Duck rigs

[duckkillerclyde]

Personally, I think it blends in pretty good.

I don't see a black motor sticking out. The stern is to the left of the photo.

You just have to scuff it up. It's not worth it to me. It can be covered rather than painted.

I tried with a scotch bright pad. didn't really do much. I'm not too worried about keeping her 'new' looking as I built the blind too narrow and it has some gouges in the cowling anyway from trimming it all the way up.

120grit sandpaper and flat oil based brush on paint for base coat. after that, spray away

My boat while I was working on the blind. It's a 1648 Tracker Grizzly with Mercury 50hp pump





I'll try to find some actual boat pics when I'm at home.

Thereddog, not to be confused with reddog. Both are from Oregon and are on DHC.
I have invited them both over to here.

technically my FIL's boat. I would paint it but he doesn't want to, something about resale. I told him he doesn't use it now so it's basically already sold

[blackrhino]

Here is mine. 13'6" with a 18 hp Copperhead.

[Westie25]

I likes dat.

I really like that, I've been thinking about getting a 2nd smaller boat between 10ft-12ft for when I hunt alone.

Is that a four rivers?
Almost bought one a couple years ago.

[blackrhino]

Not a four rivers. They are made by a company here in Florida. 13'6" and 68" wide. With me and hunting gear it runs 25 mph. I spent yesterday camouflaging the top deck and installed a led bow light. I bought it just before duck season last year. So far I've coated the bottom with Gator glide, installed led interior lights, bilge pump and had a snap on condura travel cover made for it.

That's a barge! Post up more pics. Who makes it?

Heres some pictures of the boat I ran last year. I sold it this spring, but really enjoyed it and kinda wish I still had it.

I bought the boat, motor and trailer for $800, put about $300 into it. It was a late 80s 17 Bass Tracker hull, and 99 Yamaha 25hp tiller motor.

It was in decent shape. I basically stripped it inside and out. I build a custom rear bench/gas inclosure with dry storage. Also put a new deck on the front with storage under. The floor plan was great...WIDE OPEN.

I painted the oustide and inside with Rustoleum Primer, then Parkers duck paint. Then I stenciled with Styx-River stencil. I also Herculined the entire inside of the boat. I also added some lights on the front for decoy set up, and swamp hunting.

Its was the first boat transformation I did, and really enjoyed the process. Lotta beer, and sweat went into that boat.
