'04 Duck Hunting Season

makowish,
I'd be willing to let it go for maybe a grand. Here are the details:
Layout is about 11' long and 6' wide. Cockpit is open (hence the length) so you don't put your feet inside restricting your movement (gun barrel doesn't stick up either). Cockpit length is 6 1/2 ' long for taller guys and about 44" wide roughly just below shoulders for those with wider middles (I just like more room). About 16 " above waterline in the stern and 13" in the bow so you can see over it without having to sit up higher. It has about a 2 1/2 inch drop in the middle to help ride the waves without splashing like the flat bottom jobs. Hopefully you can see the pictures, it is a solid 2 part expanding closed cell foam core covered with luan plywood and epoxy resin with 10 oz. fiberglass cloth. Color is medium grey and the combing matches to a tee (still not done but is easy to finish). As I said before it is not a lightweight, about 100-120 lbs so you won't be able to lift it out of the water into your tender.You will need to tow it on the water to your hunting location but it will ride rougher water than the commercialy sold boats so you get more time hunting than the other guys.
If your interested in seeing it let me know. I live roughly at 14Mile and Dequindre or I could meet you somewhere (I have it on a trailer but the trailer isn't mine). My next project is a 2 man (just FYI) and I'll prolly sell that too.

makowish,
Cool. I just haven't heard from you or skie-bum for a bit. The spray combing is done, I will post a final pic maybe tomorrow so you can see it. The combing is removable so it wont sit outside and rot. It is real easy to install and remove. I will be out of town this weekend and moving to Chesterfield from Sterling Heights in about 2 weeks (got a house on a canal so it will be real hard to find me at home after I move

). Call my cell if you still have it and we can hook up.
