well someone else on hear was talking about budget projects and rebuilding a rifle (maybe jackelope? :dunno:) to a very small budget with help.
I am doing the same with my boat except i am wanting to build a blind for it............
i have been moving back and forth cross country twice in one year and am finnally paying some debt off (pretty much im flat broke) but also want to have fun and a little bit more sucess. so i have to build a huntingwashington.com budget boat blind and am asking you guys for your help into how to do this DIY.
I am thinking of builing some sort of framing with PVC and then spray painting that and covering it with nets or some kind of fabric but am not sure.............DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS???????
would pictures of my boat make it easier.............Oh and it is an older aluminum 12 foot sea-king with a newer 8HP johnson

SISU,
I bought my layout boat on Wednesday. I purchased the marsh rat made by Mallard Marine. I talked with the owner of the company for half an hour before I bought it. He was a pleasure to talk with. I have hunted it two days now and I absolutely love it.

We built a pretty nice one using square aluminum tubing on my cousin's old john boat. We used bimini top hardware, some parachute cord, and bungees, and then attached fast grass. Not sure how much total was into it. But it worked awesome.
sisu:
We have been wondering if one could be made with tent poles? Maybe the kind used in dome tents.
I saw one design that used thin wall conduit and some brackets that were attached to the inside of the gunnels. The thin wall was then inserted into the brackets and the camo was stretched over and around the frame.
Another design, but too expensive now, involved a flipping style blind frame made with 3/4 copper. Infact I've hunted out of it twice and I really like it, but the cost to build now aways is way to much.
Please if you design a blind post the story and pictures in the thread we've stuck here entitled Cabelas blind. Just title your story with a name for the blind and include pictures. Thanks Sisu
