So I built a new boat...

Ok, funny story. 8yo daughter was helping me clean up a bit on the first day of welding. She ask what kind of boat it was gonna be and I replied, “ a duck boat”. She looked down and saw a “duck” in weld splatter/smoke on one of the stringers lol.

Awesome build Jamie. How has it held up this year? 
 

Back in my chasing ducks every day during season years, we used a few different drift and layout boats in the marshes. Been out of that game over 20 years, but have lots of memories. That new drift will be sweet.

The bug boat has done great this year. Not much I’d change about it if I had it to do again. The little boat is about 2 days from being water ready (minus paint) but it likely won’t be ran until the first weekend or so of January. To much going on the next few weeks to mess with it. 
 

inused to duck hunt like crazy also, -like 54 days out of a 60 day season crazy. Kids and responsibilities have kept me from it, but I still think about it lol. Got a couple nephews who are getting interested so I’ll have a good excuse to get back out there some 🙂
