Home Forums Birds & Dogs Waterfowl A real duckboat

Great old pic Stetson, wonder where that M-12 is today? Is that what it looks to you guys--with a Cutts and an extra full tube screwed in it?

I would have liked to go on a few of those hunts.

Yuma look ducks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Only 218 days to duck season girl! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" /> Okay I see you with the bumber, lets go play. Cool picture. duckgunner

tomk- Actually I think from trigger guard shape and angle and the size of the loading port that it is an 1897. The top of the receiver doesn't show clearly enough to be certain.

I can't see any robo ducks in there... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The gun looks to have a huge drop at the heel of the stock, might rule out a M-12 but the 97 I would think so.

The very slender grip on the forend and and no cap on the magazine and it looks like a little wedge from the barrel to the front of the magazine, maybe a Rem Mod 10.

And a picture of the modern day real duckboat. An aqua pod. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

nice lookin' boat but it is covered up with waterfowls. Are the pods like the Poke boats? I have seen them but not used one yet. Kid

the aqua pod is a kayak like duckboat made by attbar industries here in Wa. they rock. I love my 10' pod

I bet they are light and easy to carry around, eh?

kid,

They are light indeed. You should see one with a mud motor on it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It's hard to find any need of improvement with a setup like that.

BearStalker,
Is it stable on the water when you are shooting? Can two people stand up and shoot, or does it rock a lot? My buddy has problems shooting sitting down, and its a freakin nightmare for me.

you mean like a go devil? That's a great photo. How many shells did you guys go through the day you took that? I'm hungry for some QUACK! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yep, pretty light. I have 3 duck boats, but this one gets nearly all the action. This is a 10'er. They also make an 8' and a 12'. I don't shoot out of it very often, but it works.

But that photo could be a trick! You look like a world class weight lifter.... that boat might weigh 400 lbs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> just kidding. nice looking swimming dog, too!

I agree, looks like a Model 10 Remington to me too.

Stetson The pod in the picture is mine (I'm on right) The motor is a 6 Hp hyper drive Mudbuddy. You can go to adventuremongers.com to see some pics with the motor on it just click on photoalbums It do kick @$$ Oh and all the ducks in the pic above were in two days hunting you should see it when we go out for 3 days. Possession limit is 24 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Are the pods a one man deal and does anyone have a manufacturers link to them and the motors? That just looks very slick. Its gotta be a lot cheaper than a 16" john boat with a Go Devil.
I'd like to see the ducks from three days first hand! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> So many things to do in AK but bird hunting and fishing are my next two priorities.
