I haven't had it on a boat with a GTR, but had it on a boat with a prodrive and a GDSD, and it works fine.
With the GDSD you have to put the handle on a taller pin to open and close the blind, but it works.
Shouldn't be a problem with the GTR.
I like those blinds too, just a little expensive IMO.

Yes I do.
And learn from my mistake, make sure your muffler is cooled off before covering! haha
Ask me how I got a hole in my blind?

I have an 1860 Extreme and the 1800 series BT blind. Love it. I have friends with the 1600 series and 2200 series; way too short and way too long, respectively. I have the pointed bow, so I had to cut half a foot or so of the conduit frame so that it would fit "inside" of my hull. Just unbolt the front and figure out where you need to cut the conduit, drill new holes and bolt er up. I don't remember, but I may have had to cut some of the inner sleeved square tubing in the front frame. As far as covering the motor...I don't, I run the back over the hunt deck and then put a piece of camo cordura I rigged up over the motor. I have a shit ton of raffia on mine, so I bought another travel cover and snapped them together. Just got a new phone or else I would post up some pictures.

I have a Beavertail 1600 series (converted to a 1800 series, minus the 4th shooting hole) on a 1848 Gator Tail boat before they did the hunt decks. Running a 36 PD on it. I cut the hook ends off the blind frame and mounted them to mounts on my boat. This year I put a spacer between blind and mount to lift blind up a bit. Here are a few pics that i could find. If you want more, let me know.
