WoW now thats a nice job mate.

They are some sweet boats....I've had this rig for about 6 years it's been alot of fun...DH-15 with a 4 stroke Yamaha and it has tiller and trim.....Rusty

Here it is...



Hey Jim that's John putting on the final touches. This was opening day coastal. Two guys on Jet-skis drove right through our spread..lol

That blends in perfect in that spot Frank. Probably not so good on the low marsh though huh?

Dont take this the wrong way but it looks more like a Chesapeake Bay than a Barnegat Box, Shear sides, hard chines, and scissor blind, nice boat

I'm looking to get a sneakbox for next season. Something i can handle on my own. I have my eye on the duck boss 13. have you ever heard of it?

Nice job on the boat 11 Never heard of that boat where is it built?

When mine is finished I will be hunting out of a Eddie Kershaw special

14' TDB / 25hp Merc

Bought it used this year but only got it out 1 time

You boys should see a Frick Boat with a 25 Yamee on it pulling a Pond Box and 80 lb Chessie.

Sounds like a death trap you can't. Get more speed from a displacement hull with more horse power you would probably get the same speed with a 15hp cuz of less weight

i dont no about that i had a 15 yamee on it definitly faster with the 25 espicially loaded down and as far as a death trap thats why they make a throttle only need to run it at 50 % but when u need it u got it

I like that philosophy!

My primary boat is a boring 16 foot lund with a pop up blind.

I just picked up an Arthur Armstrong Broadbill which I will be restoring for next season:



This was a neat project I did that started out as a styrofoam sailboat laying in my town dump. I turned it into a rock blind for one of my stealth 1200s. It only weighs about 30 pounds and I have a gray camo cordura skirt that snaps from anchor points to the Stealth. I also mounted several hard points front and rear for mounting full bodies. In rocky coastal areas and rivers it is deadly.

I switched to the front spray shield an now has a honda 15hp 4 stroke talk about fast!

Nice Ozzie box, ran one of them for a couple years. I guess you put your decoys under the canvas with that set up?

They look more like sail panels than decoy racks. I would redo them, make them look nicer. Not a bad boat though, she just needs some TLC.
