Now I've got to get busy building a blind for her. Not much time left before the season.

Congratulations Olly. You must be like a kid in a candy store.

If you find yourself sitting in it, just to sit in it, don't worry...I would probably do the same.

Nice looking rig. Looking forward to seeing the film of you hauling ass in it.

The one in the picture is getting replaced by a 15g tank. Thanks anyway!

I will, some of the spots I want to get to could be 30-45 min boat ride into the delta. Maybe even longer, that place is huge!

I was just going to say don't pack the extra weight if you don't need to - every pound counts. I have gone as far as 22 miles round trip in my boat on less than my 6 gal tank. It was getting low, but not scary low.

I figure either way I'll be carrying an extra 5 gallon can, so why not save on the space? It might end up being a 12 gallon tank. I will be calling a fab shop here locally to cut and weld me a gas filling hatch on the front kind of like the excel boats have.

3Leg,

go down the page a little and you will see what I'm planning on doing with the fuel tank for my boat.

Thanks for all the thumbs up guys! It's nice having a real duck boat and not one I slapped together. I should have just spent the money years ago.
