Anyone have any good pictures or sites to build a good duck boat? My riding season is officially over

Are you building the boat? Of converting? If you are converting, what are you converting? <BR>I converted our bass boat. I just bought some PVC and made two large rectangles with conectors at the top. I anchored the base to the boat and put one conector bar at each end on top. When you stand them up, connect them at the top and drap your camo over. Make sure the sides of your boat are camoed as well.

There is a duck boat with a home made tower (talked with the guy and its made out of exhaust pipes) at my home marina, that might be an option...

Bass Pro sells a Grizzly Duck Blind edition for like $7600! You gotta be a dunk hunting fool to get your money's worth out of that one. <BR> <BR>If I were to build one...which I may do next Spring, I'd find a used 16' deep V Jon boat with a decent 25 HP...not a flat bottom, and convert it. You can get anything in camo now, and I found a place online that sells rolls of the camo adhesive film, that is used to wrap trucks, boats, golf carts, etc. I'd do the sides and interior in that. You can end up with a sharp duck boat for around $4K if you do it right!

Actually, you want a flat bottom boat. They are more stable when you stand up to shoot. Do the PVC thing like I said above. I think we had a whopping $200 in ours at the end.
