I hunt from a duck boat that I built myself using plywood and fiberglass. It's 12 ft. long and 5 ft. wide. It looks very similar to the Devlin Black Brant. I built it from plans that I drew up myself. It has been a good boat for the last 7 years. It is ideal for two hunters and a dog. I have had three hunters and gear in the boat and used a trolling motor to power it in water only 6 inches deep.
