That's a 20" shaft. the boat is for OFF SHORE (thus the name) and his ridiculous freeboard! THAT BOAT IS SO COOL!

I built a box for my seat. Nice to have "under butt" storage space in a duckboat. Good for decoy gloves, spare parts, etc. Looks good.

Looks like a duckboat. Nice work, and excellent handling of a sandy problem. I would have been livid if that happened to me! But we can only take things one step at a time, right? very nice work, that paint came out nice and flat.

Cool, glad to see another duck boat on the site, we will take over... eventually. consider decking over and making cockpit coamings to keep errant waves out of the boat. Should work great for small water no matter what you do with it. I recommend the hunters specialties flat enamels, I have...

I have this motor on my (new, small) duck boat - it has been getting harder and harder to start the first time (cold, 32deg) the colder it gets. It takes many (like 20 the other day, like 40 today) the more times i pull the recoil, eventually it does start, but it runs half a second or less...

great project, love the console and windshield. I bet the 40hp is a big improvement. Yamahas are great motors. that is a sharp looking boat. Paul

The Chesapeake will do that to a boat. This is a really cool project, I'd love one of these for a big water duck boat!

Honestly, I'd leave it the way it is if all you use it for is mobility. The pods are great but it's probably cheaper for you to buy a used 14 Jon than add pods to a 13', if you watch Craig's enough.

Looks good. My next boat will be a 19 crestliner. Something with a forward console, like an old Norseman.

Start looking for that lower unit. Wow, that must have been some rock.

Good work.

I've already done that, disconnected cable and shifted it in by hand. The friction of the water around the prop prevents it from shifting into gear. Ie it will shift and turn fine running on a hose, but not on the lake. My cables are brand spankin, and the adjustments are correct.

Did a google search and came up dry. Any ideas what used ones I can bolt on? I have lost reverse on mine, it just never catches. In warm water conditions it sometimes will, but I need this sucker running at 100%

Really, really nice work.

Hey thanks wils, season is over, my best season yet for sure. Even managed to kill a triple of sea ducks while diver hunting.... In Minnesota.... [/URL]

You are doing great!

Looks cool so far.

Herc all the way. Get the roll kit. I could not be happier than I am with mine. Holding up very well.

Awesome work! That is a super clean build.

First: wow. Second: that Yamaha makes that thing look mighty tough. Third: awweeeeedome job Dave.
