Layout Boats

[Iambenelliman]

If anyone has any pictures of there layout boats/marsh boats with blind doors and killer weed on them please post them. I am going to put my killer weed on my fat boy and am looking for the best way to attach it to give it the natural fluffy look. Thanks

The blind I used is homemade out of 1/2" steel conduit. Here is a before pic....

I attached the killerweed to the blind frame and anchor points with zip ties. Hope this helps.

Sounds good! I am always willing to camo a boat or blind!;)

Take a guess how many bags of KillerWeed that is.....


.....5:eek: And I still have some to add to the back end....

Thanks guys!

wow, thats nice. How does it hold on when towing down the highway?

[Michael Reed]

I made a custom cover out of a tarp. I use "Loop Bungees" that secure to hooks on the trailer and what you see in the photo is after one season of trailering!!!

It works awesome!

Here in the Midwest, we have alfalfa piles that are smaller than that! :D

Ever worry about spontaneous combustion, or an errant hay bailer trying to attack you!!! :eek:

Seriously, nice job. I have to grass my two, and have to consider all the variations of the seasons; early teal, when every thing is green, and then opener when we still could be green with some brown, then mid-to-late, when the frost has forced cover to brown up to almost a darker color still.

Here's my old rig. I attached the KW to nets. I had a total of 4 nets (one for the back/motor, one for each blind door, and one for the front). The nets detached quickly for trailering. KW camo jobs tend to get a thinned out at highway speeds.

What kind of boat is that Koon? Can you post up some other photos of it? I really like it!

[jamesmc]

I am pretty sure that one was his four rivers. He had one just like yours but got rid of it and bought the four rivers

[Michael Reed]

Awww, I see... I think I have mine sold but nothing final yet...

Thanks James.

Michael, It's a 4Rivers Layout. Is a nice handling boat. It can be squirrelly with the mud motor on the back, but is nice to pole. I miss the Carstens Canvasback. IMO the Canvasback is the best boat for a 7hp mudmotor and it makes a great layout blind for you and the dog. It handles beautifully.

How about posting up some pics of the MomarshDP w/ the GF dog blind?

Here are some pics of my boats naked. (the blind doors are removed from the 4Rivers rig)

Here are some pictures of my boat. I have darkened it up since the pictures but it still has the redish tint.
