I tell ya what, I got a pick-up and can fit about 2 doz and would be MORE THAN HAPPY to help you take them to any goose feild around.

I've got a few freinds that might have one 4 sale I'll look into it 4 ya. I assume you don't care if it's covered or not?

I do not care whether it's covered or open. Something in the 6'x12' range should be about right. We might need to construct two levels, as we have 5 doz. decoys.

Fishooter, I may have something for you. It's not 6x12, might be more like 4 1/2x8 or 9' but it has tall sides already built into it so it's more than just a flat bed.
What kind of price are you looking for?

Chris, I'm looking for something inexpensive. What kind of money might be involved with the one you have a line on?
Anthony, we might work something out for a trip or two since you are right there in Riva. Got a layout blind?

I looked at a new 6x10 at Dave's in Glen Burnie today. He doesn't have any used ones right now though. Let me know what your guys says, Chris.

Called him last night and he said he already got rid of it to someone else. I didn't know that, sorry.

A covered trailer will save you a lot of hassle bc if not you'll have to deal w/ a tarp & hope they don't ice up @ night or on your way out + its easy lockable storage.

I thought of that, Russ. A covered trailer is twice the money, though. If I could find a good used one that would probably be the way to go. Used ones seem to be snapped up pretty quick when they come on the market.

Harbor Freight (North Plaza Shp. Ctr. @ Perring Pkwy. & Joppa Rd.) sells a trailer kit about the size you want. Some plywood and hardware and you can enclose it and put shelves inside for multiple layers. Cost probably under $400.00 for brand new.

Just make sure it has standard spindles and bearings.
I bought a Home Depot inported special 10 +years ago and had a hell of a time finding bearings and races for it a few years ago. This year I bought a new axle and hubs so that they are standard 1" bearings and replacements for maintenance will be easy.

Good point. Quality does matter.
