You will be hard pressed to find another BBSB like this one that you can have the best of both worlds. A traditional BBSB or 2 person "pop up" style hunting....
Up for sale is my 12' all glass 1984 BBSB made by AERO Marine. I had completely gutted the semi planing hull back in 07' as I am meticulous and organized and wanted my rig to reflect such. Here is the link as I showed it here on the site... http://www.duckboats.net/...h_string=bbsb;#48692
The fore and aft are completely foam filled less a small box where the battery is kept. All new wire was run and it was all marine grade, any splices were soldered sealed and shrink wrapped. It has Nav Lights, fish finder, led interior lights, Bilge pump and 12 outlet wired to a marine switch panel. Any hardware used in the rig was either brass or stainless steel. Wood used for the flooring, shelving and decoy racks was cedar and the grass rails were made from solid mahogany. All wood was sealed with RAKA epoxy prior to painting. The entire rig recieved a coat of Lou's FME in dead grass green.
The boat can be hunted a couple ways. First would be your traditional sneak box style. I have a custom made 2 piece dodger that covers the fore and aft made from codura 1000. Notice the pics below for the different stages the dodger can be arranged. I also built a "pop up" style blind so I could hunt 2 out of it as the cock pit is 54" long by 42" wide. As I said I am organized so hunting two was no issue.
I ran a 15hp elec. start 4 stroke on it and it would top out around 18-22mph loaded with gear, myself and dog. It is really well balanced and has a great posture/attitude in the water. I have gotten caught in some very nasty stuff and this rig has continued to outperform my expectations, BBSB's have truly earned my respect here. I am keeping the suzuki but am selling the rig with a 10hp Johnson seahorse. This motor was serviced and placed in storage where it has sat for almost 10yrs. I took it out, checked it for dry rot (none), checked the water pump and all looked good. Attached the fuel and three pulls later she was running. This motor has always been strong.
The trailer is a 1999 karavan and I also rewired this at the same time as the boat, again soldering, sealing and shrink wrapping any splices.
This rig has been very good to me and I have taken care of it meticulously. It now has once again a fresh coat of FME and is ready to hunt. I am selling as I bought a bigger boat for which my two sons will soon be joining in my addiction, I hope.
