I have listed my Marsh Hawk duckboat, purchased last year, for sale on this site in the hopes of buying a larger boat. I really didnt want to sell, but my father (bad back, bad knees, 70 yrs old) cannot hunt out of the Marsh Hawk comfortably. A member on here suggested I build a blind similar to what is on TDB, Duck Water, Duck Wrangler & Banks boats.
If Dad could sit on a stool in the boat, he would be fine... He just cant handle sitting on the deck as sitting up and getting down aren't easy for him. So I am investigating the feasability & functionality of a blind.
Could anyone with these types of boats please post some photos showing the basic construction? I am most interested in the frame....
PVC or aluminum conduit?
Do the blinds fold down when trailering or running the boat?
How do you attach grass if the blind folds down?
Do the blinds have tops (roof) or is it typically open?
How do the blind supports attach to the boat?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Dad took me hunting many times growing up, now it's my turn to return the favor.
