Wow! Are those all grass mats?

Pretty impressive, looks like you spent plenty of time on it

I have a conduit from with some plastic netting and fast grass attached. I can have grass attached in about 30 minutes. I covered the plastic netting with grass matts, but always have to pull a bunch of local vegetation to finish it off once in place. I seldom use it because my boat is so narrow there isn't a lot of room with it installed.

Only a 20 horse. It does the job but when there is rollers on the water, a little more speed would be nice.

I had a 16' lund with a SkyBuster blind just like DiverLines. I couple years ago I got a 1636 Phowler Sneak Boat with a layout blind on it and will never go back to a wall blind like that. I always found it difficult to mimic surrounding grass colors without having to reapply fresh vegetation weekly. I believe the low profile of the sneak boat is something birds aren't really used to...yet. I had great luck this past season sitting in hardstem bulrush. I typically never sat there with my big boat because you stuck out so much. SkyBusters are awesome to hunt out of with a group of guys for sure, but I'm mostly out by myself. I'll see if I can find some pictures.
