    duck boats

    This has to be one of the coolest pictures of a layout boat. Man I'd love to have a set up like that.

    With all the ducks you shoot in a morning you'd prolly sink it! LOL
    When I works, I works hard; when I sits, I sits loose; and when I thinks, I falls asleep.

    Re: duck boats

    they say that the boat is rated for 550lbs. Thats a lot of ducks
    I used to use my canoe for the same purpose but it's not as stable and roomy as one of these.

    Here is a picture of Nash in my 13 foot canoe in 2004. The poor mans layout

    Rod had one but I was to late. This was about 6 months ago. There was a john boat on here as well but I'm looking for something a little more low profile.

    It's hard to see the hunter. I'd think it woud be pretty hard to aim and track the ducks wouldn't it?

    Those Momarsh are great so are the 4 rivers layouts another good one is the otter stealth 1200 or 2000.I 'm looking at these three right now.You can also build boats with plans from Gator boats and Devlin lots to choose from.

    Marc, you need to find a boat sponsor and get them to "donate" one

    The original boat style that Ira based those off of you can make yourself, they are called a KARA, plans are like $30 they have a website, not sure what it is. The fatboy is a sweet rig and I toyed long and hard between it and the Aquapod, I'm very happy with the pod, especially how easy you can put it on the roof.

    You should also take a look at Svensons.com and either the bluebill or pintail, which ever is plywood is a good marsh boat as is, a change the rear would make it even better, switching it to stitch and glue, rock and roll!
