Thank you for all the good wishes... First, Manitoba hunting... my wife found a 1997 RI Completion Of Hunter Safety, blah... so, I am good to go. Very important lesson I just learned... Manitoba requires ALL hunters to carry the certificate along with the license. If you are planning to go to...

Dear Gang, My name is Andrew, formerly of Rhode Island, now Connecticut... I haven't been on the site for several years as a new business and new (old)home renovation took me out of the duck game for way too long. I built a duck boat back in 2003/2004 with the help of Eric and the great people...

Dennis is right. Get the boat wired up - perfectly... tack weld, be careful not to move the boat. remove wires... and fillet. Fillets take a long time, mine took about 45 mins/foot... so plan accordingly... and fillet strategically. When putting on a spare tire, you tighten the nuts...

21 ??? Jeez... I'm all screwed up... I think I'll stick with posting on the Alzheimer's site... thanks Tod. The thing is a monster.... the width is incredible... I saw it when the hull was formed... do you know if it has launched? It'll be interesting to see what they hung off the back.

Jason, I owe you an apology... I read the post too fast this AM as my wife and my kids were hollering at me to get off the computer... and get in the car... Anyway, you are building the Scaup 18....... ok, now I get it... whole different boat. Fortunately, I've seen the only Scaup 18 in...

CT Boat Builders; a few thoughts from someone who has been there / done that... 1) Scarfing looks daunting, it is not ... when you are done, you will look back and say to yourself..."why was I going to pay a premium for scarfed wood?" 2) Scaup is a great boat, no question. If you are...

Eric, very sad news... one of those dogs that seemed to be in the coolest photos doing the coolest things over the years... condolences...

Great report... looks like a good bag... My son and I took a walk at Colt State Park on Sunday... the wind was honking... that must have been quite a ride... and yes that Cackler is very seaworthy... the operator is pretty good too ; )

Just reviewed the news tape, which for once, provided a pretty decent, objective story on the accident. One doesn't have to be an expert or even a smart lawyer to figure out that that tragic mishap was CLEARLY, 100% operator error and poor judgement all around... period. Cannot blame the...

Bob... we had 2 huge trees removed from our factory's property... two big oaks... that were allowed to grow without too much interference over the last 30 years... so they were straight and tall. We discovered later that the wood was sawn in long lenghts and donated to the Morgan... which we...

Dave, the gloves are an improvement... recall when we first met, you were wearing a pink speedo and a camo purse... so you have evolved... Scott, I heard your deeks were awesome out there yet again and Bob... let's face it, Bob is fun at a funeral... most upbeat guy I've ever met... would love...

Glad you posted Bob... I spoke to Morton today and he told me that he could have shot at a lot of ducks but his fat orange gloves kept getting in his way... Sounds like you guys had a GREAT time... I'll never plan trips in November & December again... wish I were there. Andrew

John, glad you checked in... I too have been out of it... 2nd job? now maybe you can afford some blue/green paint like me... ; )

Dave... I have the teleflex parts to convert your motor to console if you want them... about $200 worth, just gathering dust and taking up room... take em. I had to go the more expensive hydraulic route due to the lack or room re the small area... live and learn. John, very nice fit and...

Dave, make sure you guys grab my deeks, especially the brant and geese before the big hunt. I am envious, have fun and be safe. I'm not worried about the weather so much, it's Bob's jokes that may kill y'all. Have fun. Andrew

Phil, the Honker is the ultimate boat, especially if there is a lot of coastal fishing, etc. I think you deserve the commission. Bret, try to see all in person and the guys in this string are all very generous with their time... Devlin boats are a blast to build and own and it's no...

Bret, I should fully disclose that Robinson, Morton and I do earn a commission if you decide to order Snowgoose plans from Devlin... ; ) Fortunately Dave and I have a lot of experience together in the same conditions... our conditions are very similar to what you experience in NJ... I have...

Bret, feel free to get in touch and ask questions... For what you are hunting, there isn't a better boat for big water safety, hideability and shallow water running... Get the 40 horse, nothing less...

David... My black gilly fabric is under the workbench in that green plastic basket... just take it and use it... and try it... may as well, I won't be doing much hunting this year sadly... bunch it up, it'll look awesome in that boat of yours... I'll be around in RI this...

best hunting expose I've seen here in a long time... good work
