Hey guys,
There's a guy near Ripley making these things. Seems to be exactly what I've been looking for. He says they weight 35-40 lbs. It's 9 ft. end to end, 8 ft. interior length. Has a transom for a small motor. They can be drug, paddled, used for a layout, etc.
Anybody want to jump on this with me? He'll need a deposit, not sure how much. I'm located in Starkville, but I've got family in New Albany so I'll pick them up sometime up there. If you're in N Miss you can get yours without me, but I'd be glad to carry it back to Starkville for you to pick up as well. I'm ordering tomorrow morning.

Re: Boat/blind/sled thinga-mah-hooky
He was finishing yours up when I was there today. They are very basic fiberglass with epoxy resin type coating. Im 6'3" about 290 so I wont be doing any deep water paddling but he assured me it would be fine. I set it out in the driveway and layed out in it and its really roomy. I'm going to do some designing on how to build a low profile flip open blind. Its really just a fiberglass shell from a mold, not much to it but the multipurpose aspect drew me to it. It really is a simple cross between a sled, layout, neotub and 1 man boat. Light enough that my 6 year old helped me unload it. 35-40 pounds.

the more i look at this thing the more im digging the potential it may have. i will post up some pics when i get a blind system figured out, the gentleman that I dealt with was really nice and easy to deal with.

Re: Boat/blind/sled thinga-mah-hooky
whats the cost on one of the shooting houses?
Re: Boat/blind/sled thinga-mah-hooky
Boats are $250 right now. I'm sure that's subject to change as demand increases and the design changes.
No idea on shooting houses.

Re: Boat/blind/sled thinga-mah-hooky
I have been looking at getting myself a nucanoe or kayak to hunt and fish out of. I wonder if this would be better?
Re: Boat/blind/sled thinga-mah-hooky
Seems like he told me shooting houses were 450 maybe.
