This is the last sneakbox Bob built with a cedar deck before going to marine ply. This boat was built for display in the Thirsty Mallard restaurant in Waretown, NJ. I purchased the boat when the restaurant closed, brought it to Bob, and had him paint and rig it for gunning.

I am the only owner of this boat since its time in the restaurant. It was my main hunting rig for many trouble free years before moving to a Roy boat. I kept this for use in the ice, etc. and have never used it.

There are many videos of this boat on my YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@CFalicon/videos

Here are photos from today, April 29th 2025 and a photo of it grassed ready to hunt from a previous season.

Great boat! Makes me wish I weren't building one!

The end of an era !

Definitely a very sentimental rig for me, hence keeping it for so long but I am fully entrenched in the church of roy these days.

Very nice looking boat and documentation of how they are built. It must smell great with the Atlantic White Cedar.

Another fun tidbit, pictures of me gunning from this boat were published in Ducks Unlimited Magazine in an article by fellow duckboats.net member Larry Metzger.
