Post Budget Build - North Eastern USA Mud Boat
Sup fellas.....well up here in PA mud motors are not comon, but I wanted one anyway. I have some decent flyways being 20 mins away from the Delaware River which borders New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In 1.5 hours I can be in saltwater bays of NJ or mountain lakes in PA. I also have Maryland and the Chesapeake at about an hour away to the south.....so I got inland and coastal birds and water with mud and water with rock and water with sand and water with all three...a little of everything. We dont have that nice southern mud, but I have lots of shallow water and limits of ducks and geese ;)

So here's a boat I picked up for next to nothing and it was a basket case.....I think it turned out pretty good.

Under Construction






Dual Purpose




Getting me to the good places

Great looking build, better looking dog. Sorry just something about a dog doing what it is born and bread to do.. Just wish I could hunt my Lab down here in Fla, but the first gator that tangled with her I would have to kill and probably go to jail for..

Wow looks nice, working on boats is crazy fun. Elaborate on the camo job, was it a wrap?
