 Re: motorized decoys
Have had 2 of my 5 for about 8 years and just last year the original motors started acting up. Sent them in and got motors changed out. Other 3 I've had for about 6 years and no problems.
The new motors using now are way better then even 3 years ago.
Walter (owner) is a good guy and has put lots of work into these decoys. They are built in a small shop in Marshall, TX where I grew up. He only has at most 3 or 4 people including himself building these things so there is quite a bit of quality control. He will take care of you

 Re: motorized decoys
A guy I used to hunt with worked there before he went off to college. One hunt we went on we had 2 dozen wonderducks as our spread. Worked out well. One on a pole with just wings, one on the water with wings and the rest were swimmers. The ducks loved that spread. Never picked up a call. Walter is a good dude. Known them all my life. I've still got a few left that I've had for 8-10 years and still working good
