Well I am looking at getting a duck boat with a couple of buddies of mine. Seeing as none of us has ever owned one before and it is pretty essential at this time of year around where we hunt, I am curious as to what brands and models are pretty good. I already have a 9.9 outboard so we don't want to go bigger than 16 feet. There will only be 2 guys and a dog at any given time in the boat.

So which blinds work the best, what camo pattern is most effective etc.
Is a 14 foot a good all around size or is a 12 foot more than enough boat?
We are thinking of going riveted to save a bit of money as opposed to welded. Is it that important to have a welded boat? Also is a modified V hull going to be more stable?

Thanks
