Camo clad or similar product

[No_Net]

I'm in the middle of remodeling my fishing boat into a fishing/duck boat. I'm thinking of putting a wrap on it and just wondering if anybody has used a camo wrap before and what there thoughts were on. Likes and dislikes. THank you

I had thought of this for my boat but I also went with the thought that the extra money it would cost to thaqt would be better spent for the blind itself as the boat is in the weeds or cover and the blind mostly covers the boat up anyways. I instead made all my own templates and painted my boat in a cattail camo pattern.

I do however think that the camo clad your talking of would look geat on a boat.

What Gordie said +1.

Spend the money on Fast grass and/or the blind.

A boat blind has to be covered well side and TOP or you will get busted by birds. They will do the slow slide off to the side if it's not covered up well. Keep the blind small 8 ft long and 3.2 ft tall max.If you don't the numbers of birds getting close will go down.

Google "steps for painting a shotgun" and you will find instructions that could be applied to a boat as well. I agree with the other two posts- a good blind is a much better investment.

My first boat was a dead grass camo Lund WS16. I put a Beavertail blind on it and that made all teh difference in the world. My new boat is a 1800 Alaskan in wetland camo with the same style Beavertail blind. The only difference is I think the camo on camo looks cool. The ducks don't seem to know the difference. When they do...it's too late!

I have been thinking about trying something like this on my wingmaster for duck and turkey hunting. They advertise no residue - is this true?

A tan/green boat may help if coverage is minimal but a blind thats short and not very long will help you out better. you want to think that if they cant see you move your on the winning side of the game. I have had two custom blinds built by the smae guy and have loved every moment in them blinds...

I already know that ducks hardly see the outside of a boat. It's whats inside they see. I'm no rookie to decoying birds while hunting out of a boat. IF any of you hunted with me you would probably think the same as my buddies. Which think im the pickest person on make everything look natural. Realism kills.

The whole reason I asked about a camo wrap was because, I want my boat to look sweet and be somthing I'll be happy with in the end. I don't want to put all the work into it and just paint the outside marsh grass or similar color and call it good enough. Thats what my current duck boat is like and isn't big enough to safly hull 5-7 dozen goose floater and 2-4 dozen ducks and 2 guys.

I already had plans to redo my old blind so it would fit on the boat I'm redoing.

P.S. I was simply asking about a certain product not a blind or how to hide from birds.

Then I say go for it nothing wrong with looking cool that's was the biggest reason I painted my boat and took the time to make all the stencils of cattails and hand paint slot of it.

Nothing wrong of being proud of what you got.

I don't have any experience with the product your talking of but I am thinking of doing my 4 wheeler with it so keep us posted with your results and any tips you may have while you install it.

Good Luck

Any wrap is best done on a welded boat. Rivets are a major hassle to wrap!
