RE: blind question
You are talking about 2 different beasts here. With the first one, you are going to practically lay down in your boat to hunt... almost treat your boat like a layout blind. The second one you would be sitting normally.
I think a lot of it comes down to the type of area you will be hunting in. If you are going to be hunting in an area with low cover than the first would be better... otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate to go with the other.
Personally, I like the type of blind where you can sit normally in the boat. You can always build a couple 6-8' hybrid boats and bring them with you if you're going to hunt low cover.
Good luck. Our season is over here. Everything is frozen and the birds are gone... Was a good season though.

RE: blind question
I would prefer the Avery blind as your 16 ft boat isn't designed to be a lay out boat. I would recommend the cabelas brand blind though. Same as the Avery but they are half price right now.

[align=left]Hunting From Floating Blinds, Boats & Scull Boats[/align][align=left]It is unlawful to hunt from a floating blind that is not anchored EXCEPT a scull boat may be used on certain public waters and waterfowl may be taken from a boat not mechanically powered and not camouflaged or disguised. A boat merely painted camouflage is not considered camouflaged.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left][/align][align=left]Not anchored.... that means you can't motor up into a raft of ducks and draw down on them. Thats pretty much the law through all of North America. Basically it means you can float down a river in a canoe and jump shoot to your hearts delight... but you cannot run the motor, cut it off and coast in.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]You could duck hunt off a carnival cruise ship just so long as you are at anchor.[/align]

RE: blind question
In NC you dont even have to be anchored in a motor boat. The motor must be off and if equiped with tilt and trim it must be trimmed up out of the water and all forward motion of last motorized propulsion stopped.
Means you can actually paddle or push pole a motor boat and float up on ducks.
