Boat needs to go....First $2500 takes it

This is a boat I purchased a few years ago. I had restored the boat and made some basic design changes to set it up the way I like to hunt.
It has won 1st Place and Best in Show at the 30th Annual South Shore Waterfowlers Festival and Duck boat Show.
It has been my go to boat for the last three years and has performed great. It will accomodate two men, dog, dozens of decoys and still has plenty of storage for additional gear.

I rarely keep a boat more than a few years and it is time for this one to go so another boat project can take it's place.
I will sell just the boat or set it up as a complete package ready to hunt including everything you need right down to coast guard kit and decoys. The only option not available is my retreiver. You will have to supply your own.

I have several engine options available if needed. I can also rig the boat with brand new in the box Mercury outboards with full warranty. I work full time at a large boat and yacht dealership where we are authorized Merc dealers and can offer a new motor at a good saving.

Here are a few photos:

The canvas dodger had performed flawlessly. I put a lot of thought, trial and error into this design. I wanted it to fill several needs.
First as a layout boat with the canvas down or off for the lowest profile possible. You will notice the canvas is attached to the foredeck with vinyl awning track secured with a zipper and velcro closure so snow and ice don't freeze the zipper stuck. I did this for several reasons.
When the dodger is not being used the valance is also easily removable from the track.
It prevents any water and wind from getting under the canvas and makes for a nice sized dry storage area forward of the cockpit coaming when canvas is up.

Next as a spray dodger with side skirts to stop spray from coming into the boat and still keep a lower profile and good view of the gunning area around the boat

The next photo was taken before more grass straps were added.

Lastly as a full dodger for those brutal snow squals and driving rain. The placement of the zippers allows for several shooting options depending on which way suits you best. You will also notice the aft enclosure is set back a little from where it meets the top of the dodger. I did this to allow for the canvas to be sewn on as a drip shield off the top. In the hardest of down pours you can still open the canvas from the top to veiw what is going on outside in your rig and not get wet.

Next feature is the folding / removable decoy racks. This allows you to fold the racks over the aft deck for better concealment and the olny thing to stow is the transom sections if you choose to remove them.

Well I think that sums up most of it.
