A couple of pics. I've had this boat since 76 and it's been a work in progress. 2003 I decided to deck it over and make everything lockable. I call it the "Freelancer" 5 dz standard duck decoys and 6 goose floaters fit in the front cargo hold. Oars, decoy retrievers, anchors, shooting boxes and fuel tank lock in the side lockers. The center cockpit aqrea is 18x48" and it has an angled back rest, I pull the boat into a little cut and sit down in the cockpit and it's nearly invisible. You can take a wave over the side and it won't swamp just the cockpit fills and I have a large bilge pump hooked up to it. With five dz deeks in the front hold and extra floatation on either side of the transom well it floats like a cork even full of water.

SMDave,
Thanks fro making me feel better!! LOL, I just ordered a 1860 War Eagle with a 115 e-tec and that price tag almost put me in the grave...after seeing your pa$$ion for boats (32K) I not only feel better, but I as able to say "See honey, I didn't spend nearly as much as some guys!" ;)
That did look like a killer set up!

These boats are pretty expensive overall. With that in mind, we have a 12 foot aluminum boat with an 8HP motor and an electric trolling motor. I have a design for a boat cover using PVC tubing and nylon camo fabric loosely covering the PVC frame. The frame is attached to the boat using a wooden spar in the front and back (not accurate boat terms). The tubular frame uses PVC U joints so that the two raised tubes run the length of the boat. When closed the provide about a one foot space to look out, when opened they provide a three foot opening so that we can pop up and shoot. The whole thing costs about $30 (compare that to $175 for a factory model). If you want a simple drawing I’d be happy to provide one.
