Does anyone have experience having one of these on their boats? I think I'm going to build one at some point later this summer. The thing I'm concerned with is how it will handle/affect the rest of the boat on windy days. It will be similar to the one on the bottom:
https://www.sw-marine.com/boat-blinds.htmlI'm planning on doing it from either 3/4 or 1' aluminum square tubing and most likely reusing some aluminum roof panels for the sides. For perspective, i have a 1442 alweld flat bottom with a 23 hp go devil. Boat won't go super fast.
Materials will probably end up costing $4-500 or so bucks after I paint it. Possibly less if I use the old roof metal panels I have. I'm going to add a door on the bow that swings off to the side for visibility.
I will cover the outside with some type of wire mesh so I can attach grass mats or cane. Hopefully I'll able to make it removable just in case it doesn't do well on windier days. Whole thing should be relatively light with all of the aluminum.
