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...

My boat expert friend called this morning to point out one thing that was missed, or, wasn't articulated well during the previous postings... Foam in the floor is a great way to counteract a hull strike, i.e. flotsam, a mooring stick, a rock, etc... a poked hole (as opposed to a crack) in my...

I do not understad what you are saying. So if you have 3 flotation compartment in the boat you built than you have 3 places were you will have root from what you are saying. There is no way water can get to the compartment under the floor. I have replaced foam in a few boats that were made the...

So... I signed up for a hunt with "Morton's Guide Service And Day Spa" today... there are two pics here... one was supposed to be of a magnificent sunrise, but the camera flash spoiled that... the flash also scared about 12 buffies into the air too. We had a great time... my old dog made...

My oldest son Will loves hunting, it is one of his favorite things to do in the world. He has challenges and sadly will never be able to carry a gun and he doesn't have much stamina so he gets worn out easily... Suffice it to say, i can't take him duck hunting in the cold weather as it's...

So... spent the holidays with the inlaws... great people. Told Mother in law that I bought a .22 for the youngest (10 in January) and that I will have it under lock and key, blah... She brought me to a room in the house where her oldest son used to live about 35 years ago and he still...

My son and I met him at the ramp as any good hunting partners would do. Congrats Mr. Sport. Andrew & Will

Tide gap was double what we're used to... something about the moon, etc... been to this place a million times and it has NEVER emptied out on us - until yesterday. Moreover... and you can't make this up... we went to where the stream empties into the bay...(landed there in the dark). We...

Ok, so it's not that famous, but every year Morton and I choose an unseasonably warm day (today was one) and scout the bay for brant, blacks and other edible species. This year, we invited our friend Mike. Mike just purchased a "Broadbill", and camo'd it up recently. It's the most cancellable...

So... brought Mr. Tennis Ball (my AWS) hunting for his first time to way-the-hell-up-there Maine for Grouse. First bird was shot dead on the road Maine-paper-company-road style to see what the AWS would do after I released him. He stayed sitting and after his name was called he literally...

I'm going to throw the computer through the window in a minute... Thanks, Andrew

Here is a pic of the gas shelf arrangement. As we discussed on the phone, the Snow Goose isn't the most beautiful girl at the dock, but the boat is efficient in terms of storage, etc. The bow holds a floatation compartment and behind that is lots of storage space. I used to hunt from a boat...

I remember reading a post that you made a year or so ago about sharpening the edge where the transom meets the hull by adding (back) epoxy, etc. I was having a big problem with water running up the transom and into the engine well. I added some sharp small wedges and I kept them sharp, I did...

I relaunched the boat this weekend with the helm and hydraulic steering.. what a blast. Anyway, I sanded the hull down and repainted... I must have taken a 1/16th or so off the wedge program because my boat porpoises now...It's not a weight distribution thing as the helm sits forward, and it's...

Take a look at this clip... I couldn't imagine. http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-36765 I've been through huge blizzards and the electricity goes out... but I couldn't imagine this, I really couldn't. Andrew

Folks, For motors that have remote (steering wheel) steering... do you have a friction control as well? Or is the friction removed? I am working on the new setup tonight and any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Andrew

Tod, To answer your question... Last weekend I installed a 3" poly pipe from under the deck to the splashwell - directly to the transom top where the motor is hung. This pipe will hold the teleflex tube, electric (throttle/shift) and gas. The motor is hanging from my garage joists, so I...

Dear esteemed folks who know everything... After running the boat for almost 4.5 years, I am nailing down some adjustments re changing the boat. I'm hunting less and less out of the boat now so I use it mainly for transportation to hunting spots along the coast. I am enjoying sitting on...
