Carl Wirtz. He posts on here some. Does good work at a very reasonable price.

Dave, Kurt Sherbine of Classic Barnegat Boats makes dodgers but you have to take it to him in Somerset Co. PA. Also Mark of MLB Boats makes a dodger for there new Chuck Huff BBSB which is very similar to a higbee. And last but not least is David Clark of Classic Canvasbacks on this site. Good work by all.

Yes James, I forgot about Carl. I believe he is in Monroeville, Salem County.................................He does good work with canvas...........................Kevin

thanks for the info guys. I just happened to notice the Chuck Huff BBSB it really does look like a higbee.

Try North Bay Canvas in Tuckerton. Dan Voorhees. My nephew is going to have one done there. Might find a contact on Crick Life. Good luck!

These are the folks that made the dodgers for the Chuck Huff boat when MLB owned it. I ordered one from them and it's the very same pattern
as the one I had on my Chuck Huff boat.


Good Luck!

Ross-Have you tried Diane Svelling? She is pretty local for you, and also may be at the Tuckerton show. I have two decoy bags I bought from her many years ago and they are "like new" today except for the mud I installed on them.

I ran one of her spray shields for a few years on a Higbee. Worked great unless you want the baby carriage style.

 

[Rossja]

I had one from Dianne, looking for more the baby carriage style as it was put.

Dave, Just make the 5 hour drive and take the boat to the guy who made the first dodger on a Barnegat Bay Sneak box.

Then the vorhees guy from tuckerton is your best bet in south Jersey.

Thanks for the leads. Follow-up question; anyone know what length oars for a higbee and if so where do you store them? I'm going to install oar locks.
