I don't have any info other than what you have here. The Old Guide Duck Boat looks to be the same mold. When Thomas first bought this boat, Duckboat Specs was the first place I looked. Interesting tidbit, I'm actually in there under Mash boats with my Duckhunter. 20 years sure flew by..

Since starting this project, we've located two other Madoc boats. One of them belongs to a gentleman in Mass and he has the same boat as "ours." It's an H Model. Thomas actually flew to Mass on business and while there, met this gentleman in person. Very hospitable and showed Thomas a great time, taking him crabbing and fishing. The duck boat community is awesome.

Just the other day, another gentleman posted on Facebook with an "S" Model. This one is rigged for sailing complete with factory mast. That one appears to be in great shape. The s model posted on Facebook is serial 65-005. Thomas's boat is 65-004. Pretty cool coincidence. There are obvious variations and models, but I can't find any literature on them.

Yes - a line or two of webbing across a spray dodger (or spray shield, as well) cannot hurt.



All the best!

Wait, you are in the specs section that is over 20 years old? Are you this kid?

I think the resources section needs an entry for the Madoc boats. Can you help me gather up the info you mentioned above and any pictures that exist? If we strike while the iron is hot we might be able to tuck away info that someone in the future will find valuable.

Yes sir, be glad to collect what info and pic I can.

That is my Son. He turned 30 years old a few weeks ago.

This is/was me. That boat was credited as being the first customer completed duckhunter. I had it for 10 years before passing it on to a neighbor when we moved.

I did not realize you had been around this site that long. Jeez, the things I miss. Then again, A LOT of folks have been here over the years. Please send me a PM with any info, pictures, links, etc. you have on the Madoc. I will create an entry in the Resources section for it.
