COMMENTS OR QUESTION: I was just wanting to express my pleasure with your product. I have never had as much luck duck hunting in previous years as I am this year. I reside in Wisconsin and don't see many boats with the setup that I have. I have taken a couple of pictures of my boat and setup if you could provide contact information so I can send them to you. I have an Excel 1645SWF with 27 Vanguard and a Fasgrass Blind. Can't thank you enough for a great product and support staff that assisted in my purchase!
