The more I keep reading about all these new boat builds and restorations, the more I want to move back to someplace with ducks and build a Devlin Broadbill!

Beautiful.

Most interesting paint job I have ever seen on a duck boat! How’s the wood? As long as there is no rot, shouldn’t take much to get her ready.

Very cool! Looks much nicer than the black plastic battery box I did something similar with years ago!

Made it home today. Tampa is a mess. Our neighborhood is a mess. But we got really really lucky. Again. No real damage. Flooding from 12” of rain in 6 hours came within inches of our lowest floor. Few fence panels down and broken posts. All our papaya trees fell. Limbs, twigs and lever...

Inside Ring camera shows the living room is intact. That’s a good sign.

The eye went in just south of Tampa Bay. We actually had a reverse storm surge. Surge south of Tampa Bay appears to have peaked at about 8-10’. As of 4:00am today, we still have power. Our street light is still on and our Ring system is still connected to our WiFi. Front cameras show no trees...

Thanks Larry. This is an outstanding community, I greatly appreciate everyone!

The forecast continues to be very bad for Tampa Bay area and the areas to the south. The wind field is predicted to begin expanding today, Current models show the eye making landfall over Manatee County, just south of the mouth of Tampa Bay. While this may reduce the amount of surge in Tampa...

We all have one of those friends, dont we?? LOL.

Paul, we live in South Tampa, in the center of the peninsula south of 275, north of McDill AFB. A lot of properties were flooded in Helene just a week ago. Kevin, depending on where you buddy lives, he's taking a huge risk. I've never heard of looting being an issue after hurricanes except New...

Thanks to everyone who has posted here and sent me PMs. My family is safe. Its going to be a stressful 48 hours as we wait to see what happens to our home. I will keep our DHBP family updated via this or other threads. Prayers, good vibes, positive karma and/or stump dances will all be...

WOW!!! That is one beautiful boat!! Thanks for sharing! And welcome back!

I will PM you.

It is now at 180 mph. Expected to be 120-140 mph when it hits Tampa. If this forecast holds, this will be "our Katrina".

Thanks Eric. I have to say my normally optimistic self is not optimistic at all this time around.

Like noted, they may have already given the tag to someone else. I know that they are limited by USFWS on how many tags they can can give out each year. So their hands might be tied at this point.
