Thanks to you folks I’m almost done with my open design on my Alumacraft 1442. Turned out to be a great and very strong (Cheap ASS Alternative) to a real mud boat. The 42” bottom flares out to 60” and is actually very stable.

I’m running a small Mud motor and its maxing out at 24 mph (one person) w/ a 13 hp Honda motor & 9x10 prop. Got about 4.5k into the mud motor, trailer and boat. Everything is new 2012

DAM what size boat is that behind it haha, nice looking rig

That’s my tournament rigged contender 35' LOA. Yes it’s a bad ass boat. Runs 68 mph w/ twin 350 4 strokes. Faster than my old triple engine Donzi.

I have been obsessed with this duck hunting BS and can’t stop tinkering with the duck boat crap. The reality is that I absolutely suck as a duck hunter . I’m a terrible shot . I just love being out in the swamp in the early morning.

DAMMMMMMM
