I have a Tracker Grizzly 1860 with a Gooseview DuckBlind 2 blind (no longer in business?). Works great, stable, safe in bad weather. Fits 3 comfortable for hunting, 4-5 while fishing. Lower cost than the War Eagle.

Very nice. I don't see oar locks, do you use a little motor? How big? Do you hunt it with a dog?How shallow can you go? I want one.Originally Posted by Erik Nilsson
Do you have a budget?
Here is a picture of my 15 foot valco with a 30 hp Evinrude. It has been a fantastic boat and motor for 15 years. I sold it this summer, and I am not sure it was the right move for Ca Delta hunting. It was replaced with an 18 foot mud boat (Legend Craft) and a Mud Buddy motor---so far the rig has yet to be hunted. Could change next week with the Colusa weir predicted to spill. Kinda like a camper vs a trailer--tough to get the best of both worlds. Gotta make some choices.

There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace…........If one has cut, split, hauled, and piled his own good oak, and let his mind work the while, he will remember much about where the heat comes from, and with a wealth of detail denied to those who spend the weekend in town astride a radiator.

My sneakbox is very similar. I use either a paddle or type of pushpole locally called a "shovin' oar".
"I love the rod and gun and where they take me."
Kayak paddle, I did set it up for a sm 5hp ob but it wasnt worth the hassle. It would draft at 3-4" easy. storage in rear and front for additional decoys and I had a backrest for it. I also made a hard cover for towing and storage. I think it weighed about 150#ish +-. Inside and out had a coat of resin with cloth and the seams were doubled up with a final coat of resin all over, sanded then painted. The custom gray I did for it made it disappear in the open water. I also had camo grass mats fitted for hunting in cattails or marsh grass. I did not hunt with a dog from it, didnt have one at the time....Fun times though!!!!

5,000 to 7,000 I really like the beavertail boats but out of my price range.
Those are nice boats, when I hunted Long Island I talked to a guy who had one there, I think he had a 10 hp or a 15 on the back. I was impressed with it
