Why My House Boat May Never Float - Heartbreaking

Part 4 of the Duck hunting River House boat. This weekend was heartbreaking but we pushed through in our attempt to have 43 ft duck hunting house boat read for this falls duck hunting season. Stay tuned to see if we can overcome obstacles and complete the task in time to float down the Mississippi river and hunt ducks.

Check out the full podcast from this weekend over here!

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Definitely! Highly recommended

[@jjmalvitz3460]

Jordan, I’m telling you this is a huge project, actually monumental and my fear is you’re going to get far down this rabbit trail, invested a bunch of money and time, and this flops. I’m a professional captain on the Great Lakes and wooden boat restoration is very time consuming and expensive to do it RIGHT.

[@DuckGunChronicles]

😅🫣 ya that’s my fear too

[@DuckGunChronicles]

To be honest I don’t believe she is too far gone for what we need to do. We’ll have her ship shape by season and there isn’t really a lot of major restoration that needs to be completed but then again I’m not a professional captain but never say never 🧑‍✈️

[@zakkT91]

Jordan watch fishing with Ayo. He completely restored a house boat. Took 2 years.

[@DuckGunChronicles]

@@zakkT91 ya I saw that come across my feed a couple weeks ago he did some major work pretty neat!

[@HokeOutdoors]

What a rollercoaster of a series so far! Looking forward to seeing how the caulking goes in the next episode!

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Haha ya I totally know what I’m doing and it’s gonna be fine 🤥🤥

[@carlvinson8606]

Cheering the team on for the win, but I like the idea of a Plan B to make it into an Air BnB somewhere if it doesn't work as a roving duck blind.

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Thanks! Haha ya that would be a cool plan b

[@caleb6680]

If it doesn’t float just run it ashore and make it a permanent bunk house and duck blind.

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Haha 😆

[@tblazy3463]

Props for trying to restore a wood boat.😁🍻

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Thanks! It’s an adventure 😅

[@powerwashsolutionsny]

Eva foam the floor after you seal it instead of painting it then it wont get slippery during the season when it gets cold

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Thanks for the tip I’ll look into that

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Loving this series! Keep grinding guys!

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Haha thanks Elliott

[@seventeenreasonsails]

you will have to replace the keel section, so it would be a good idea to find the lowest point, next to the keel and remove a plank. Then the rain would have a place to escape. Also are you going to fiberglass the plywood deck when it is all in place?

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Good idea. On the decking we will caulk all the seams and then paint it. If we fiberglass it it won’t be till next summmer due to time constraints

[@zakkT91]

I feel like a multi tool would work to get the puddy out

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Ya it’s a pain I’m not sure there is a good way to get it out 😅 I mean it isn’t really made with that in mind

[@Skeeter4890]

Ok idk if i missed this but how would i go about getting one of those duck gun podcast flannels?

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Unfortunately I don’t have any for sale. I may do some before season if I get a lot of interest in them

[@davemuli2711]

There are a lot of experienced people telling you to run from this project. “A tough man never gives up but it’s a fool who doesn’t know when he is beaten”. I want you to be able to keeping making content and not lose a tone of money. Have a boat restoration professional, advise you on how much money you will need to accomplish what you want, then you can make a decision. Just a 43 year old guys advice from Canada. Stay well.

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Hey Dave! Glad you commented this. I hope I’m not being a fool. I’m definitely a tough man that doesn’t like to be beaten and I won’t give up!

[@ScottHillOutdoors]

I don't know why but Zach reminded me of the girl in silence of the lambs 😂😂😂😂 It puts the lotion on its skin😂😂😂😂😂

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Haha I’ll have to look that part up

[@ZAKOutdoors]

😂 I just hope Jordan lets me out every once in a while!

[@ScottHillOutdoors]

@@ZAKOutdoors Don't hold your breath 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He had me chained to the inside of his bus 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

[@DuckGunChronicles]

@@ZAKOutdoors the Trawler Troll has one jump and that jump is too do all the jobs and guard the boat while we are gone 😤

[@agduke3354]

Dude buy some land near a place you you hunt and park that big sucker in the middle of it and turn it into the dry docked USS Duck knocker lodge….

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Haha 😂 man that would be cool

[@DuckGunChronicles]

I watched it 😂😂

[@tommccormick3890]

The drama title is the worst thing about KZbin. What was so tragic? No need for the fake titles.
