My kayak is as well. I have an ocean kayak prowler and use the yak gear kayak blind to cover it. Has drawstrings to keep it tight to the boat sides and places to strap stubble down

I have about this same set up and love it. I put a tall lay out blind on mine due to a bad back and it works great for me.

Cut the bottom out of the blind and mounted it to the boat so I could remove it quick if I need to. Brushed it in and it works great here. My son Steve has the same setup.

What light are you using on your kayak?

If that question is for me it's a Alpena LED from Autozone part number 86623. Works great!

I would really like to something made out of aluminum that is finished out like a gheenoe or towee skiff. Where it is still somewhat light weight for 1-2 men can hand launch, stable, can put a 10-15hp SD,LT or OB on it and get 20+/- mph out of it, the hull is built well enough it can take some punishment, it can be taken out in some rougher water and haul some gear, and have a hunt deck on it. I think that would be the perfect boat for me.

Anyone know if some one makes one?

Assuming you're talking about that skiff that catwhacker posted you're wanting everything in a boat. Low profile hidebboat that does 20 smd takes big water. Be like posting in the want ads looking for a unicorn

Mine is not even close to a big water boat and won't do 20 mph. If the wind comes up you had better be headed to the launch. My boat really works great but you better use your head or you could be swimming! I live in Michigan and use it on the rivers and smaller lakes. I have a bigger boat for big water.

Cat I bet you can get those ducks to land on you in that rig though. It's good at what it's good at.

I live on a lake up here and it has a small dam on it. The DNR lowers the lake about a foot and a half the first part of Oct. This boat allows me to get into the cattails where the mallards like to go. Love the thing and it really hides well in the cattails.

JMO, you are really defeating the purpose of a layout blind with that high profile set-up. I actually hate using layout blinds and hate using my layout boat as a layout blind, my preference is to sit upright on a stool in natural cover, so I can drink my coffee. I use cheap dove stools from Academy, and cut the pouch off. May favorite is a dove chair got from academy below, with back rest, folds up, I cut the pouch off, drill holes in the bottom so water drains out..

What I like about my layout boat is I don't have to hide it, I can set right next to it, use it as a coffee table and my dog can sit on it, goes really shallow, impossible to get stuck... I use it as a layout blind only when there is no cover, and I'm going for low profile, sometimes I even pull my motor off to achieve a even lower profile. I has a momarsh layout seat, it is just as comfortable as a layout blind.

Guy, I would love to have my boat set up like yours but 3 back operations and 5 fusions doesn't allow me to do that. I can't sit up if I'm too flat! I'm old and worn out!! And we do use mud seats when we can. I also love my coffee!

Look's like a pretty filthy set up!
