Thats a great idea. My wife encouraged me to do that as well. Of course it's always different hearing it from someone besides your wife lol Good point on asking other duck hunters what they would like in a hunting boat.

True. The Beavertail Final Attack is around $500. I think it is rotomolded. Theres no way I could beat that. Four Rivers (the boat I showed above) sells their small layout boats for $2,500-$3k each. They are fiberglass and are VERY well known in the industry... Reputation is something I...

I am looking at the duck boats by Sam Devlin now and these are exactly what I am looking for. I might build one of his for myself and see how I like it. I probably had 20-25 hours in each boat. I would hope to make around $50-$60/hour since I would have an LLC and would be paying taxes on...

Here is an example of the layout duck hunting boats I am interested in producing. They range from 7ft kayak style all the way to 12ft boats. Here is the micro fishing boat I am interested in building. Although I don't know if there is a market for these. This one below is goofy and might...

Thank you for the feedback. Honestly, I am starting to realize this after I got all these replies. It is really helpful

What questions should I be asking?

I did not know this. Very informative. Thank you! Great thoughts about what will make my boat stand out from the others since the market is so saturated with 12' boats. Thanks again

I did sell each boat I built before building the next one. I only sold them for what I paid for materials. Thank you for your input. Really good stuff

I have several questions about layup and general production. I was hoping some of you more experienced guys could help me. I have a full time job and I’d like to keep it. I have built 5 small 1-2 man boats for myself over the years using the glue and stitch method, so I’m familiar with...
