My new project

[seth30]

Just picked up this little treasure for 60 bucks.  I have 4 holes in the bottom, all very small and slow leaks with the expection of the one in the photo.  I will patch the holes when I find a alumium welder. After I get the holes patched I will  start the stripping of the paint job, and paint it one of my favoirte colors WWII OD I plan on keeping the battery box, but the seats will go.

Heck yeah Seth, nice score. Gonna' make a duckmobile?

[seth30]

Yes, I want to paint it WWII OD green to match my gun Im going to nickel and dime this boat, and plan on it being ready next year.

Sweet... Should work well out there on the base!

[seth30]

I wish it was ready today, blind 5 was dead today, and most of the ducks were sitting in the center of the cove

[NWWABOWHNTR]

Was by there about 8 this morning... not much water at that time,  but the tide was on the way in...  Lots of geese this AM again though... they know the date... LOL

[seth30]

Yep I have blind 4 on the 5th

Tried posting this last night, but here is what I did with my 1965 sears 12' dinghy;

Wow Iceman, you just gave me a new idea

[ICEMAN]

[seth30]

Did you use PVC pipe and rope?  Im looking at as lightweight as possible.  There is on boat launch where I hunt, and its a carry it to the water deal.  Usually Im hunting alone, so weight is my biggest concern.

[ICEMAN]

Nope...wanted it tough so we could bash it around for years....  1/2 electric conduit, conduit bender.... nylon netting, then tied on with duck decoy cord. Dressed with fake grass, fake cattails.... 


All the sections drop into my rod holders in the boat... I did place a few extra holder to pick up all the points I needed for support...  In the off season we stash the camo and go trouting...

Here is a pic of the interior of the boat in use. Hunts three guys, sort of.... My buddy and my son in the pic. You can see the pipe coming thru the rod holder...

SWEEEEEET Iceman !!! Quack Quack 

[seth30]

Hmm, Im thinking of PVC pipe and para cord

[seth30]

Been sanding the heck out of the boat, and Im only 75% done   There must be 20 coats of paint and not having a flat surface makes it a challange.  Hopefully I can get the boat ready before the end of the year.
