I bought this boat from a well known member with all of the intentions on finishing it but I do not have the time to do this with running a business.Here are a few pics.I paid 1200 for it two years ago and I will take 800 for it or trade for guns.This boat has had no work by me all of the other work was done By David Clark,all of you know him as he is top notch.This boat has been inside my heated climate controlled machine shop since I brought it home.Thanks for looking

"Ninety percent is doing the work."

jim, this isnt the same as the snowgoose or any other devlin. so how do i do the bulkheads, knees, decking, floor and other parts without any plans to go by? i dont have the experience to just figure it out. richard, any ideas? best, mark
"Ninety percent is doing the work."

Jim is right the boat would be done along the same lines as the snow goose would be.install the bulkheads and glass the corners of them,then glass the bottom and flip and do the top.

richard, sent you a PM...

Still up for grabs make an offer

I wish it were closer! I'm starting to plan a build this winter and so far the recommendations are for me to build a cackler for my type of hunting. This would of been a great start.

Were do you live?If you are getting ready to build one like this coming to get this versus making another will save so much time and money its crazy.If I remember correctly David said he had 3000 just in materials for this the way it sits.

Sorry, didn't have my location in the correct spot in the profile. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Its a 1100 mile trip down your way one way.

Nova scotia wow.Get me on some big game up there next fall and I will deliver it next year myself!!!Heck I will even throw in a trailer to.

Just bringing it to the top.Make an offer

Hi, do you still have the boat and is it near SC!
I needed yesterday!
I have started a devlin scaup, but would love to finish the cackler.

I do have the boat.I am assuming that SC is South Carolina?I am in Fulton,new York 13069 Quite aways from South Carolina.

Bump to the top.Make me an offers guys and gals.

TTT

to the top make me an offer

Ok make me an offer I want this out of my shop and I have no intensions of finishing the hull.I will take a treade on guns also let me know what you have.

I cant believe that nobody will make an offer here.Seriously make me an offer you,I need the room in my shop so it needs to go.

It has a new home.... made safely in just 7 1/2 hours. Trailered well on my sneakbox trailer! She will be stored away for a year while the project ferments in my mind... sweet hull, David did some nice work on her, hope I will do it justice when I finish it.

Thanks Richard....

Dave,

You are starting a serious addiction that will drain your bank account and give you nothing but blood, sweat and tears. Congrats...can't wait to see how this one turns out.
Cheers,

Mike, it definitly is hurting the bank account, and is the reason it must sit for a year or more.... with the second starting college this month, I need to see how the budget does for awhile. But not many tears... this is a real labor of love. Very gratifying when the boat hits the water!
