    Scaup 18 or Honker.

    A couple of options but not a 100% yet. I have a couple of potential customers that we may be able to build their boat in class as I won't have time until 2023 with already having an order for next year. I've also thought about building the ATC I'm slated to build next year and donating the...

    Scaup 18 or Honker.

    Hey Larry, I live in Salisbury and work at South Rowan High. I did however go to Stare, so familiar with Apex.

    Scaup 18 or Honker.

    Thank you Dani! Thanks Eric. Not too worried about the budget, if I have to I'll come out of pocket and either donate or get it back when we sell it. Granted without the study plans on either, not a 100% on the bill of materials. I'm able to get the fiberglass and dimensional lumber donated...

    Scaup 18 or Honker.

    First off, ages since I've been on any of the message boards and I mostly lurk. Just a quick update, still building boats on the side as Toller Boatworks and teaching school. However, I took the woodworking/carpentry position at the local high school last year and am in absolute heaven. We...

    Location of Hull ID on 1980 Higbee Sneakbox.

    Hey Dave...if the previous HIN starts with NC someone had titled it as a homebuilt as HIN numbers that start with NC are homebuilt. Not sure why someone would have done that unless the boat was stolen at some point or the original HIN was damaged/removed. As the previous poster said, there...

    Boat Sale with a Cause

    Hey guys...I rarely post and most often just lurk but touched base with Eric via Instagram and he gave me the OK. Many of you might remember that I teach school but have the side business of Toller Boatworks where I've been building duck boats for almost 2 decades now. Most recently I've been...

    Beretta A400 Xtreme, SX3 & Other Guns/Gear For Sale

    Doing some safe/garage cleaning to make room for a few others. Not in need of the cash, just trying to consolidate. I have priced everything to move, don't want to haggle and don't want to trade. Would rather sell the guns in person, but if you want to ship them you will be responsible for FFL...

    Crazy Story that I just wanted to share!

    Thank you Brandon. I was a little floored to say the least! Thank you Mr. Ligman. I actually had someone else bring up the wires at a 90 degree angle off of my Toller Boatworks facebook page. I'm always up for constructive criticism and really do appreciate it. Aside from the use of some...

    Got the motor on the other week. Ran 29 with myself and Cole. Similar speeds to the original NFZ but a heavier boat so I'm happy. Quick paint job this morning. Wife is away on a girl's weekend so Cole and I are going to take a little ride in the am to look for ducks. Brad

    In Praise of "Older" Guys

    Great post Larry. I've read Old Man and the Boy quite a few times myself including to my son. The book holds a special place in my heart, as my step dad who taught me so much about the outdoors and woodworking was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's about 10 years ago. Brad

    Crazy Story that I just wanted to share!

    So many of you probably saw my previous post that included the boat I finished for a customer as well as the boat I just built for myself. Well, the boat I built for my last customer wasn't your normal customer! I've known this for awhile but wanted to wait until I had color photos to share...

    Duckhunter Plans?

    As far as I know they are still in business, unfortunately I don't have any other contact info for them other than what is listed. I am admin and moderator for their forums and have yet to see anyone get stiffed for a set of plans. I will add that while the DH design is adequate for a mud...

    Well, she's done sans motor! Couple of pics of the lighting at night. Real happy with the lighting. Name on! Removable grab bar. Aluminum transom bracket on. Still need to silicone around the edges. The guy who does my brackets has a plasma table and scribed the logo in the bracket...

    You are correct. While still louder than an outboard, I've been running the Q muffler on my old motor/boat combo. It gives the performance gains but keeps the decibels at a much more tolerable level. Here's a pic of the old motor/boat, the new motor will look pretty much the same...

    It's definitely a tough combination, in 10 years I never did any damage to the bottom other than a few little surface scrapes. The only experience I've had with Dynel is using it as imitation canvas on the scull I restored. Brad
