A build of a different kind.

[gasman1]

Well, idecited to build my own Duck HUnting Boat. I wanted a boat that I could throw in the back of the truck and take to about any small pond, lake marsh, etc, I wanted to. Here are some pic of my build process.

The material cut out.

Assembling the bottom half of the boat.

Fiber glassing the inside of the bottom of the boat.

Assembling the top half of the boat.

Cut out the front of the boat, bondoed up the holes from assembly, smothed out the surface, and fiber glassed it.

Testing the boat for leaks (found a leakin the corner and fixed it)

And the paint job.

It was a fun build :awesomework:

Thats awsome.. I built a pontoon boat once, but it was too heavy for one guy to move. I like your boat.

I decided...:haha:

Boat looks good man. I thought it was going to be a bit bigger maybe a 2 person but looks like it's only going to be a one man.

You can buy one for $500-$600, and that is what I would charge to make one.

material cost is about $250-$300, depends on where you get the stuff at and a few hundred labor to build, you are better off building your own or buying one new.

Here is the web site where I bout the plans from. They have a few different models.
