Harry: That is a great looking layout duck boat. I had the urge to get me a layout boat about 15 yrs. ago and a friend of mine designed and helped me build it and it is a great boat designed for a man and his dog and some decoys. Happy hunting. Thomas L. Benson Sr.

Harry ... WHAT A GREAT BOAT ! ... Please tell us more ... I bet there's a good story that goes with the building of such a great watercraft ... Did you build it from scratch, from plans, or from a "kit" ?

Best regards,

I looked around for a Barnagat Bay Sneakbox and found a few, but the cost was out of my reach. Then I started looking at plans and found these for Spira Internationals Marsh Rat. Committed many sins building this boat and was able to hide most of them with fiberglass. By nature I am a "chain saw carpenter". I nail it together and trim it up with a chain saw. It would realy have helped it I had understood the basic concept of a ruler, straight edge and how a saw works.

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.
