If I wasn't leaving Washington to relocate to Florida I'd have to have that floating rock. A rig of full bodied Harlequins standing proud with floaters swimming to it. Heck maybe a flier. Or ten.
Whatta rig. Probably a good thing I'm moving
Sure makes me wish I was there. Been too many years since I've gone
Paul- to answer your question, yes. The two hole BBSB is designed gunner and dog. The dog sits behind the gunner in his/her own compartment under cover. Marty is a really nice guy and takes pride in building his boats.
He has a website and makes two different hulls (planing and displacement).
Also for a little bit of history on the Highlands box, the canvas is set up to shoot over the bow as that's how they were originally designed so the dog would be behind you. They also had fold down forward decoy racks for a totally unobstructed shooting lane.
It is a bit of a PITA to pull a sneakbox up on the meadow backwards though. Also makes it difficult to go chase down a cripple if need be.
I had an original a few years back now, great little boat and fast.
And this is what one of Marty's looks like all dressed up!
