Sanford Gunning Box?

I think Steve has hit on a good point that I've thought for several years, especially when I see hunters pushing what I feel is the limit for various watercraft. The point being that not all watercraft are built or designed to be used in all bodies of water. There's a difference in hunting a flooded rice field in Louisiana, or a marsh where the water is 3' deep, and hunting a large reservoir or bay where the water is over 30' deep and freezing cold, and whitecaps are a distinct possibility. Just something to keep in mind as you consider where you intend to use a certain watercraft. Wading out of the marsh after a capsize in water that's 3' deep is a whole lot different than fighting for your life in water 30' deep at 22 degrees.

Wow! I haven't checked in for a while. Thank you for all the posts, info and advise. I do like to build boats, but I only have use for so many. I'd love to build one from an old, proven design, but then modern construction practices get in the way (stitch and glue for one). I'm not sure what I'll do next. Just spent 2 days in nasty wind in my little marsh boat I just finished, with my electric cheater hung off the transom. I'm still tired for some reason? Thank you all. And especially for those archived plans in the resource section!
