First time out with the layout boat

Got to try out my 10' layout boat this morning.  The birds were 15 -25 yds away.  Awesome.  After looking at these pics, I need to paint it marsh brown with green stripes and a few black accents. Also got to pull the trigger for the first time on wild birds with my damascus Lefever GE 12ga, made 1896.  I just had it re-case colored.  It really did the job well with 2.5" tungsten 5's:

love the boat and the layout there!

Thanks.  It's actually a converted sailboat.  I cut the cockpit out so I can lay down in it.  It's low and wide, with a removable skeg through the floor that keeps it stable.  Got it for free on craigslist!

Looks real good.  I converted a 10' Jon over for duck and fish, but we have not taken it out yet.  I can't lie down, like that idea though.  Congrats.  Nice gun too.
