dgram36 » 09 Jul 2013, 08:22[/url]"]Nice to see someone else doing a duck rig. I have an 18' lowe sc and I'm painting it a similar color. Just got my order of Parker Duck Boat Paint in dead grass last night. Good job on your build, and good luck this season.

yeah you too bud. Ill try to post some pictures of my blind but my avatar is a picture I took last season from the inside of my blind. What kind of rig you got on yours?

 

[Quackrstackr]

Looking good. Glad the Kiwigrip worked out for you.

Yeah thank you for the tip QuackStaker. Couldn't have asked for a better product or one that was as easy to apply. I want to put more of it on my boat! \/

Looks good! I'm going to build a scissor blind with fast grass whenever I actually finish my build. Taking forever.

Yeah me too. Im ready for dove season to come in so I can get my target practice in before! :lol:

DGram- Yeah I hear that. All the hard work will pay off tho. Especially when you have a flock of mallards dropping in on your spread!

if it flies it dies and if it sits it dies too! :mrgreen:

I get trigger happy in the early season. Last year I almost blasted a king fisher that dropped in our spread. Hey, if you don't want to die like a teal, don't fly like a teal.

LOLOLOL =D> =D>


I almost peed myself. This has happened to me as well. Kingfishers probably taste like mud.

 

[willsbarbour]

Those and coots get me every time. And not to mention mergansers. I hate those little f###s!

Was able to work on the boat a little yesterday. I ordered a windshield from https://www.akmccallumco.com/store-console.htm and it came in Tuesday afternoon. Really pleased with how it turned out and it was easy to install (took all of 10 minutes). I need to make a grab rail to go around it but thats gonna have to be a project for another day. I wish it was tinted just a little bit darker but it will work all the same and I like how its kind of low profile.

 

[willsbarbour]

First fish since fixing her up.

 

[SquiggyFreud]

Did the windshield come with hardware for mounting it? I had been looking at that specific windshield wondering if it would fit on my Alumacraft SC, dimensions look to be the same.

 

[willsbarbour]

Yes it came with the mounting hardware. Took all of 10 minutes to put on

 

[willsbarbour]

Been a while since I posted on the site but I thought I would give y'all some updates.

Finally got the seats mounted RIGHT! :mrgreen: Before the would fall off if I leaned back to far because the mounting hardware they gave me was straight crap. Had to replace all the screws for bigger ones so the heads wouldn't come threw the holes.

The season just opened here in NC but already killed a good amount of birds. Took my boat out the other day and it was blowing 15 with gust up to 25mph so you know the sound was rough but my little tin boat handled it like a champ. Wish I had more pictures but here's one of the first 2 ducks shot on the boat since I've repainted it and fixed her up. I will try and post more pictures, especially of the blind, sometime soon.

 

[willsbarbour]

Here's one with the seats. Hope to get a picture of it in the water soon.

Looks Great man!! Wish there were more birds around here... so far this season has been better than last year, but still not too many ducks.
