Lots of planning has gone into it..

Thank ya on the congrats

Got one side completely camoed up, roof and roof supports built and installed


Painted floor, still need 2-3 cans of black sprat paint for a few studs that are still silver. Also have to paint tge hog panels, that should be fun..

Dont pay attention to the panels/shooting flap on right.

I'm still experimenting with size, mounts and stowing..

So are you just going to float it out to your spot and tie it up and leave it floating there or going to drive out to your spot in it.

I thought about doing the same thing but am worried about theft.

It's going to be towed out and left all season. I'm stealing it down on the corners with an unknow metal piece, lol

I'm also making it hard to get into with out keys.. Yes a person can still get in but there's nothing inside to steal.. Basically just to keep "not their blind" hunters out.

you talked to the man in the green truck about that?

that thing is huge

So is this blind gonna be left out on a public reservoir?????

Cody, Can you leave it out there all season?

On the lake it's going to it can be placed 30days before and must be taken off no later than 30 days after season

On day when I find a "good" deal I'll put a 100hp motor on it, not now tho with the first baby on the way

10/4 Thats cool!

Looks good to me. If set up right I can see you spending all day out there and momma wanting to know where your at lol.

She already wonder that, lol

She thinks I'm nutz!

I have been working in this for 4 days 7am-8pm with very little time away, other than trips to Lowes. She has been worried im gunna keel over from heat exaustion.. But I'm stay hydrated then dehydrate after dark. I have been having a ruff time sleeping because of the few design conundrums like tge dog door, real door and shooting flap... The three most important things other than staying afloat lol

I don't think people will get in and steal anything. I would be more worried about someone figuring out how to float it away and keeping it. Or worse, you roll up on it at night and there are already a couple of guys in it... Can't tell them to get out because its public hunting...

Nice work!!

The theft of it is always possible, the lake it is going to is very small and we are very close to both launch ramps/marinas. The owners live on the property and know if it is pulled out by someone other than me, shoot to kill, Jk call tge sheriff

I'm trying to figure out away to lock er up so I don't have to worry about that situation.

True dat. Someone else beats you out there and you got 2 choices----get ready to hit the bank, shed the waders and go toe to toe....or, hit the bricks. GW comes out there and he'll tell you tough chit and could ring you up for interfering with their hunt. To each his own but it ain't worth the hassle to me to leave it out there. But it's your show, scooter. Just be prepared for Barney to be in there puffin on a square and sippin on a cup of Jo cuz it's gonna happen.

Luckily I'm hunting buddies with the game warden he will be with me more than once!

Like I mentioned hopefully I'm intelligent enough to figure out a way to secure it.. Still workin on that lol

I need some help guys, I have two neoprene bench seat covers and want to upholster my custom 7' bench for the toon, I need recommendations on padding that can get wet and won't mildew?

That is easy. Weld some rings on the 4 corners and when in your location drive a post smaller than the ring so it can float and move up and down with the water and at the same time it can't be stolen with out a lot of effort being put into it.

You need to look into a garage style door system for your shooting windows.

Run a set of track on each side of the frame (2 windows split in the middle). Extend the track past the the blind twards the water 8 inches longer that the hight of the window. Attach a spring to the bottom of the window which will be attached to a post you have driven in the water. This will allow the door to "Spring open. Use two pull lock at the top with a rope tying the two together. . When you pull the locks the door will slide down the track quit fast with the force from the spring. This system works great and you never have to worry about guys jumping early.

I got that part figured out lol, like on my buddies gatortrax. Thx tho that could have been great if someone didn't kvow
