My New Blind

[Chris DeRonde]

Well, I finished or I am almost finished with my new blind for my 14 ft Meyers Alluminum boat. I purchased the canvas and had a local canvas guy help me with the work.

I have been out with it for three hunts so far and it has worked out really well. Today I hunted, winds up to 25 knots by the afternoon and everyone was dry and warm. I still have some more work to do but is is small things and minor adjustments.

Chris; Nice job I like what you did for the motor cut-out.If I may ask where did you purchase the blind material,and cost per yard? I'm Thinking of doing the same for my 16 foot grizzly "tracker" thanks Cas

The best price I found it at was at http://www.huntersdesignblinds.com/ for 16.95 a yard.

These other two companies carry it, but they were out of the pattern I wanted:

I purchased 1000 Denier Cordura in Advantage Max-4 HD pattern.

Chris - Thanks for posting this - I also like the way you have the cut out over the motor - sharp.
