Duck Blind

[rscabin]

Does anyone have plans or ideas for a blind on a 14' v hull duck boat. Thanks

Here is the one I built. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done. Its on its 4th year, I am hoping to upgrade to a bigger boat in the next two years. The blind frame cost me less than $75. The fast grass can be bought or just tie on real grass. The height is adjustable and it only takes a few seconds to put up or drop down. I used burlap as a backer and a wind shield.

Commander,

Nice rig. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

commander019 looks good. What type of material is the frame made out of. Did you come up with the design yourself or was it a kit.

Thanks

I designed it myself. Not much to it really. I just used 3/4" square stock, a little 1/4" flat stock and welded it together. I just screwed it to the top rail of the boat so it can be removed whenever. Its hinged with some bolts. I drilled several holes to make the height adjustable by placing hitch pins through whatever setting you want it at.

Can you post any bigger pics of close ups of the mounting brackets?

me too I believe...and the trailer looks just like ours too. Think our boat was made in the 50's though and the trailer is from the 70s. Got the whole package for $350 though so can't complain.

I think we're putting an new blind on this year also, so I'd appreciate the bracket pics also commander. Thanks a lot!

It is a 14' but I'm not sure of the make. Never paid attention to that!! The blind frame I made. The boat and trailer was purchased as a package for around $300 years ago. That boat is a tank. It has broken ice and gotten us into some good late season shoots over the years.
