rats... I do not have the full version (paid VS free) to decode a MP4 video....
But I did look at the photos. My concern for hunting sloughs would be the hull design. Yes the pontoons are wide so less draft, but they are flat so you will ride up on top of cattails VS parting them with the V point.
Also the rail height would need to be added on too to add a blind so it'd be high enough. And over all your height will be greater (you will stick out more) compared to a boat where the floor is 12-18" lower
Lastly, unless it came factory painted, one is SOL. Why, because almost all bare(non painted) aluminum on boats are coated with a plastic type of coating to keep the aluminum from oxidizing. And so when painted, because of the coating, the paint does not like to stick (flakes off).
And considering how cheap traditional pontoon boat go for on CL and other places, if one wanted a big floating hunting blind I think you'd be better off cost wise to buy an old used one and modify it.

God, help me be the man that my dog thinks that I am.
