2023 Chene Gear Wader One Year Review
Here is one my one year review of the Chene Gear Waders I purchased in the summer of 2022. I hunted six different states in the fall of 2022 and these waders were flawless. Really comfortable for long day sits. Please check out my first initial review from the summer of 2022 here ua-cam.com/video/pP-B30eoevk/v-deo.html

    I hunted that same front you hunted just before Christmas in 2022, but I was on the Kansas Side. Great hunt that day! I appreciate your review. I wore Sitka Waders all season of 2022 & 2023 and really liked them, I started wearing Chene waders this season. The big difference I noticed was weight in regards to the actual material. The chene waders are much more robust. With that said, I felt like the boots in the sitka waders were lighter and more nimble than the chene gear waders. What were thoughts in regards to comparing those two waders side by side in ease of movement and nimbleness?

    How does this boat sit at the water line? My biggest complaint of my 1230 jon is its very easy to submerge the back corner if you put any weight on it. I've swamped my boat several times. I'm hoping a 1240 has a little better buoyancy.

    I went from a Tracker 1036 for trout fishing with a Merc 2.5 hp and a 45 lb electric trolling motor. Loved that thing!! Then I had just a 20 ft Sun Tracker Fishin Barge 20 with a Mercury 90 hp 4 stroke and I already had a Lund 1775 with the same motor, different year. Love those, but got back into fishing with some buddies that all go out on small boats in small lakes with decent to big fish! There are a few bigger lakes as well. I had that tracker out in stuff it was never intended for, but being only 1 person in them, they did really well. If there were a couple of guys, there’s more opportunities to sink one corner of the boat and swamp it. Now I have a Marlon 10/51. It’s 9’10” long and actually only has a 49” wide bottom. Not sure how they get away with advertising it’s 51”,,,,, REGARDLESS, it’s a great boat!! It tracks very well. The entire hull is all welded, the sides are same height as the transom all around and it’s sturdy!! Even with 36” on the Tracker, there were times you just didn’t stand up. With the new Marlon,,,, no worries!! It’s heavier, naturally, but only 105 lbs. it’s bare aluminum, so no annoying paint damage always in sight. I put floors in, it already has a thin foam product on the seats and I can move around quietly in it. I now have a 6 hp Merc on this one and the same 45 lb thrust Minn Kota. Doesn’t use any more battery than the 36” wide Tracker and there’s a lot more room inside. In calmer waters I have been out with a buddy in the boat with me. We both could stand and cast at the same time. I ordinary fly fish for trout and Northern Pike. Biggest trout this year from it is 27” Rainbow and 30” Brown, biggest pike was 43” and 26lbs. I let them all go. The trout were hybrids in a Troy lake, the pike was a big mature female. Males never get over 30” around here. Love the boat! Was gonna get a Lund, but like stated, there were supply issues. The Marlons cost more, but are worth it.

      I have both the PPF wood duck with a 6.5hp Briggs motor and a 13hp predator with swamp Runner medium package. I run a 14’ mod V so the boat is oversized for both motors. I was super surprised that the ppf would even push the 14’. It’s slow as heck in open water as one can expect but it pushes through mud like a BEAST. The long tail is faster in open water, runs smoother but doesn’t get through mud as well and takes some getting used too. Neither have reverse. Again my boat is oversized for both. If I had a smaller boat I would definitely go with the ppf. It is lighter and way easier to manage. Plus there isn’t a huge tail sticking out that needs to be hidden when duck hunting. For a bigger boat and more travel needed the swamp runner is the go-to for the last 2 seasons. I push a 14’ mod v with 2 big guys, 3 dozen decoys and a homemade boat blind 12 mph in open water.
