Hey Guys i need some help. I have a 1997 14 ft tdb classic, i have the regulkar blind that came from the factory as well as a rain roof, but the snaps on the bottom of the blind no longer reach to the button on the boat where they snap onto, does anyone know where i can get a replacemnet blind?. I was alos thinking that if i have to get a new one, i might move the holes on the top rails for inserting the pipes for the blind up about another 8-190 inches so that you can get some more elbow room wityh the blind up when gunning with two guys, has anyone ever modifies their TDb like that. Cuz with the blind up it is tight with two hunters....real tight.
Any info or opinions are appreciated. Thanks
 
Jay,

Try putting the blind on the poles and leave it hang on the side of the boat. Spray the blind with your garden hose and then begin stretching the canvas back to the attachment buttons. It might take a little time and stretching but it should stretch back out. Your blind has shrunk just like a tee shirt does.
Give it a try.

Also, if you seek out a replacement, let me know if you find one. I've got the side shooter on mine and would like to get the full around with optional rain roof.

If you can't get it to strech as suggested, it woudl be a pretty quick and cheap job for a canvas shop to fix. They could either cut off the fabric with the snaps and splice a piece of fabric in or fabricate an extension that snaps to the blind and then to the boat.

Much less expense then a new blind.
