How much are Duck boats?
I`m looking to buy a new duck boat and trailer that I`ll pull using my 1988 thunderbird. It has massive low end torque to haul stuff maybe too much, cuz of the small truck style camshaft.
I want to try out for a small local tournament for kicks. I have an old flasher unit and a trolling motor. |

I'd say just about any jon boat would fit the bill [hardy harr har] but our shallow water duck boat is a 14'[?] gheenoe, painted up in camo with a 15HP Johnson when permitting, or a 5HP when we hunt lakes with regulations. It, once again, fits the bill [Hardy harr har]. But you are just looking for a small boat to fish out of, a jon boat is great, as well as a gheenoe. Just depends on how much room you need.

Yes, maybe not as good as Flyrod, or JB, but I make do.
And to actually answer your question Nut, you are looking at ehh I'd say anywhere from 700$ to a Thousand and so. Just depends on what you want, and how good a deal you find.
