I'm thinking if a blind like this, it will last a while and still be light. The rating sticker on the boat says 2150lbs and I'm thinking of ditching the motor for less weight. Im going to use chain link (painted tan) to cover the tubing and then u can use camo netting, art. grass/reed and a little natural cover as camo..

Strip the deck. Cut the floor to install 3 or 4 coffin style layouts with doors, keeping them flush with the deck. Grass/camo the entire deck similar to the area you normally hunt. Attach sloped sides grassed same as the deck. Basically creating a great natural island diorama. The sides could be hinged so you could pull them up for railing when not hunting. You could add to your diorama fake food source plants, full body motion duck decoys, and confidence decoys like cormorants or a couple cranes. The name on your new boat could be the "Trojan Horse".

If you decide you want to make a small profit, let me know... or if you run into another deck boat in that price range

Rather than using heavy chain link fencing, consider 16' X 50" cattle panels. Cut them to whatever sizes needed and they can somewhat easily be bent into the shape needed. They install and are removed easily and can be camo covered with materials and natural cover.

I'm hooked and ready to make it another successful business! I'm starting with Cast-N-Blast on Fork with my better customers from my fishing guide service to make sure I can supply with results and service! We shall see how it goes as I have great confidence it will be great!

I saw one of those done up with a full kitchen and whatnot. They also had pine/cedar trees planted in buckets that they kept alive year round. It made for some very realistic cover.
I think a good name for it would be......the looney toon! Lol
