What type of boat blinds do you use???
« on: January 31, 2010, 01:51:45 PM »
I wanted to see what type of boat blinds everyone uses if they use the?  I have an Avery Pop up blind and am ready to build a new one.  To flimsy for my 18' boat.

Homemade blind. 1/2" EMT conduit bent to span distance between rod holders in the boat. First year out this fall and worked awesome. Lifts in and out really easy and ships flat in the boat under my tow top.....

I have a Cabelas Northern Flight on my 18'. It needs some modifications for sure, but for the price I paid I am extremely happy with it. If I decide to get off my ass in the next couple of days, I'll post some pics.

I would love to post some, but my computer with all my pictures crashed.  Don't know if I will have any pictures left until after the computer guy gets done with it.  I have about a 4 year hole in the pictures at this current moment.

at Auburn Marine they have an Avery blind on a smokercraft 18FT flat bottom. i'm not sure if its the same one you have, but they list it at $895. It has a nice thick canvas under part that basically wraps the whole boat (its brown, boat is green) and then they hang a textured (like icemans kinda) blind over the top of that. Its kind of a neat setup.

This year i"m building a blind for my dad's 20FT lund for the rare sea duck trips, and I'm going to build a smaller blind for my 12ft alum for the canals/flats.

Flyway specialties pop up,It folds forward and back instead of to the sides, which I needed cause I got a windshield.  Only used it this year cause my new boat is silver, covers all  Way to the water real well, durability I wouod guess will be only average, come up and see it before I take it off for the year if you want  Tony.
