Post Got my boat blind finished
My Prodigy came with the blind frame and wind stopper screen stuff on it that Chad was using. I was going to buy the Rancho Safari panels but i decided to try and do something on my own. I get more satisfaction doing things on my own.

I went to a local store and bought some camo netting, burlap, and raffia grass. The burlap was a pain in the ass. I did one side like that and put some raffia grass in with it. The other side is strait raffia grass. Basically I have 2 different type of camo patterns so I can better adapt to where I might be. Overall I am satisfied with it. I just need to let it sit out in the sun for a lil bit to help dull the new colors down.

Still trying to decided how I want to handle covering the top and the boat seats. I have a 12" LED bar on order right now. Onboard charger for both batteries will also be getting installed soon as well.

I like the idea of different camo on either side. Thought about painting it to match where you were hunting

Blind looks good. You will like that light as well. I run a 30" and a 6" on each side pointed out about 60* No need for a spot light.

I would spray a light coat of olive drab green on the lights tan raffia. I've noticed on sunny days that stuff is looks almost yellow from a distance
