What do you think of her? I would like some opinions of it before I give out more details... kind of a raw first impression. One bit of info...I didn't build it.

Looks like a Storer GIS, beautiful who ever built it. One question though, wheres your rod? I would find it impossible not to have brought some walleye gear!!! Anyway its simple and smart and thats what I like about her.

[lewisboats]

Thanks for the reply...but that ain't me...it's the builder... and I don't know where the rod is. I agree with you though but seeing as this was within the past couple three weeks...I don't think he's in Walleye country...the water isn't nearly hard enough.

Looks like a capable, no-nonsense sort of boat. Well thought out, built no heavier than it needs to be, and nicely done. Is there is storage fore and aft, and flotation under the thwart?

[lewisboats]

It appears he built in the storage but I don't know about the flotation...It is possible it is simply a sealed tank.

Now for the info...This is the first build of a Duckskiff, a humble design effort of mine. Plans are free exclusively from Duckworks (http://duckworksmagazine.com/)...on the plans page. This guy did a really nice example and I wanted to show it off a bit.

that is ever so much better than an aluminum jon boat. an honest wood boat well built is always far better than a mass produced tin can . Congrats on what I hope is the first of many built.
