I really need to put a blind on my boat but I'm not sure which direction I should go. The prefab ones are around $600-700 but I have heard they aren't built great. If I had a good set of plans I would be willing to do it myself or if someone custom builds them I may be willing to pay to get it done. Anyone know anyone who does them or can suggest where I can find some plans? My only real requirement would be that it is removable so I could take it off during the off season. Thanks.

Conduit, bimini top fittings. Very easy to make for cheap.

There's plenty of plans on the internet. I made one out if EMT conduit, hose clamps, and c-clamps years ago. I tie wrapped fast grass to it and it worked very well. It was on a 1644 GD boat that I no longer have. It's probably too narrow for your boat or I'd give it to you.

Former Avery blind owner checking in but I would not own again. Much easier to pre-fab one. In fact, about to start on one in the next few weeks on my buddies new duck boat.
