Well, today instead of heading upstate to my treestand for opening day of deer season tomorrow due to unforeseen circumstances, I finally got the time to take my new to me 1 yr. old Duck Boss 15 out for some bonding and a shakedown cruise.
I took it for a cruise before I bought it and was impressed and liked it enough to buy it. However if today is any inclination of what is to come well all I can say is I'll be spending a awful lot of time on the water and marshes this year.
No pictures yet as she is still naked but as soon as she has her grass on I'll post up some pics.
Since before I bought this boat I've been lurking on this site trying to garner as much information as I could about what I needed in a duckboat besides good friends and dead ducks.

I'd like to say thanks to everyone for always posting helpful and informative information.Hopefully someday I'll also be able to share some info that will help a newbie to becoming successful duckhunter

I haven't owned a 15 ft. boat in quite some years so it s gonna take a little getting used to ( first thing is learning how to back the d@^n trailer straight down the ramp). Luckily this time of year there is much of an audience sipping coffee and watching me.

Also to make the event even better, While at the ramp I got to meet and talk to one of the members on this site.
Lastly any advise or helpful insight would be greatly appreciated.

Please post pictures before you grass it up. Like to see changes that might have been made over my older model. What waters are you running the boat in?

Congratulations! I am glad you like your new vessel.

Better yet - you, Sir, can write! Keep those reports and tales coming.

All the best,

Kevin - this is the only picture I have right now. I will try to post more later this week. Is there anything specific you'd like to see. This is a 2015 year model and not the updated 2016 year model so the transom is not as wide and there is a little less flotation in the stern area. Missing from this picture are the trailer guides I installed and bearing buddies on the wheel hubs.
My primary use will be on the South Shore waters. Western Suffolk to Western Nassau counties. Where do you run your boat?

Steve - Thanks for the well wishes and the compliment. Coming from you it is greatly appreciated.
