Little Skiff???? My boat is a Lowe 18ft 6 degree bottom, the other 2 in the blind are both 18ft. but the one we use in bad weather is extra wide and deep, older model Polar Kraft, no problems. Mine has 60hp Eveinrude, boat #2 has a 50 Merc. and the big one is a 70 Evin. That big boat has saved my bacon more than once. We have about a 4 mile boat ride to the blind and we are in a large bay just north of lock and dam 18 on the Mississippi. You used to be able to see the blinds from the satillite images but I haven't looked for a while.
A small boat is not what you want when a south wind starts blowing, and that's our prevailing wind most days. I've even stayed at the dock a couple of times cause I thought it was too rough.

Skeet, that's almost the exact same load we used except we used Herco powder. I had an old Winchester Ranger at that time and my shoulder still hurts when I think of it. LOL One heck of a pheasant load tho.
