I have to say that we have a great time running the back river system in the Excel 15' powered by a 6000 hyperdrive, I am fortunate that we can also switch to a 14' Gehnew with a 5 hps long tail :)

Cheech, thanks for posting this information - seems that we are a very reactive society. The door opened and the movement is on. New York is pushing for increased regulations as well. And from what I hear regarding Biden he (they) have an agenda and will "listen". These will be interesting...

Pat, This is truely great stuff. The old pictures are awesome. It truly shows the passion that these guys had. Just think no gor-tex, thinsulate or neoprine. How did they do it. That just shows how tough these guys were. It brings back memories im certain in all of us. I have just started to...

Well like I said when I first started this thread. I was originally looking for an old duck skiff to use as a mantel on my fire place. Since the first one seems to be a diamond in the rough and is to good to cut up. Here is the plan "B". I picked this skiff up. It is a small 11'7' single man...

Posted a couple pictures of the Mallard King. As you can see the cedar interior wood seems to be in fairly good shape (I know the surprises happen once I would take off the old canvas). Shawn

Thanks for the intro -I'll pm I'll take some pic's tomorrow.

I am new to this site and just purchased a Duck Skiff that I had initial intentions to use as a decorative piece in the house. After getting it home I saw the manufatures tag and did a little research. It is a Mallard King duck skiff. The canvas skin is not in good shape but all of the...
