Hey everyone, does anyone know where I could get plans for a duck hunting boat? I'm considering building one as a summer project and wanted to look at some plans for some ideas. Thanks!

Check the "How To" section. I posted a thread about this last month. Guys provided a lot of good websites. __________________ It isn't the catch or the kill that makes for a great outdoor experience but enjoying all that God has created for us.

Now that I have built a basic boat I think I'm ready to try something more substancial. After looking at pirogue and putting it in the water, I am more confident in my ability to turn out a seaworthy craft.
Like most projects, the hardest part is starting. When I built the pirogue I didn't have that problem but a mistake in the first phase almost made me cut my losses. After staring at the problem for a couple of hours I found all was not lost and devised a plan to salvage the project. Now for those who might be scared off by my admission, mine was a mistake in choosing the right product for my application. *Never listen to the big box guys when building a boat...none of them have ever done it and don't know what to recommend for glues and epoxys. Boat building is an art of expression and functionality. I was told by a well respected member of this forum that shooting birds from a boat I built would be priceless. I can't wait to find my new wealth. Sh*t, I might have to buy a fishing license if time doesn't go any faster so I can try my new boat. |
