I bought my first fiberglass Marsh Rat in 2001 and added a rotomolded Marsh Rat to my arsenal last Fall. I have tried at least 9 different marsh boats and have found the Marsh Rat to be the most effective. The Marsh Rat's portability has opened up areas to me that no one in a full-sized duck boat or even a larger sized marsh boat can get to. My favorite method is to paddle through cuts and get to tide flats that never get any hunting pressure and then use my Marsh Rat as a super low-profile laydown blind. The Marsh Rat is durable, stable, safe, and highly portable. It paddles or motors really well and hides perfectly. Thanks for making an awesome product!

Your boats are GREAT for float trips...They are very quiet, low profile, super stable...on this trip we saw owl, otters, muskrats and tons of other wildlife. I wish I had a better shot of my son, Zach, killing his first goose and mallard using your boat. He is probably one of the best little hunters...and absolutely LOVES his Marsh Rat! We used both Marsh Rats in S. Louisiana last season. They are shorter than a pirouge and paddle or pushpole great!

I've used my Marsh Rat(s) for several years and own two, one fiberglass and one plastic...Love them both.

They tow beautifully, but I use mine more often in shallow swampy areas, both to transport decoys and reach tough-to-get places and for chasing down cripples. The plastic rat is superbly light to handle and can be dragged or carried over most portages. The heavier glass boat is sturdy and stable.

I especially appreciate the youth-friendly aspect of the Marsh Rat. I have no qualms whatsoever about turning my grandson loose in a rat (another reason I've got two) to explore, chase wounded birds and help pack gear. He's also hunted out of it with great success. The boat is so stable he can stand and paddle (if I'm in sight).

Hunting's future requires the participation of our youth and the Marsh Rat virtually insures their success and continued interest.

Hi this is Pat Harrington. I work with James and am the owner of one of the 2 marshrats he just picked up...I just thought you would like this good picture I took on the last day of the season down here when we shot the hell out of ducks that nobody else could get to and hide from. It's not the highest quality picture because I took it on my cell phone but James said you would like to have it anyways.

Thanks for making a great hunting boat! I have two Marsh Rats and love hunting from them. They are versatile, sneaky and make me a better hunter than I am. I use mine in river hunts and use them to haul decoys and retrieve wounded birds. The Marsh Rats draw attention wherever I go. Here's a photo of my son in the Rat.

After talking to you on the phone last week I was able to locate a boat in Federal way. They held the boat with no questions asked and I picked it up Wednesday night. Below is the end result. Thanks a lot for your time on the phone answering my questions....

It was a pleasure meeting you at the show. As I told you...I have used a few different styles of layout boats over the past few years. I had a homemade Kara and also used a couple of other homemade boats...The Marsh Rat has been, by far, the most versatile and stable hunting boat I have used and is a tremendous value. I don't see myself parting ways with my "Rat" anytime soon. I hunt in conditions that will find me paddling against tides and currents and 10 mintues later dragging my boat across a mudflat or wet grassy island. The Marsh Rat is the only boat that has given me the versatility and confidence to hunt the way I want to hunt.
