I have a friend that duck hunts, and his boat/blind looks similar to this one. He even trailers it to the ramp like that.
It looks funny being towed down the road.




The one you posted looks more like a tupperware container that you could fish out of. I guess if you added camo, or grass to it, it could be used for a duck boat/blind.

I have seen those. I love to duck hunt and this would not work. Not enough room to "work" and relax.

Plus...those pictures are the exact same...what gives idn

The bottom picture appears to be parallel to the frame of the photo , whereas the top one is not. Plus there is about 1.68974 inches of black on the bottom of one picture and less on the other. idn

it's a trick question, right? the first photo shows seats being sold from yankee stadium and the second one shows seats being sold from shea stadium. i have no idea why those idiots are shooting into the air while there are ducks swimming right in front of them.

My guess would be duck blind. The bow is to blunt for a fish boat.

Yeah, I see quite a few of them in the sloughs of the Delta. They can be used either way.

They easily fit into the back of a pickup, and can be carried down the bank and put into the water (notice the molded in handles on the side).

The blunt bow has a motor mount and is used for an electric trolling motor, in addition to the transom mounted gas one. Or however you'd like.

Bass Pro Shops and places like Cabela's have sold them for years. Heck, they have even been in the Sear's catalog...

They are sold under various names such as Coleman and Lifestyle boats, as well as others.

West Marine sells one very similiar to the one pictured. It has drink holders, battery holder, and I believe some hinged compartments.
If you just want something to get on the water, they seem to do the job.

When I used to duck hunt a lot I would have loved a deal like that. We used a canoe to get out to the island where we hunted. We would stuff about 4 dozen decoys into it, shotguns, food, jugs of coffee, etc.

A boat like SB pictured would have been great. Lots of room for decoys, guns, coffee, etc. Much more room than a canoe.
