    My duck boat

    I recently bought an old Mirrocraft 14ft boat I am planning to convert to duck boat
    I stripped it completely out, cleaned and washed throughfully:



    Bought a brand new trailer as the old one was all rusty and in terrible conditions, then painted boat in and out:



    And than the fun begun - camo painting!
    I made my own stencils from the shower curtains. First layer - black:



    Than brown, green and beige. Here is the look and the final touches:





    I camo the motor's cover too. It should be good enough for the time being, Next - I will need to install the blind, but most likely will do after the season is over.

    Beauty of a boat. Are you putting the thwarts/seats back in? My guess is that they are structural and are needed to keep the sides from folding in. Real nice to have that high transom.

    Not free hand, I made my stencils first. Different stencils for different colors.
