Duck Rig Pics
I have a boat that I am converting into a Duck rig. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas from past experience, or things that you like about your boat that I could incorporate into mine ( homemade blind, shell holders, gun holders, storage etc.)?

RE: Duck Rig Pics
im working on building me a nice little 14' jon boat also, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
so far i've sanded down the paint off of it, patched some holes that were in it due to depth finder being removed...
im going to rhino line the inside and the bottom of the hull install drop down blinds and find me a good motor and some seats... i might post a how-to if i feel the need to take pics of it
excaliber let us know how it goes for you bud!

RE: Duck Rig Pics
It appears to be too late, but I looked into the rhinoliner as well and found the weight to be too much. If you're doing the floor and walls of a 14' boat, you're looking to add probably 120-150 lbs of weight to the boat.
Instead, you might want to take a look at the hydroturf product. I put it in my boat last year and it held up very well. I need to add a bit of adhesive in a few corners this week, but I really like how it came out. Plus it weighs nothing. I think for my whole boat, which is 18' x 60" wide, I added a whopping 6 lbs.
Good luck on your project... Here are a few pics of my boat...
Here is the rack...
Here is the rack on the boat...
Here is everything except the grass camo...

i thought about Hydroturf (i have their products on my PWCs, great stuff!) but juse decided it would be quicker to do it this way
your boat looks great! gj! did you fab up the hangers? and is that just caution fence, or is it painted expanded metal?
regardless it looks great! your dog doesn't look to happy to be in the picture though

i didn't spray it on TOO thick, i used two 124oz cans of the liner. don't think it added much more weight

Yeah, my dog was anxious to get the picture done; but at his defense, the duck had just come out of the freezer; so I'm sure it didn't feel too good on his teeth.

RE: Duck Rig Pics
If you want the normal colors, you can get them directly from Hydro-Turf. Unless it's changed, the camo colors are only available from Gator-Trax... http://www.gatortraxboats.com/Hydroturf.htm
They are a bit more, but come out really nice. They use only the same colors as the camo, not the pattern. Because of the way the mats are made, they cannot put lines on them... so the pattern is not there.
Good luck.
