Measure "twice" cut "once".:) Hope that helps Harry.

The boat turned out wonderfull and we can't wait to see the results of her maiden voyage.

No matter how many times I cut, it's still too short!

I seen it in person just the other day. Not knowing anything about boats, id say he did great job. Just hope he has enough fiber glas on it!:whistle:

WOW!!! I'd say it looks good from 2 inches. Finish work on a duck boat is well not to nessary. Looks like a ton of fun. Would you come finish my bathroom? ch When duck season ends of course.

Calvin,

I'd sure like to help, but to save a lock of your skalp hanging as a decoration from your brides blouse I'll respectfully decline.

Harry

Thanks, she has all ready been tapping me with a coo stick. ch

Nice work Harry. Bet it doesn't draw more than 3 or 4 inches; ought to get you where you want to go.

Yes indeed- from a "Chainsaw Carpenter?"
 

Fine piece of work- I fiberglassed a custom 2 man layout boat a few years ago- and I have a modified sneak box copied from the Barnegat Bay design- courtesy of Norm Strung's plans and dims--

I have way more experience in welding and metal fabrication, so I noticed the welds on the trailer as well and the brace that holds the tail light assembly- My guess- a straight downhand position weld with 6013 mild steel stick rod from the resultant weld bead-- but just a SWAG- nice boat, can we see some later fotos with the brush or camo treatment as well?:cool:

Francis,

I just received permission from the state to register the boat today. I will do that Monday and get the numbers on the hull Tuesday as that is when the boat store opens. After the numbers are on I am going to slosh it down with a slurry of mud then try camo netting on it. I may order some grass to hide the boat or just bust a bail of straw. This is my first try at this and I know of no one here that has. Runing by the seat of my pants and will take any advice one will offer.

Harry

hi, make shur you set the decoys on the side you can shoot to the best(right hand shooter can swing left better than swing right and left the right side) this way you wont get " bound up " . yes cover boat up with a little of the cover you plan to hunt in., use a face mask,keep gun with the muzzle out of the boat,(saves on toes and holes) most of all don't move until you are ready to shoot! they will be close!! (in side 20 yds) good luck and i'll try to get you pics of my boat, scott
