GREAT LOOKING setup. How long did it take you to grass the whole thing up? I am going to be driving through MO here in the future on my way to WA and thought I may just pick one up my self. What kind of decoys are those in the picture? Could you post some pictures specifically on the door hinges and the transom. I think I may save a few bucks and make my own but wanted to see how yours was designed. Thanks in advance for the information.
First off sorry for taking so long to reply.
It doesn't take long to grass it up as you're using the vegetation from your surroundings. I usually only grass the boat up maybe once or twice per season then it's just add when cover is looking a little thin.
It pays to get the deck cover that is Max HD camo pattern with webbing to secure grass / bushes too.
The decoys are Dakota X-treme mallard decoys and the pintails are GHG's.

Oh yeah this looks like the ticket! Nice rig Marc

Looks like a real good setup. I'm looking at possibly picking one up. Do you still have this boat? How has it been performing? Anything you don't like about it? Have you had it out for divers and how did it work? Cheers.
Hey Marc when you are sitting in the DP can you reach over the side to retrieve your birds or is it too wide?

Time to dust off this thread and get everyone fired back up again for the waterfowl season.
Hard to believe it's been 14 years since I bought the boat and I'm 14 years older as well . That being said it's needs a substantial refit and upgrades to get it back to ship shape. From what I've noticed the boat itself is fine but to the cover, the blind doors, and the seat had all degraded to the point they are no longer worthy of trying to fix. The salt and UV has destroyed the integrity of the material and all the straps break with little to no resistance. I also ordered the dog bling attachment which is like a single blind door that flips back towards the motor when the dog leaves the boat and when she's settled in it flips back over to conceal her and I from birds coming from the back. I'll post up pictures when everything shows up soon hopefully before opening day.
Marshall my Male Chessie is not with us any longer but I picked up a new pup two years ago from North Carolina and hoping that she enjoys duck hunting and retrieving as much as Marsh did. She's lacking in training and that's more my fault then hers but we are hoping to turn that around this fall.
Has anyone else gotten a MOmarsh since this post died out in 2016?
Cheers,
Marc.

which marsh do you hunt mostly cow bay, or up in Nanaimo as well?
