So I decided to finally get around to putting my HT in. It is definitely not a one man job. If you have a couple spare hands use them, I didn't. I used a spray cement and some other kinda cement. It was rather easy till the bubbles came. Crap now what, used a razor blade poked a hole and used a can of paint to kinda role the air out. This is the finished product. Next week is the Bimini and aluminum scissor blind. I have all the material, was gonna start it today but the old lady wanted to go ride in the boat.

Looks good man

Looks great!

Thanks. For the scissor blind, I have the basic idea and reviewed hundreds of build on them. Has anyone built one and modified it to work better I guess. Just a few comments before I start on it.

Looks great, now when your done with the turf, get on those damn trailer boards

Lol yeh I needs do sumthin with that. Idk what the guy had going on before.

Looks like a real good job. But would it have been better to run the grooves the other direction with the boat rather than cross ways? Or does it even matter?

Voodoo I'm sure it does matter and it was the only problem I had with the product. But the way it was cut with the measurements that's how it fell.

With ur scissor blind r u rounding the corners and what r u going to use to attach the pieces together?

You have the damn grooves running the wrong direction.

I know, I know Lol. That what They sent me. If I would have ran it long ways I'd have a 2" gap on either side. Dumb on my part. But he'll it had water on it yesterday and today it doesn't.... so might not be a big deal. As far as the blind it's gonna be aluminum pipe with Bimini hardware to attach it.

Think it'll make that big a difference??

Is that hydro turf green camo or swamp?

It's the green camo. I was gonna get the swamp but They had it in stock. And thanks the stuff details really quick. So I didn't think it would have mattered.

Possibly. IMO the duck grass looks better, but like I said They had this ready to ship. So I jumped on it.

Neither of my 2 previous boats had hyrdroturf, but I've ridden in some boats that have it and it is nice, no more walking on hot aluminum in the mid summer day, no more slipping and sliding. My new boat will have it

After spending a few hour on the water with it Sunday... I'm not gone back to anything else.

I have all the parts to start building the frame, just gotta get the right camo. We hunt flats and woods, which would be the best to wrap the frame with? I have a pretty good idea of what I will hard, just want to know what y'all use. And if it holds up pretty good.

I'm sure glad I went with turf

Any of y'all ever spray paint that fast grass stuff? It's good coverage, just the wrong Damn color for Where I hunt.

I paint mine couple times during the season

Fucking cum guzzling monkey cunt!! I had everything to do my frame set up. Hydraulic Bender, all the bimini fittings. Straps. Well fuck a duck. I go to make my first Ben and instead of a nice round corner I get a crimped corner, what's up with that?

3/4

Apparently the wrong one. Its a hydraulic pipe Bender I got from work. Do they have a special Bender for this or something?

This. I ended up using up a whole stock to try and get it right

I just hit a little youtube search. I was doing it all wrong. Try again tmrw haha.

You guys prefer the Hydro Turf or Neo Mat or are they about the same? before I purchase

Neo mats are neoprene and fade quickly in the sun. I chose hydro over neo for that reason.......

Neo mats are nice to walk on but the color don't last, fades quickly, hydroturf is the shit

I haven't done it yet in this boat. Hunted out of a boat last year and we spilt a quart of oil on the turf. Ran it like that all week. Got back home sprayed it out and it never stained or soaked. Damn good stuff. Dont know much about the neo mats.

You made up my mind I'll stay away from the pretty stuff, glad I asked now. Thanks
