Hunting And Duck Boats

Hunting and Duck Boats are, as their name suggests used for hunting in general or ducks specifically. Many hunters use Jon boats, and duck hunting boats share a lot of similarities to them in size and construction. The popularity of the Jon boat meant manufacturers began making modifications to the traditional boat, and began offering truly customized hunting and duck boats to serious hunters.A dedicated duck boat will include features like hides, or blinds, console steering, drink and shotgun shell trays, lights, gun boxes and different seating options. The color scheme is almost completely dark or camouflage, painted to reflect the environment the boat will be working in.The boats are also constructed with other outdoor pursuits in mind too. Owners can as easily fish from these boats as shoot, as manufacturers realize that multipurpose use is a big selling point. Notable manufacturers of hunting and duck boats include War Eagle, Alumacraft, Sylvan and Triton. The market is wide, and there are many smaller builders out there who will hand build boats to order. The price for a boat reflects its relative simplicity, with a 2009 Alumacraft 1448 costing just under $5000.
