Who's the Chapman? May be some long lost kin.

I don't have a picture as this will be my first year without my War Eagle... But I will be hunting out of a Tarpon12 kayak hauled by my flats boat around Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades.

Ron Chapman Shipwright is the manufacturer of the pirogue in the pic. They are by far the best in my opinion which is why I own three of them!

And you will surely kill your share of teal and ring necks from that combo down there! I may be joining you in a couple years if the Coast Guard sees fit to send me back to Florida next time I'm up for transfer! That is, if I don't head back north to Alaska!

Since we are on the topic, which Chapman should a big fella (250 lbs) look at? I see the weight on the Canebrake but I also like the 10' LOA.

That 'rogue my buddy is in in the picture was a cheap loaner, looks like a Chapman but it's cheap chopper gun boat. We borrowed them a few times last season, they got the job done but by far Chapman's are the best out there and I own two of them.
Folks around here would be best suited with the Cottonmouth boat that Chapman makes. Carries a load, more stable, yet light enough to carry solo and can carry two people.
The Canebrake IMO is a crawfish boil, chill some beer and tiny Cajun boat, just too small for hunting. The Copperhead is my best (fastest) boat but at 22" across the floor it'll be way too narrow for the average SC hunter and hunting load.

Welded Duracraft 1436 with a Yamaha 20hp. I bought the boat new after Hugo flattened my 1959 14' starcraft. I got the motor two years ago because I wanted an electric start.

15' Tracker flat - bottom with a 12hp Copperhead. Not a bad little rig even with a dent in the hull (thanks to a t-post) and cracked up steel flex.

I've got a custom rogue I will be float hunting with this year.

DO NOT get the Canebrake!!!!! You will not enjoy the experience!! Unless of course, youre a little fella that weighs less than 150lbs and you still wouldnt have room to carry any gear. Besides, it sits so deep in the water because of the small size that it kills the shallow water performance.
I use the Cottonmouths and love them. I can haul myself and a big load of decoys and gear with no problem. In a pinch, and only in very shallow marsh, I have hauled another man too and from the big boat to the decoy spread. It doesn't leave much freeboard and its not fun, but it is possible.

Whats the turn around time on the pirogues and how bad does it hurt to have it shipped to SC? regular rails or vinyl rails?
Thinking about ordering one.

My cottonmouth or native ultimate will likely see most use this year unless i have company in which case ill probably use the war eagle or prodrive

Let me know. I am considering ordering two Cottonmouths and being done with it. Tired of borrowing...

Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
