Sneak Boats

[jordano]

Hey y'all!

So I have been getting rather frustrated.. I have been looking on Craigslist like crazy to find sneak boats, etc. But I have been having horrible luck finding anything. I realize this is probably something that should be in the classifieds but I could use a little help finding some things. I really like the Beavertail Phantom, but would like to try to find it a lot cheaper than what their website says.. anything helps! I would build one but I don't have the time for it..

thanks,

Jordan

hey...gasman and i built 8' sneak boats in about a 2-3 week timeframe working on it for a few hours a night after we got home from work.  probably a bit cheaper than finding one online unless you catch a marsh rat on C/L.  it was pretty easy and fun too...just a thought and my

hey thanks for the input! much appreciated! I'll see what I can come up with..

If you do your research, you can find plans for many different shapes and sizes.

building one on;y takes as much time as you devote to it. i built mine in a week and plan on building a second on, just a little bigger and minor modifacations to fit me and my dog

Weather is a decent factor in the resin hardening when you're building a boat, though - keep that in mind. I never really liked mixing hot batches of resin personally. I'd see what you can find on CL and go from there. I may have a boat I'd be willing to hand off your way for really cheap.. although it's not terribly great for duck hunting. It's a little old rowboat with a really slow leak in the bottom that I don't really have the time to properly fix up.. It's not cammo but I painted it with the ultra flat khaki stuff, and I have hunted out of it with two guys. 

PM me if you're interested

yeah I have a big fat goose egg when it comes to time cause I am going to school and all.. I really like the set up of this sneak/layout boat.. it is small and light enough I can pack it around by myself plus its stable as heck!

How much are you looking to spend?  There have been Otters on CL at times. 
Bottom line when it comes to marsh boats, it is tough to beat an aquapod or marsh rat and they are much easier to find.

Might check this out if you want a project.

YOU MIGHT TRY TO DO A SEARCH ON PEROIT BOATS, I GOT ONE FROM LOUSIANNA FROM A FRIEND IT WAS THE GREATEST LITTLE BOAT EVER

yeah a 14' is a little long.. I'd like something 8' to 10'.. that way I can pack it and put it in the back of my truck..
well I'd fork out a couple hundred..

Is that a final approach boat? or final attack?

What exactly are you looking to do out of your boat? Hunt open water? paddle long distances? hunt tidal bays?

salt flats and small ponds.. something I can get lost in the weeds with when I want to set up.. something that is small enough that I can carry it myself fairly easily.. use it as a layout boat and a sneak boat to paddle around
