To reinforce scott, yes you absolutely need a sissy bar especially in open water. I'm 76 and have run a 16' jon with a 25hp mud motor for over 25 years. IN a narrow beam boat you are asking for trouble without one. Also standing while running in open water is dangerous in itself. You can't predict when the unseen submerged log,rock or what ever will give you a nasty scare. Doesn't matter how cool it looks to stand, one time of getting thrown out is all it takes.. Oh, and if you don't attach the kill lanyard you are really asking for it. ( Yes I am talking from experience). All that said , yours are the best hunting videos i've seen in a long time.....Be safe and keep it up.....Gene H. central Florida
You need the grab handle option added to your Ebads. It makes big difference having something to hold on to besides just the tiller handle. I'm sure Brock could add that for you pretty quick. I have a Copperhead 18HP surface drive mud motor on my ebads and can hit the upper teens when fully loaded with hunting gear and my dog. White caps are not fun but I just take it a little slower and have never had a problem. Depending on the situation I've been able to keep on plane in about 4-5 " inches of water. Love my Ebads.
I have the sobads and my buddy has the eBads, both with the ppf wood duck. Learning to lean in to the turns like a surfboard helps a ton with turning. Weight shift side to side is just as important as the tiller. Even in chop. Big water it’s best to point and shoot to a shoreline. We hunt Lake Michigan with them and cross some bays from the launch to the hunting spot. They handle some chop if you stay low and to the stern.
1. TH-cam straight up failed and didn't give me the notification of this video until four days after release, and yes, i have the bell set for all notifications. 2. How did you get the costume logo on the deck? That looks sick as can be! Ive been looking into getting a layout boat for myself and your video's help a lot.
It has more storage space and a plaining hull. Better suited for open water I'd say. I need to get it in the marsh and play with it to really be able to compare.
Man you change boats more than i change my oil. Lol looks great! Ill be following this duck season

I like that your motor doesn't seem excessively loud.

What size lightbar are you using? Any issues with too much light reflecting off the boat with it positioned where it is?
How does it compare with the Refuge Runner?

Seems to be about 10 mph. Get an app on your phone to get mph.
Best duck boat ever is the one your buddy owns;)
That thing is nice BUT it is Absurdly priced!!
Grab handle. Seriously man. TF.
