Who out there makes a good boat blind for a 16' jon style boat? I have a 16' G3 with a side consloe.

We made two in the style of Cabelas Northern Flight?, the fold down to the gunnels style for a 19 and 21 Carolina Skiffs.
Used 3/4" EMT, and military desert camo panels. Worked very well at a low cost. Just look at the pictures in the catalog to see the details, very simple.
Can't say for commercial models.

I picked up a used Avery quick set complete with windblocker and camo layers. While I wouldn't pay retail for it I am pretty impressed at how well thought out and constructed it is. I bought it for about what it would have cost me for materials to build a scissor blind. If you're looking for quick and easy and don't mind paying its a decent option.

Check out the beavertail blind if you dont want to build your own. Folds to one side and is easy to set up.

Just finished my DIY scissor blind today. Total cost: $200
I used 3/4" EMT, 1" square aluminum tubing for cross members, SS bolts, and new burlap/camo netting. Already hunted with it, and the only improvement in the lurch is to add spring pins to act as the scissor pivot points.
Will post a pic soonest.
