:welcome: If you live in the Bar Harbor area you are in the heart of eider country. I grew up on Frenchmans Bay. If you send me a pm I will give you info on where to go in that area. As far as your boat , it will work , just keep a close eye on the weather. This is big water and no place for inexperince, things can turn ugly FAST. But your boat will get you started. As for decoys, to get started L.L. Bean carries the carry-lite brand and will get you in the water and hunting. Also Pickards sportin goods in Brewer maine usually has them on hand. The season is just around the corner.
