Duck Boat
Page We've been building wooden boats
and kits for the fisherman since 1983. Our primary
boat has been the McKenzie River Driftboat, a
popular boat for fishing whitewater rivers. You can
visit our McKenzie Driftboat home page to see these
boats and all sorts of accessories at
www.gregboats.com.
E-mail us at woodn@gregboats.com. In the last few years, waterfoul
hunting has captured my attention during our rainy
winters here in Oregon. I still can't believe I
enjoy getting up hours before sunrise, then
spending hours sitting in a cold, rainy duck blind
with a buddy and a smelly, wet (but happy)
retriever. In any case, I think many of our current
boat models would work well for duck hunting. Many
hunters in this area float the local rivers for
ducks and geese in driftboats. Our rowboats work
well for setting up in still waters, such as lakes
and ponds. I've just designed a light
plywood jon boat, the first boat I've designed
mainly for duck hunting. It's inexpensive, easy to
build and can be easily shipped in kit form. We're
jumping the "gun" a little because we haven't fixed
on a price yet, but keep this page in your sights
for the next few weeks. We should have more of that
sort of information soon. Here are some photos of
the boat in progress. It is an eight footer, with
twelve inch sides, and a thirty four inch bottom
width. Our plan is to offer it in longer lengths
too, in roughly two foot increments. The longer the
boat, the more the boat would take a small, light
motor. |
