My Duckhunter finally decided to start rotting after five good duck seasons. I had to pretty much remove the starboard corner of the bow of the boat due to serious rot. I must mention that I built this boat of 100% house grade cheap wood from Lowes. So the boat doesn't owe me anything. It's lasted longer than I ever thought it would. And after I'm done with it I think it will be good to go for a few more seasons.
I let the wood dry out for a few weeks after I cut the boat open and got rid of the really rotten stuff. Now I've just epoxied some new pieces of scrap wood into place and am about to glass the boat shut. I'm also going to re-glass some spots that need a little help and paint a whole bunch of the boat with some fresh epoxy.
I've decided to add some grass rails. I've never had them before and thought they might be useful. I'll see soon.
