Beavertail Boat Blind 1600 Series Overview

[@JM-jq7ft]

thank you for your contribution to being a universal bro. there’s literally no videos about this and i got one fro christmas so in my excitement i found your video. Thank you!!!

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

I’m glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@beaubrown101]

Excellent video, your reason I went out and bought a Tracker 1654 Sportsmen & Beavertail Blind!

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

That’s awesome!!! I appreciate your support and I hope the combo works out for ya!

[@isaachawkins3293]

What size blind did you go with for the 1654?

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

I’m not sure what he bought but I believe the 1700 will fit that size boat

[@pmdkowen]

Great vid, and all the info I needed in the comments. Thanks everyone ☺️

[@meetoo50]

Great vid! One question, will the blind and motor "collide" if you leave the motor up. I occasionally hunt very shallow areas that the motor has to stay up.

[@BuckcreekTV]

Glad to see you are getting it ready.

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

Ya man I think it’s going to be perfect! Awesome boat and nice blind!

[@BuckcreekTV]

@@fwlmoodadventures4658 Yes it is, I'm sure you'll get a few mallards in it.

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

I hope so! When I do I’ll let you know bud! Probably put a pic up on our Instagram or Facebook so you can see!

[@BuckcreekTV]

@@fwlmoodadventures4658 Sounds good I am looking forward to it.

[@KevinsNorthernExposure]

Thanks for the vid. I have the 1654 Grizzly so I bought the 1700 beavertail...have not put it on yet...was concerned with that bracket interfering with the tiler handle. Hope it doesn't. In my boat, the front hatch and seat base are switched compared to yours, so I'm going to guess, I cannot use the front seat position....will have to use boat cushion or sit on a cooler. I bought JSterns grass for camo brushing...good pricing. btw...the flip top is around $349 now...not really worth the cost IMO. Thanks again.

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

How does the blind fit? Did it work out for you?

[@KevinsNorthernExposure]

@@fwlmoodadventures4658 It fit, but the tiller handle was in the way of the bracket making it impossible to tilt the motor up....I solved that by installing a 4" micro Jack plate. pushed the motor back 4" which gives me clearance. The lack of dog door is an issue. I had already grassed it, so bringing it to a canvas shop to put in a dog door is not an option now. Poor dog cannot see a thing. All in all it's functional....

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

@@KevinsNorthernExposure I agree, beavertail should look into a better option for the dog

Crew Chief engineering at it finest...well done!

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

Thank you sir!

[@blakeboney3000]

Hell yeah brother!!!! Keep them vids coming!

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

More to come!

[@jakeriffe4055]

Can it fit 2-3 guys comfortably? What all sizes does it come in can it fit almost all boats? Looks super nice got me wanting one!

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

It shoots 3 hunters easy! They have them up to a 22ft boat I believe! The are built to fit on a beaver tail boat but work well with the grizzly tracker! If you want to check out beaver tail.com they have all the sizes listed I believe.

[@jimmymesler2134]

Great vid. Looks great! I make my own boat blinds but this one you have looks great. Liked n SCRIBED

[@Laughinghawg]

Just a thought, I'd unbolt/remove the trolling motor during duck season. As much brush and limbs and crap as we go through, we'd have that thing yanked off by some mean ass branch look'n for revenge. It will give you more deck space, better for a dog, boat bags, etc. I'm assuming you aren't using it during duck season and it looks like it would allow you extend the blind out even further.

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

That’s a good idea. We ended up using it last season a bit. But it definitely was a bit bulky up front.

[@Laughinghawg]

@@fwlmoodadventures4658 Just curious, did you get the arched bevi top you mentioned at the 4:35 mark? I'd love to see a vid on it if you got it. Trying understand how it's attached, how it stores, how it rides when traveling, how much more bulk, etc etc Also, did you put any grass or something else to give it some depth? You mentioned you are tall, how tall? after all these questions, I'm realizing I need to see one in person.

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

@@Laughinghawg I haven’t bought it yet. I will definitely do a video when I do! I’m 6’4” ish. I fit pretty good.

[@Laughinghawg]

@@fwlmoodadventures4658 Yeah, I'm 5'10"ish or was before I got old. That means I'd be do'n the prairie dog pop up to see over the edge :-)

[@KevinsNorthernExposure]

I leave it on for one reason....it's the only way to get home if the big motor goes down. Boats nowadays have no oars...many a day as a youth I ended up rowing back home or somewhere close. The trolling motor could be a lifesaver. Leave it on and brush it up.

[@braydonnichols2093]

Great video thanks for sharing! I live in Tacoma, maybe I'll see you in the marsh sometime! 🤙🏻

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

Ya that would be awesome!!! If you ever see us make sure to come over and say hi!

Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to watch it!

Great video. You looking for a hunting partner on JBLM? Mine just PCS'ed this season.

We can probably work something out! Message me on our Facebook.

[@AmericaProud]

So after 2 seasons, what are your thoughts? Someone raised a concern as I'm shopping for mine. The potential for the grass to get wet with water and snow and then put all that weight on one side of the boat is real. What are your experiences?

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

I haven’t had any issues with that but I dry mine out. Also my boat is filled with foam so that might be what helps me out.

[@joshskrdla6196]

Are there spots for dog entry on the sides?

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

There are attachments you can buy. The problem is you have to cut a hole and then stitch the attachments over the hole like a dog door

[@RedShirt230]

Do you think this would fit a side console?

[@fwlmoodadventures4658]

I’m not sure because of the bar inside the blind.

[@coleprater2002]

Do think it would clear a tracker grizzly center console?
