RE: Can you believe this?
If you are as serious as us about duck hunting. One of us would have gladly sacrificed our bodies, jumped in the water, and pulled the boat in to position. When the boat don't run, we wade. Always have to have a backup plan. Pulling a boat load of dekes is easier than carrying them any day...But if you got until tommorrow, my 55 pound pulls my 1870 just fine in ideal conditions without 300lb blind and 300lb of dekes. I really don't think it would move the boat when loaded up for hunting. A push pole and a rope will do you more good. Think you would be better off getting some good waders and a long rope. Have you tried a shot of starting fluid with choke turned off?
