Posts: 383 | Last fall, still grieving the sale of my 681, I decided to find a new project. One thing on my mind was that I wanted to get just a little more use out of my boat beyond fishing; I wanted a boat that could do double-duty with some big water duck hunting as well. I found a bare boat/trailer-no motor LundPro V tiller for sale. It was in great shape but the 90s green carpet and seats were just too bright for the duck blind. I'm a bargain hunter so, after pulling the green carpet, I found a roll of OEM Lund camo vinyl flooring on eBay. Same stuff they use in their Alaskans. I used this on the front and rear decks. The main cockpit got heavy duty black no-slip vinyl to deal with mud, muck (and slime). Another bargain find, I came cross a Mossy Oak Shadowgrass Blades vinyl wrap in the local Cabelas Bargain Cave and later added to this with additional pieces directly from Mossy Oak. We added a 24v system with a Powerdrive and charger to the front and a separate 12v Minn Kota Waterfowler and charger to the back. The Yamaha Pro 50 has a fresh rebuild on it and is ready to go. The boat still needs a bunch of things... I'm getting ready to order a Styx River camouflage Neomat removable neoprene floor mat to cover the black vinyl in the cockpit, I need to camo the gunwales, and, of course, we'll have to get a blind before duck season, but it's been a fun project and I'm looking forward to extending my boat's usability a little. Anyway, with duck season just around the corner and the fishing just about to get good, I thought it would be fun to post some pics, starting with a "before..."

Posts: 566 Location: Elgin, IL | That's some really nice work right there. Hunting open water is a blast, and that's going to be a great rig for just that. I used to hunt alot of big water in a 18' PolarKraft jon boat tiller. Especially geese/mallards at one of the big impoundments south of here. Most guys don't realize how much the birds love open water....Unbelievable. Good luck this Fall at both.  Edited by Northwind Mark 9/4/2014 11:51 AM | ||
