Handmade Duck Boats with Brad Taylor

June 28, 2023 • ThreeRiversLandTrust • Season 5 • Episode 16

This week, Will is joined by Brad Taylor, Founder of Toller Boatworks. When Brad build his first boat in 2003, based off a Gatorboats Duckhunter plan, he didn't know that would lead to him designing his own line of models one day. Today, Toller Boatworks has placed boats in 14 states across the US from the East to the West coast and been featured in Wildfowl magazine and American Waterfowler numerous times. This conversation covers the craftsmanship that goes into these duck boats, built in the yadkin/pee-dee basin.
