Spent the holiday weekend working on the boat blind.

Looks like it should work. Do you have a motor on it or do you tow it out?

That looks like it'll be a sweet rig when it's done!! All the amenities with the heaters and stove.
We have to settle for a thermos and some hard boiled eggs..

If it were more than seven feet, would you have called it the "Angelina Jolie?"

Nice boat, Whisker.

If it were any wider it would be heavier and I would call it a snag.

She's plenty comfortable at both ends.

Ill still stick to my FA layout blind. A little easier to move away from stale birds.

Towing it will be a pain. We towed our blind a few times last year (its alot smaller than that) with my brothers 40hp yammie and at full throttle did about 10 mph. Against a strong current you would be lucky to do 5mph.

Ive got a few years on the Mo myself Whisker,23 to be excact and 3 rd generation of river know how so yeah your observation on your 1 season on the ways of the river are fair but,old fiberglass punctures easily and depending on what part of the river you run,the channelized I hope or the real one Id be pretty carefull or your hilton will be a flathead house!! one snag or some good drift ice and you will be wishing you had some aluminum under ya!! Good Luck!! corn fields aint that bad!
