    Dodger advice

    This is the original configuration. We redid the top piece after I hunted and found it low. I can't find a current picture handy. I have the webbing with clips at each end. I can loosen the webbing, unhook one end and collapse the dodger. You can barely see a dowel holding up the lower...

    Dodger advice

    On my BBSB, the dodger actually goes beyond vertical. Under tension with webbing it supports a hand hold for running the boat standing. I can loosen the webbing and lean it back to hunt, offering better visibility. But when the wind is pounding, and it is raining, I can pull up over, tuck...

    Question for the TDB or similar owners

    We hunt a 14SC on Lake Champlain. 2 of us and a dog is snug. Not much room for decoys. We stash decoys on the floor under the side shelves and have gunnel bags fore and aft on both sides. Like I said, with a couple kids and Dad, your good, but 3 adults would not be a frequent situation that...

    Question for the TDB or similar owners

    SC, especially 14s, are hens teeth... IDK how many were made, but they are rarely seen for sale. They hold value. If you are saying kids, and not kid, I would be looking for a 17ft. The 14 is a 2 man boat, maybe 2 man and a dog, but really tight for 3

    Last Week of the Season: Who's Hunting?

    Hoping for thaw this week to get out on Friday, the last day. Ramps are locked up this past weekend, and with the tide, the ice is a PITA if we could get out. Will fight it regardless on Friday, as we have all off season to untangle the decoys!

    Homer Decoys -looking to buy

    Bruce, what are you looking for? I have some diver bodies, puddler bodies, and some lifesize bodies on hand. I might be able to part with some of them.

    Pouring Decoy Anchors

    Checking with my daughter, the metalurgist.... I know that slow cooling results in large grains in the material. Larger grains will be weaker for bending fatigue.

    Greenhawk neck weight mold

    This is 2 dozen for $73 with free shipping! That is a very good deal. Less than $3 each. If you can do it cheaper, I would be surprised. I am always scrounging lead and have a stockpile, but it takes hours to mold and propane to burn to make that many weights. There is a sweet spot on the...

    Advice on sneakbox - AA Broadbill or MLB Wigeon

    Many yrs ago, I had a plywood garvey in Vermont. I added oarlocks and had 10ft oars. I could row standing and walking and really move her along.

    Any advantage to a Doel Fin on non-planning Sneakbox outboard?

    Well, then maybe I should at least keep one that fits the 15hp. I know I can't use it on the South Bay, but it might work on the Sam Hunt BBSB, though, that might only be sailed from here on out with the South Bay being my solo hunting rib.

    Any advantage to a Doel Fin on non-planning Sneakbox outboard?

    Paul, I have a couple that I have accumulated over the yrs. I never tried them myself, assuming it would just attract more weeds and add to my frustration. Should I bring them this weekend? Or in October?

    Great South Bay Scooter

    Just finishing up some repairs on my Dodge and Krowl, will take it to the boat show in October... These pics are from when I first restored her some yrs back. Threads on both the original work, and recent repairs are in the archives.
