The boat is made from layers of handlaid fiberglass or kevlar. Support along the
sides as well as both ends of the boat make it very durable. The duck boat is light enough
to be easily car topped.

This is a double pointed duck boat with a very low silhouette that
also can serve as a layout boat for a solo hunter. It handles well with one person carrying gear
and a dog. Although it can accommodate two persons, it performs best when soloed. Suggested uses include placement of decoys, layout shooting, jump shooting, sitting or kneel shooting, a floating blind or platform, retrieval of game and transportation to and from your favorite spot. In the off season it can also be used for recreation paddling and fishing.

A unique feature of the duck boat is the rollback cockpit combing above the deck which sheds
water in rougher conditions making it very seaworthy. Due to it's wide width and relatively flat floor
construction the boat is very stable. Another feature is a one inch molded keel running the
length of the hull which provides better tracking. Ease of paddling is due to the hull design which allows the boat to glide effortlessly through the water. It can be propelled with either a single or double bladed paddle or punt pole.
