I keep giving them away and making more. ;-). Some now get removable head/neck with the idea they'd be easier to transport but I have t hunted them yet.

HDave I had the suck duck type before I made a wire/canvas rig. They worked fine except in high (really high!) wind where they (all- plastoids and canvas) tipped over. I'm talking big wind in flat country ..say 30 with gusts higher. But to your Q killed birds over 3-6 plastoids with 6-8 silos...

Eric I received a notification on Feb 1 that my support had expired and I was able to use PayPal and send my $$ to the site. As of Feb 3 both PayPal and my bank show that the funds were delivered to Duck Boats. Last time I looked my status had not been upgraded to my donation level. That's not...

I had not hunted since Jan 2018 but a couple of friends hosted my son and I (we are both Vets) out for the youth, active duty mil or Vets hunt yesterday. Was a great day. In the last hunt for me in 2018 I had two Cans in my bag. First two birds for me yesterday were 2 Cans...not a double. We...

I still remember the last fight I picked .......and lost. Lesson learned. BTW - not duck hunting.

Eric I can find a straight "donation" spot and I can find my account upgrade spot but I don't see how to maintain my currant level of support which expires on 2/1. Do I have to wait until it expires to renew at my present level? Also is PayPal still accepted as payment?

Very cool👍

Beyond words....almost. I've not been able to watch the whole thing even though I've tried several times but I'd say I guess to each his own. Some of it is familiar.. ducks, boats, decoys, dogs, guns but .... not for me.

Fond memories.

And how did you do Brad?
