    Ouachita 1648 Duck Boat Build

    A little disappointing, had some motor issues. A funny part of the day was that we got a little too confident in the shallows and ended up beaching the boat in about an inch of water lol. We had to get out and drag the boat backwards about twenty yards! I've got some photos to upload but...

    Ouachita 1648 Duck Boat Build

    I'm just going to use the rubber mats you see in the photos above. They are from home Depot, 4x8 and 3/8 thick. I wanted aluminum but didn't think the cost was with it for this boat. I got some more done last night but haven't uploaded photos, cut my thumb pretty good while trimming the...
