There were only 205 square-stern Duckers built - all in 1958 - but it was not a success and the DO model was quickly dropped. IMHO the double-enders are structurally stronger, and much more versatile in heavy cover. And yes, you can put a small motor on them with a fairly simple mount. Mine actually came with a motor mount, but I scrapped it because the Ducker is so easy to row and pole, a motor is just an unnecessary complication. For an ultra-light, ultra-stable go-anywhere duck boat, the AlumaCraft Ducker has no equal.
