I got that Gheenoe I posted about and remembered that I purchased this blind about two years ago- used for cheep.
I tried to make it work on my Jon boat but it didn't and it was relegated to the back of the garage.
I pulled it out today and it fits my "new-to-me" Gheenoe.
My Boat with blind -

I have an extra piece of camo draped over it- I'm experimenting with a top.
Here are some photos from the Manufactures Web site.
It really goes up and down that easy!

I got one of those blinds myself. Jamey Rex over near Thomasville is the man in the pictures. He is a heck of a nice fellow and always good to deal with

Bman, that’ll work excellent. I’ve looked at those blinds and thought it would be a good one. Those Gheenoe’s are great platforms.

Bman I have the same thing, got an old Flyways Specialties blind used for cheap and I love it. Best $100 I ever spent.
Jamie is great to deal with as mentioned. I think you have a 5 GoDevil, and I was going to get the "adaptor bar" Jamie sells, but decided to try it "as is" and found that I have no problems with my GoDevil, even running it (slowly) with the blind set up to go pick up a duck. When running with blind folded up, I just flip it forward. The adaptor allows you to cut the stern "bar" and insert a hinging section of metal that snaps together like the side pieces do.
You will love it, especially if you have a dog due to the side opening design.

BlindHog,
It does work great and I can run the GD with it up - or I just undo the left back hook and it will fold to the floor. I'm going to use it as is this year and then decide if I want to put the Mud motor adapter on. I'm going to figure out a top. Zip tie on some camo and then clip it in the center.
Have you put any grass on it? Or the wind blocker?
Oh yea- Its getting wet Saturday!

No, I just bought a new piece of die cut fabric from Jamie in same pattern to extend skirt 30" downward. I think it looks great. I have some Walmart diecut fabric I can clip on ltop ike you said.
Mine was the oldest model and it needed more. I dont have wind block or any grass. Seems to work well-- on the dumber ducks, anyway.
