Hey all,
It’s been a while since I’ve been enthusiastic about the upcoming season. I lost my leg 9 years ago so it slowed me down a little and I stopped hunting ducks as much as I used too. I covered the boats up and was about to sell them this year until a couple of my friends inspired me to keep them going. They know how much I enjoyed duck hunting, and were concerned I’d just give it up all together. Well, they put the wind back into my sails, and I uncovered the first boat. It’s an Aeromarine 2-man which I’ve owned well over 20 years. I use to hunt with a dog, but they have passed on (would love to get another CBR next season) and if anyone knows that watching a well trained dog working is as much joy and the hunt itslef.
I saw a few guys posting a lot of information about the history of this boat, which I did not know, thanks Anthony Babich, Steve Sanford and others for the history.
Here’s a photo of the uncovering. I did an inventory list of what I need to do and what I want to do before this season. The engine is getting professionally serviced, and I’ll be working on the trailer and boat. When I work I forget to take the before and after photos but I’ll try my best.
Wish me luck on this journey, I hope to stick around more, God willing.
