I'm going down to make a hunt and visit with Mr. Dale after Christmas. A full report will follow.

I built a barneget bay duck boat with Jim and it is a great boat to hunt out of and one of the most sea worthy duck boats I have ever hunted out of. I would recommend one to any serious duck hunter.

That design seems useful in many places where there are no rapid currents. My Au Sable River boat is copied from a design used in the 1890-1910's to carry supplies to the logging camps on the Au Sable and Manistee Rivers around Grayling, Mich. Today's boats typically are about 23 feet long, and a width across the square bottom of about 28". Original boats were basically made from 4 long planks. Today's boats are from 3 sheets of plywood

I built a Marsh Rat, but I really wanted a Barnegat Bay Sneak Box. It works well though I certainly didn't save any money building it.
