    Devlin Snowgoose Desin and Modfication

    I don't think that is the true weight of the Scaup..I have a 16 Scaup which is in the area of 275....but again, my Scaup is a great boat, love it more than my Cackler, but if I built it again I would add 8 inches of free board. For the coast area, you are going to need more free board on windy...

    Cackler/Snowgoose questions

    I love the looks of the scaup...the cackler/snow goose/honker are great boats..very safe..but my cackler is, uh, BUTT UGLY. I think the scaup with 6-8 inches of free board added would be great. Then Phil's thought of adding slope to the deck, which would be adding free board, is a thought also...

    Cackler/Snowgoose questions

    The plans I have purchased do not include options...I have played with a small "pond Box" which I double the free board to have plenty of room for 'wader feet'...that worked out well so I am considering a scaup with the free board doubled...I like the depth of the cackler...

    Cackler/Snowgoose questions

    I run a 23hp Mud Buddy surface drive on a modified Cackler, splash well with motor mounted on the rear of the boat, not inset as in the plans. I use trim tabs to control the porpoising of the boat, which was uncontrollable without them. Boat two is a Scaup with a 27 hp Mud Buddy surface drive...

    super black eagle 2 choke tubes

    I use Kicks in both of my SBEs...no matter which choke you choose, use premium ammunition and pattern the firearm to determine what ammunition puts the most pellets in the kill zone. You will not believe the difference between a quality after market choke that is designed for steel shot and the...

    Has anyone run a longtail mud motor on a Devlin boat?

    Cody, I have run Devlin boats since 1996, my first was a Black Brant II, I ran a 25 horse outboard on that boat. Currently I have a modified Cackler ( transom at rear of boat not recessed ) with a 23 hp Mud Buddy short drive, boat runs at 25 mph without a heavy load. But I had to put trim tabs...

    long tail vs shallow water drive

    Dan, here in the sunny south I generally see about half n half surface drive to outboard ratio, the long tails here are slowly going away due to the speed difference between them and the surface drive. I run a 23 hp Mud Buddy Lite Mini on a Modified Cackler ( no motor well ). Generally I get 25...

    Mud Motor on a Duck Boat vs. Outboard

    I run a 23 horse mud buddy mini on my cackler, 26 mph with hunting load. I will never consider an outboard over the mud motor. I don't know how one would run on a tdb, but then it's not designed to run on my boat. if you know someone who has one to try out before you make a purchase it would be...
