Boat Tinted Window

Looks really good.

Do you go to Thunderbird or Draper?

Thanks. We do not. So far, we have just been going to Arcadia. Lawtonka and Skiatook are on our near-future list.

I see everyone is using dark tint, is there anyone out there that used say 35% or lighter? 50% i like the idea of the tint but the 5% is to dark for me.

 

[jawsf16]

20% is what I used. Love it, any lighter and I feel you would hardly see it.

I've tinted every on of my boats and would highly recommend it!

My tint guy nailed it with his advise on percentage for an open cockpit boat.
Go darker than you would with a car because the light is coming in from both sides.
I use 35 on my cars. Used 20 on the boat and it seems the same. I wouldn't have been satisfied with 35 on the boat.

For looks sure I can see having a dark tint, but can you see through it? I have 5% on the back of one of my cars and I can't see crap, hate it. I just want to tone it down a bit on the inside, the middle picture is more like what I want to do. I've seen my boat with dark tint and it looks funny. The dark windows kill the beautiful blue of the boat.

Mine is 15%, I tried to find some good pics for perspective....

 

[dcnorman07]

Here is a pic from tonight with my 5%. I have no problem seeing out. I don't do any night boating, so I don't anticipate there being any issues with it.

Chief where do you go sir?

That sure does darken down the interior, seems to work well. It's nice to see some inside shots.

I think for my application it is still too dark, I will be driving at night as well. Sucks, maybe a tint guy can just toss a roll over the windshield so I can see what it look likes.

I have 20%. We boat all times of day and night. Of course we go slow at night, and never in rain or fog. I keep a pair of clear safety glasses in my glovebox, and sit on the bolster so I can see over my windshield at night. Glasses keep the bugs out of my eyes. Just a tip. I would NOT go lighter than 20%.

Chief where do you go sir?

Typically to Lake Thunderbird. Otherwise

gotcha, I need to go down there. The only problem is amount of time. I can be on Skiatook in just a little more time.

Roger that. Let me know if you decide to go to thunderbird sometime.

 

[djetok]

Likewise on skiatook. We typically have at least 2 yammiez there. It's very
Comparable to Tenkiller as far as clarity and landscape.

My project this winter was to pull the windshield, disassemble it, powdercoated The metal frame in
Matte black then i had the glass tinted. I wanted a very slight tint just to give it a nice look and take the glare off. I still need to see through the glass. I went with 50%
