Great shots!

Congrats on a great hunt! Enjoyed the read and the pics!

Looks like you could easily shorten it up or otherwise modify it to suit...

Here's an interesting one: http://www.butlerprojects.com/boats/duckboat/index.htm

Just wanted to drop a note to say thanks to everyone for all the advice, ideas, and inspiration as I get my build together. Im moving along and one day here will be able to share the progress y'all have helped me make. With three little kiddos and a job, finding free minutes to post pics is even...

Definitely in the pull start boat...pardon the pun. Hard wired would let me put a couple floods on the bow...hmmm...

I've read here of some of y'all using the battery powered led running lights in lieu of permanently wired in lights. Pros/cons? I can run wire now if I'm gonna....

I used to install these for a living. I never cared for the big chunks of repeating pattern in the print. It's all I see when I look at a Camo wrap. Gotta think it sticks out to birds...then if you brush in well, it might not be an issue. We did not offer our usual guarantee on longevity...

Beautiful. Love the soft look the texture creates... Maybe one day...got my hands full for now!

That's some serious drive for a young pup! Good girl!

Hey Kurt, since Mr Sanford believes my hull won't plane, and you have a 15 on a displacement hull....how has that worked out for you? Thanks for your advice, Steve. I've never felt like I really need to go fast on cold water in the dark anyway...displacement hulls seem like the safest way to...

Gorgeous shots of what is unquestionably my favorite duck. Thank you!

Hahaha... Anyone who dares inhale one of those....whew! But I do like the flavor and the smell...I'll be sure to keep downwind of your position, good sir! :-) I was, however, referring to the gas fumes from the can right by my ole noggin being trapped under the dodger. Haha... Vented, sealed...

My build has taken a turn with the recent purchase of a 15hp Evinrude. Hadn't planned on an outboard so soon, and certainly not one this strong. Fuel... Motor weighs 75-ish pounds & a fuel tank adds an extra what....30-50lbs depending on size & fill level? Gonna booger up the trim in my...

Finally got round to posting a couple pics of the back end of my boat build. When coupled with the second pic showing the rocker in this hull, you get a feel for the hull shape. I'm not sure if it will plane or not. And I wonder about porpoising. I'll find out soon enough... I went ahead and...

Steve, it is a semi-displacement hull, and my build ended up with plenty of rocker. I'm out for the next 12hrs or so, but will try to get some pics up tomorrow. I can imagine it sort of planing in that high bow, plowing fashion...but that stern does tuck on up pretty significantly. Carl, the...

Motor buying time! I've found a guy with a number of operational motors in various horsepower ratings. I'm finishing up a 13ft x 50" wide Spira Marsh Rat, a semi-v sneakbox design with a displacement hull. I'm just guessing, but I'm thinking it will finish well under 150lbs. I want...

Very educational...I think there's a lot we can learn here... And I agree: Best use of a drone yet! Haha...

Thanks for a great story and such artistic photos of those beautiful animals. That is a blessed hunt!

Thanks for sharing that. Fun Hunt!
