Duck rigs

[Olly]

That's my boat but without the decking.

Unless this is too personal, why'd you sell it? Looks like the perfect duck rig.

and how much did you get out of it?

i don't know about down there where grizz is, but up here that thing is a death trap

[assateague]

Why?

I enjoy doing the whole flipping thing, so I decided to sell it. I'll do it again in the next month or so. I ended up selling it for right at $3300.

If this is NCbufflehead, I think I know why.

They hunt up a little further north in the sound, and the water can get really big, really quick up there. I'm hunting the Cape Fear River, and back bays off the ICW, and river. Everyonce in a while the river will stack up 3-4 and get really scary when its falling/rising against the wind.

[assateague]

I get it. I always think that you guys hunt similar situations to me, since the land is almost identical, but I often forget that the sounds down there are a LOT bigger than the coastal bays here. And rarely am I cutting across a large body of water- if conditions get ugly, I can always hug the shore back around to somewhere safe. That being said, after being out a lot in my hybrid, I don't feel very safe in even the 48 jons. If I could, I would make a 14' hybrid, and take that bitch anywhere, but it would be cost prohibitive for what I consider a "disposable" boat.

up here you see 20-25' boats painted green and loaded with decoys. you hardly ever see a aluminum boat and when you do, they're usualy not from here.

my blinds are not very far from a private access but i usualy leave from here on the island unless it's blowing more than 20-25.

Some more pics of my building my duck boat.
The bare hull as I bought it.

Next I sanded the bottom and applied Gator Glide.

Found a trailer for it.

Ordered a Copperhead 18hp for it.

Had to cut down and reglass the transom for the proper 15" height.

Got it rigged and went for a test run.

Finished the camo last weekend.

Mounted the new LED bow light.

About a 100 other things that I have not mentioned but I'm still improving it.

Very very nice! I'm starting to really want a single man boat!

[duckkillerclyde]

post a larger photo of the boat going. It's hard to see that one.


Looks good otherwise. Not much a big water boat is she? lol

It's perfect for the lakes we hunt and for our lease. Since all our lake were all but dry it has been perfect for mud.

Although I hunt by myself in it. This new boat is like alot larger than my Aurthur Armstrong Widgeon was and they claim it will hunt two.

[duckkillerclyde]

Is it light enough to move by hand with one guy?

Do you mean on dry land? No not easily. It does float in ankle deep water so unless I run it up on the hill it will go most anywhere.
The Gator Glide makes it slide on grass and vegetation so it could be pulled off by one person if needed.

I want a momarsh with a long tail in a unhealthy way

[Olly]

You are me both, I've even thought about selling my boat for one.

I see soooo much benefit from one especially being able to drop into any river I want and go. I would go with a hybrid but the solid construction Fiberglas has me sold. Nothing to delaminate on me and it needs to be big enough for a dog.

[Westie25]

The dog thing has me worried.

Why so?

[Westie25]

Having enough room.

[Flightstopper]

Many people do it. Just have to get the dog stable in the boat.

My dog is quite small.

[Goldfish]

Just picked this beast up on lunch for $60.

I've got a 14ft boat for bigger-ish water, and a kayak for small places. Figure if a friend wants a boat, this little guy fits in the back of a truck and weighs a wopping 100#, otherwise if nobody does I'm going to camo it up and sell it in about a month for $200 to some hunter.

i gave away one of those a few months ago. they're good little boats

[Goldfish]

How stable are they? Being that skinny, it doesn't appear to be very solid, but it's also fairly flat bottomed.

You people drive on frozen water. What are you worried about stability for?

Don't want the dog to spill my beer jumping around the boat

[assateague]

Grain Belt's cheap. Open another one.

[Bufflehead]

you don't have to worry about the dog spilling your beer but don't try to stand on the side. we used it for crossing small creeks, i never had a motor on it
