I would like to have the option to hunt public marsh as well as the lake. I won't necessarily be hunting really open water on the lake, but tucked up against the rocks (would have really been fun to get drawn east Sandusky bay with this). Thinking maybe screwing in snaps around the cockpit and fitting some camo canvas would work for blind doors, ,magnets or Velcro to keep em shut. As far as cover, am hoping some mud, camo burlap and any surrounding brush would be the ticket, but do I even need that if I'm just tucked up against the rocks on the Lake Erie shoreline?

To be honest I haven't hunted the bay (plan to this year). I would go ahead and figure out some way to attach brush to it, if you use brush loops such as on a layout blind you can change pretty quickly wither you are hunting metgers magee or the bay.
I would think willows would be the ticket on the bay along the shoreline. There are a lot of brush hanging over I would think your boat would disappear in. The more you add to it (meaning accessories the more places you can hunt).
I would honestly check into bending condoit or aluminium to make my blind doors. Most places I would think you could benefit from it. I would also try to use a waterproof canvas or some other material as it is heavy duty.
Magnets are a great way to secure a cover if you fashion one up. The best part is you can make different colors, brown, grey, white and you can hunt any type of water till ice up.

2 Canvasback per day. Down side -- only 3 b-bills. Good Luck ! How many hours do you have invested in your boat, any idea of how much it weighs ?
