I sell a bunch of these, Young kids that like to go fast generally buy edge/havoc/reaper.

Guys who are a little older, have had a bunch of boats, hunt a lot and have duck clubs that have been around for a long time, mostly buy war eagles.

The right setup is going to depend a lot on where you hunt.

Like actual new? There's so many awesome builders in LA.

Uncle J, Hanko, etc. If I was an OT baller I'd have a 21x60" uncle J.

But I'm an OT poor- so I have a 2003 Custom 18' aluminum rig that is awesome.

What are you actually wanting? Outboard, mud boat, mod v, flat, tiller, cc. That narrows it down a bunch.

Whatever you're going to use it for 90% of the time. Build off that.

If you duck hunt by boat 4 times a year and want to cruise the river with OT 7s all summer then buy a cruising boat.

If you're real mad at the ducks- go all in on a hunt setup.

Gonna need a lot more info of what you are looking for

A new 15 foot “duck” boat could be 12k or 40k depending on what you want

With the price of aluminum right now anything new is going to be pretty expensive. Even a bare bones boat. I would look into a nice used boat and put a new motor if need be.

When I get a new duck boat it’s going to be the new pro-drive 50 hp outboard with the closed loop / keel cooler motor.




Guessing it won’t be cheap.

I have a gator Trax I had built with a 37 gator tail. Fully customizable and I’m sure can find some used as well. I have a 17x54 with hunt deck. Love the boat.
