My NEW Duck boat w/ better pictures

H2Ofuzz · 02-18-2009, 05:56 PM

It is a brand new 2006 Tracker Grizzly 1648 and trailer with a 1981 Mercury 50 w/ Jet pump. The motor is completely rebuilt by "Marks Mercs" and is like new and runs even better i could not be happier with it.I came in way under budget at $3644 for the whole set up with registration. Thank you to everyone that gave me there input.

Nice boat! That should get the job done for fishing or hunting.

Looks great. Can you measure how tall the sides are on the inside of the boat for me.=)

That's a nice boat you bought

Dandy lookin boat

Nice boat Drew, I've been waiting to see some pics. It's gonna be a long wait till next fall buddy! What's the front look like on that thing? Congrats on the new ride.

There's proof Drew, if you wait and shop around, you can still get what you want at a great price.

Now the money spending will really start. Let's see now.... fish graph, GPS, duckblind and customising the inside for both fishing and hunting. Oh, almost forgot, an eletric trolling motor to hit all the coastal lakes for bass in a month or two.

You are going to have a good time in that set up. I once knew a guy with a jet boat ducker... was a pretty good set up too.

Remember your float coats ano NO Jumping!

H2Ofuzz · 02-19-2009, 08:58 AM

I put some better pictures up.

Nw dukn · 02-19-2009, 10:55 AM

Looks great..

xstreme357 · 02-19-2009, 11:42 AM

yup, the fun is just beginning now. someone once said "a boat is a whole in which money is poured into..." duck boats are not any different.

i agree mike, and also level floors. makes a world of difference! nice job on waiting to find your boat!

yep, but isn't this kind of spending so much more fun than the power co. or the grocery store!
Besides with the $$ he saved coming in under budget, means he has working capital.
Looks like a great boat to have a lot of fun with. I can in-vision the blind design already.

I know it's not classifieds but if someone wants a duck boat similar to this one PM me. I would want mine to go to someone that wanted to use it.
I have a price in mind and I'm interested only because I recently found I need to sell. Hunting Forum First!

merten · 02-19-2009, 03:14 PM

thats a good looking boat

Old Guys Rule · 02-19-2009, 03:35 PM

Will you be ready to show off your duck blind at the Waterfowl Festival this year?

Oregonhunter · 02-19-2009, 03:48 PM

Nice!!

HawkeyeBilt · 02-19-2009, 03:52 PM

Sweet boat!

H2Ofuzz · 02-19-2009, 05:03 PM

I will definitely be ready by the Waterfowl festival to show of the blind. I guess i better start on it now.

sidewinder · 02-19-2009, 07:36 PM

Dang Drew...That merc IS clean. I think I can leave my boat at home.
You did good buddy!

H2Ofuzz · 02-20-2009, 04:42 PM

Thanks Dave. I put a deck in it today i just need to find a good non-skid paint to put on the deck any suggestions?

merrile · 02-20-2009, 04:57 PM

I see some people are starting to put rhino liner in some areas of the boats

No need to get fancy with the paint. Seal or prime the wood...Then just mix a little silica, or walnut shell in some kind of a ducky color, and that'll do.
