Craig, your dad will love that boat!! I have owned an estuary and now have the 15? Garvey and absolutely love it !! Dave builds a fantastic boat with exceptional plan to detail. Best of luck to you and your dad on the upcoming season.

Davi, I had an aero marine sneakbox, great boat. I purchased it from a duckboats member. Some where in the old for sale section of this site are photos of the complete rebuild of this boat. Good luck with your sneakbox.

Jode , I feel your pain. I just lost my 14 year old lab a week ago Tuesday. Holly was a rescue we got at 3 years old. She ended up being a fairly good retriever but a fantastic pet, It's hard to say goodbye. Fist time in 30 years I haven't had a lab in the house. .

Joe, have you thought about one of Dave Clark's garvey style duck boat? It's 15' long has a very roomy cockpit and hides extremely well. I purchased one in 2020 and absolutely love it. You can hunt two people easily or hunt alone. Check out the video on estuaryboats.com, you can see if in motion...

Thanks. I checked them out. There's one on Craigslist that is way out of my price range

Glenn, check out David Clark at Estuary boats. He builds a beautiful garvey. I purchased one last October and hunted two people out of it this year. I had posted some pictures on here a while back that shows the boat.[inline B7C4B983-3C6F-4AF2-8E8A-8C93407FBCA1.jpeg]

Bill, here is the information I pulled from Dave's site. Estuary duck boats. Com

Phil, it will be a while before I get all the grass off. The flapper boards I built aren't the greatest compared to the fiberglass flapper boards that Dave builds. The ones I made may not look very professional but they worked for me until I purchase a set of fiberglass boards. I don't think the...

Bill, the hull is fiberglass. My deck is wood covered in fiberglass. I believe Dave offered the boat in all fiberglass or the wood deck like mine. As far as Dave's information, if you google search estuary boats there is the website for his boats and contact information. As I said in previous...

Dave was doing well when I picked up the boat. He was starting another build. I enjoyed going to his shop and talking about the boats he builds and was building. Dave is a passionate builder of his boats. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a boat like mine or the estuary that he builds...

David builds a really great boat. I'm really enjoying using it. I have push poled this rig into some skinny water and have had a great hunt. The garvey has a lot of room and hunting two people is not an issue. The 30 hp Mercury is plenty of power and even with 2 people & decoys the boat is...

Here it is the day I picked it up after having the new motor put on

Virginia's duck season ended for me today. I had purchased one of David Clark's garveys and it's been the best duck boat I have owned. After having an estuary I wanted the ability to hunt with another person and this boat did just that. Thanks Dave for building a fantastic boat!! I look forward...

Good afternoon, I followed Steve's lead and made a donation through PayPal also. Thanks to duckboats for all the useful information.

Mike, if you love your estuary why not buy one of David's garvey style boats ? I recently purchased one and it will be the perfect 2 man boat. Plenty of room for your decoys, dog. Full blind or flapper boards . I'm putting a 2020 Mercury 30hp tiller on the back of mine. Just another avenue to...

Clinton, congratulations on a great hunt!!! Great boat, I hope you are enjoying it.!!!!

With the wood deck, I like the "old school" boat builds using wood for the deck.

I just picked up my new David Clark Garvey. I had previously owned one of David's estuary' boats which is a fantastic boat but I wanted a two person boat and the Garvey fit the bill. David's attention to detail on his boats speaks volumes to his art and craftsmanship. It was well worth the 8 1/2...

Rogers sporting goods makes a fantastic line of breathable waders. I went from neoprene to these and love them. Removable liner and much more freedom of movement. And they are not as hot as neoprene in the early season.

Dave, welcome to Virginia and the Virginia department of game and inland fisheries. I also live in Virginia, near Richmond. If you are new to the area and would like to talk waterfowl hunting in Va. give me a shout. Good luck with getting your boat registered.
