 Homemade Boat Blind
I first welded two pat eyes on each side of the motor and bought two joints of 1'' sch. 80 pipe and had them bent and then i bolted to the bow
Next i hung some old trawl webbin on the pipes and weaved a small rope through the bottom of the webbin and tied it to the corner of the bow and the corned of the stern
then i just bought some of cabelas northen flight marsh grass and just attached it to the webbin with zip ties

 Re: Homemade Boat Blind
Looks good, pretty much exactly how people do 'em around here, simple and effective. One thing if you wanted to change anything- I've seen the bow end connected on a single bolt through both tubes, pivoting in the center. This closes the bow up a little, but you'll still need something to cover the end so it doesn't really matter which way you go.

 Re: Homemade Boat Blind
I'd have a rig exactly like that if I could get a float blind license here in NC. There's a limited number, you gotta wait til somebody lets one go or dies basically to put in the annual drawing for one. The more I think about it, the more I see hunting here is a biatch. No shooting after 4:20, no hunting sundays, blinds are almost impossible to get. Eesh.

 Re: Homemade Boat Blind
put a lil black and brown paint on it so it dont stick out like a yellow soap box, but that does look good and will do the job.
