Charlieboy I found it at a local metal shop. I live in Waukesha. If your close to the area I can give you the place, other wise try a local metal shop search for your area.

J.L.-- P.M. me and I will give you a web-site etc. for building a blind that will cover the entire boat and still make it easy for the motor. That site you posted, wow, alot of expensive stuff there. Anyway, it's up to you if you are interested. . FYI- this will be how we did ours, simple and works great and durable.

WIGoosehunter, Where'd you find the square metal tube? Thanks, Charlieboy

Easy to do... I modeled mine after this one. http://www.duckhuntingchat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=40386 Hope the link is OK with big brother...

Benelli 4572 let me know if Duck slayer doesn't want it. I'll drive over and take it off your hands. Had one of the best birthday hunts for my beau last year in Jefferson cty.

where you live. I have one you can have for free.

Go to the boat store, buy your self 4 oar locks, two for the front, two for the back. Screw them into the side of the boat as far back as you can go in the back and about 1 foot or so from the front of the boat. The front of your blind is going to hang over a bit, but its the easiet way to make a blind for a V boat. Than you buy square tube metal 1/4 inch thick I think I used. Measure the length of the back from the I hole of the oar lock to the other I hole in the back. I think I gave myself another inch on each side of the I holes for the back. Take that lenght and cut yourself the same lenght for the front. Drill holes were the oar locks will be and run bolts through them and the metal square tubes. Run a thinner gauge metal from the front to the back on both side and you have your square base. Than you make your pop up sides like in the blind you can buy from cabelas. I use bungie coards to hold it up. I ran a net on both sides and than zip tied the grass to it. Ran me about 150 total and was a great summer project. Its kind vage, but I can describe more if you want.
