A generation of hunters buying calf tags over the counter didn't help the predicament you are in now. I grew up in the heart of 'moose country' in ON and its nothing like it used to be.

I want to play too
My duck hunting boat. 17' Mod-V
With the scissor blind built
Out on the high seas
Nice rig!
Mind if I ask what's the top speed with a 70 on the back?
I am working on something similar its a Sylvan 1750 Pro bass, it starts life as an aluminum bass boat but I have gutted everything including the console to convert it to a barebone with a 50hp tiller.
I've only done a speed check once (via GPS) and I had on board:
- My 220lb fat ass
- My very pregnant wife (she gave birth 2 weeks later)
- My 55lb dog
I topped it out at 36 mph (58km/h)
Thanks for your post!
Very nice so under ideal condition with one person onboard very likely it will hit high 30s or even 40s that's plenty for fishing and hunting.
btw: what you make the blind with emt conduit?
Cheers
For the blind I bought this kit that attaches to the gunnels:

And for the rods I used emt conduit (10') lengths.
For the blind material I bought rolls of camo fabric and sew a loop at one end to thread it over the conduit like a shower curtain and then roll it up and fasten it with velcro strap when for when I'm on the move.
FYI the kit I bought took nearly 5 months to arrive, they only make them when they have enough orders.

My latest one, haven't even got it wet yet
Thats the same setup I'm after for my next boat. What kind of boat is it?
Its a fish-rite fishmaster 15' (distributed by marlon in Canada) with a merc 40 four stroke jet (60 hp powerhead, 40 at the pump) 5086 welded aluminum hull with an 82" beam.
Should be perfect for taking me steel heading on the skeena and up the rivers moose hunting.
That there is one nice clean boat.
My next boat is going to be 15' style like this but I want a bit more power than you have set yours up with.
Have more pics re hull design that you went with.
I'd be heading up the Kasiks river that is definitely where I would head in been far to long since I've fished there.

There's a video at the bottom, specs on the side. Mine is set up the same as the demo boat, big tiller kit , 60/40 merc jet
and a chubby old guy at the tiller.
I'll be fishing the kasiks as well as a few others , no shortage of good water here.

Your alowd 5 in your possession
We take his boat out on a annual late season hunt each year
Ther is no predators on the Island so once a year we make this trip to thin them out a bit and provide food fore the village
I've shot 20 - 30 of those Sitka blacktail mostly around Sandspit been years since I have been there though.
Back then 3 was the possession limit so I would shoot my 3 box them up and send them down on the plane with my parts return shipments.

Nice halibut biggest I ever caught was 75lbs but my dad and older brother landed one that was 300+ lbs at the top of the north island.
Is that a ling cod or the biggest bullhead I've ever seen body seems a bit short too me to be a ling.
