sorry, I saw the video again and still disagree. Yes they are wooden ducks but not. For hunting waterfowl? They are items commonly found in antique stores or home and garden decor stores.
Real decoys that are used for hunting waterfowl from a boat have a weighted keel on the bottom (to allow them to float upright) as well as an eye socket underneath to tie the anchor chord to. Those duck decorations that CPH's wife has collecting dust on her porch would turn belly-up or sink to the bottom if someone attempted to float them as decoys. If you look closer you can see that they aren't even the same species of duck (and there are only two).
Show me a bag of decoys with weights and anchor lines and then you have something worth mentioning.
Question about the float bottomed boat- is it on a trailer or is it lying on the ground?
I'm past the duck hunter thing really, just wanted to point out that they are not plastic plant potter ducks, but wooden antiquey decoy-esque ducks.
I don't remember, I should have taken pictures but I didn't. At this point my memory is imprecise though I think I saw 2 boats: a 20 ft or so center console with a V, and a flat bottom boat. Neither of these 2 boats appeared to be the 26 foot canyon explorer. For a guy who wants to "relocate to Florida because NY is expensive" he sure has a a lot of boats around.
