Sure, you could hunt in that old rowboat, but it's no duck boat. A real duck boat is "shotgun stable", dog friendly and has enough room for those decoys and a hunting buddy. And if you do it yourself, it is painted to blend into your favorite hunting spot. There are a lot of different ways to hunt, and if you have a need to motor to where you need to be then this is a great 2 person, one dog hunting rig.
This boat has a wide stable beam with a punt design and up swept stem to break through the waves but still have a stable platform up front for the dog or a stepping off point.With the addition of a small 10 to 15 hp motor, you will zip to that hunting spot at about 20 MPH and with a motor that small, you can cruise all day for just a few bucks. Add a few grass stalks, and some camo paint that blends to your favorite hunting spot and you will have a comfortable, dry, and hopefully successful hunt.
The aft seat and the fore deck are sealed and watertight to make for a safe trip. No one wants to go under, but its nice to know that if you do, your boat isn't going to the bottom. If sculling is your style then take a look at the "Merrymeeting bay duck boat."
Or if you are looking for a great, lightweight lay out boat that is easy to paddle and ready to go on a moments notice then take a look at the "Little Rob". The power ducker is a versatile boat. When duck season is over, just pull off the blind and get ready for fishing season.
