    New Rig!

    Well new for me! Really stoked!!

    Just picked up this puppy today after months of looking at boats and being disappointed. This is EXACTLY what I invisioned. 16.5 welded HEAVY DUTY aluminum skiff. almost 6 feet wide and really deep. 2 of us stood on the rail at the marina and it didnt budge. Needs a bigger engine, some paint and a blind.

    Look out seaducks 2011 is gonna be bad for you.

    Looks like it could fit a laydown or two across there...

    Nice purchase, we've been holding out for a tdb,banks or duckwater, alot for sale right now but all on the east coast.
    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?

    Its a yammy 9.9 pushes the boat about 10km/hr at full throttle lol, shes rated for up to a 75. Gonna get a 40 for her probably.

    Nice!!!
    I guess that davit and pulley will come in handy for lifting the 2
    cases of ammo into the skiff. I know it will take at least that for you and
    303 Brit. to limit out?????

    Re: New Rig!

    You just got yourself a dandy boat. I've had one for years.

    8 yrs. ago I had this thing out in Boundary Bay with 500 lbs. of hunter in it when it was so rough we could barely move around the boat to set the lines. When we headed offshore from the ramp we looked like one of those Australian surfboat pictures. I used it as a towboat mainly and started with a 25 hp. then moved up to the 30 you see in the pic and now have a 40 and that's what it needs to tow the two punts plus a couple of hunters. I wish I had a 50 but the 40 is adequate. I originally wanted it for the safety factor it provides when I was making the long run in the dark back to my shack at the bridge from out front of the refuge thru the Albion slough with my son when he was much younger than you see in this pic. I've had it out to Tofino fishing the surfline and over to the Gulf Islands and it's a great crabbing boat too. It'll take pretty much any water or abuse.
