2014 Bankes Boats 14' Dominator

The next generation of boat blind has arrived. The all new Bankes 14" Dominator is here! We started from the ground up to bring you a duck boat for the 21st Century. A boat that reflects the needs and demands of the modern hunter. The hunting pressure on today's birds demand that you go further and get into places others can't. The Dominator only draws 4-5 inches of water, so you can get into places you thought were impossible.It's unique reverse transom design pushes mud, cattails, ice, etc., away from the boat ensuring you can get out with ease. The hull has been designed with the Bankes exclusive R.T.C. ( reverse tunnel chine) hull design that turns spray down keeping you dry, even in the worst of conditions. It's sharp "V" bow slices through waves giving you a superior ride as well as parting natural vegetation, making the boat easier to hide and causing less damage to the marsh. The "V" in the bow turns into a flat bottom, giving you excellent shallow water capabilities. The R.T.C. hull design allows us to have a smooth flat bottom, with no strakes or keels, and still maintain the best cornering and handling of any duck boat on the market. This also means if you get stuck on a mud flat or the tide goes out there is nothing to dig in, making the boat easier to push. With it's "V" shaped bow the boat has excellent ice breaking capabilities, and we even reinforced it with Kevlar to make sure it was bullet proof! The interior liner in the boat has allowed us to construct the Dominator in a very unique way. The boats are completely foam filled, right up to the deck, and all the foam is sealed behind the liner so it will never get wet or deteriorate. This unique process has also allowed us to get the maximum amount of foam in the boat. In fact when tested at the US Coast Guard testing facility in Maryland 6600 lbs was put in The Dominator, and it was still afloat
