Lots of work to be done

Started putting my checklist together.To see what work I have to do on my hunting equipment. First order of business this year is to work on my camp boat. Its a old clam boat that was modified to sleep two and to hunt out of.
Many years ago a friend of mine use to sleep out in the river all duck season in it. After I bought it from him it sunk a few times. The anchors got twisted when a few ships passed by. After pulling it off the bottom of the bay. I had it all redone inside and out. Now you can hunt off the back of the boat as well as sit inside. I had a stove mounted in it along with a counter top. There is nothing better then waking up it the morning to the sounds of ducks quacking. I have woken up and went outside to do my business and a crane sat right next to me. This years she needs some outside work and a little tender loving care. Shot more deer and turkeys out of to be truthful. But I enjoy the heck out of it. I guess its true. Another persons junk is another man's riches. Lots to do and lots to redo. But it feels great to even start thinking of duck hunting.

I like that set up,it would be nice to wake up and be there,have a little breakfast and be ready for first light.
I would think it would be quite cold and downright chilly on winter nights.
What do you do to not freeze your butt off?

The Boat is warm in the winter has three propane heaters. The whole inside is foamed and is almost air tight. Over head lights. I use to have a 85 horse mercury. But in really wasn't worth keeping it on. I would run it once or twice a year to get the to the bay. It would sit all season, i would start it up when I slept in it. But it wasn't worth the money. So I tow it in and out with my outlaw boat. Less to worry about and also lots less weight. I get get it really far back in the bays now. I don't have to worry about boats sinking it anymore.
