My Prodigy Boat Review

After years of searching and reviewing several boat manufactures for my dream waterfowl hunting boat, I ultimately opted for a custom #ProdigyBoat with #MudBuddy Motor. This video highlights many of the features that I was looking for and found in a new Prodigy #DuckBoat.

Boat:
It comes with a flat floor to avoid stumbling around in the boat with a loaded firearm. The storage options are plentiful including a front hatch for life jackets, spot lights, folding chairs, etc. Built tough with .125 marine grade aluminum that includes longitudinal bracing. Love the custom drop deck fishtail which provides ease of access getting in/out of the boat both in and out of the water. Pointed bow with short v-rake and ice breaker. Flat bottom for shallow water. Interior lighting in the hull and storage boxes. Hydro-turf on all flat surfaces provides non-slip traction with wet boots. Removable gas tank located under the bow to help displace the weight. 8" catwalks with cup holders to provide a complete blind experience. Lightweight shelf to keep guns, poles, lights, etc. off the floor. Matching camo paint job on the hull and motor. Tapered corners without hard points. Added a DIY boat blind with the Shaggy Blind material and camo pattern wind blocker fabric for concealment.

Motor:
The 40hp Mud Buddy motor comes with a 3 year manufacturer warranty. The BPS Q Muffler with K&N air filter adds increased horse power. The momentary forward button on the motor will be great for picking up decoys. HDR includes reverse. EFI provides easy startup in even cold temperatures without the hassle of choking.

Trailer:
Prodigy uses a galvanized Tennessee Trailer. Includes the swing tongue for shortened storage requirements. Total length from back of motor to front of trailer is 20 feet with the 17 foot boat. Includes a back step for easy access into the boat.

Blind:
The blind is a DIY blind made to custom fit the contour of the boat. Started with some EMT conduit and a pipe bender, bought some fittings on Amazon, added the 500D Cordura Nylon - Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades fabric for wind block, and finished with the Shaggy Blind material. I think it turned out really well with the double bar frame to add extra room inside.
