Blood and mud are tough to get off, but it sure feels damn good. We have the dark grey which was factory from GatorTail and it looks great.

I have the dark grey from GT. I put down the deck flooring from Sears at 1/3 price on my old duck boat. Held up great too.

I had the grooved snow camo. As previously stated it can blend in fish guts or slime. That shite really didn't stain. I have it on my mud boat and had blood, marsh mud and grease dumped on it. Sprayed it with my pressure washer on lowest setting and the hydroturf looked brand new. Go to the hydro turf site and request samples of the colors you are interested in. I would say away from the flat. It may get slippery when wet.

I had the grey on my gunwales. Was there to protect the rod and reels. Like someone said, it stained the same as the deck. But I could get the deck stains out with hull cleaner. Could never get it out of the turf.

I like the light grey or tan. Not too dark to get hot, not too light for glare and staining.

I think snow camo would look pretty sick. I have duck grass camp in mine and it only comes in groove cut. Some of the options, you can only get certain ways.

If you do it yourself, get the 3m backing. It sticks like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snow storm.

Also if you need help with the install let me know. I got mine from camo road. Nice guy.

Is that a 90 2 stroke on your boat? About how fast does that boat cruise and how skinny does it get? I remember being passed in lake Decade by one and it took the open water much better than my Ranger. I liked how shallow my boat could get though.

Its a 90. Rated for 150. It's no speed demon at all. Cruise of 32 @ 4500. 38 max. I need 8-9 inches to float I believe. The selling point for me is the ride. No more dreading crossing open water.

I know those rangers get a lot skinner, but you can't have everything. In my situation, ride was more important to me than super shallow.

I'd go with the white. Matches the boat and won't be nearly as hot on bare feets out there in the summer sunshine.

Here you go polar:


Have it on my bowfishing rig, all flat surfaces. Comfortable, non slip, easy to clean, and doesn't get hot

I wouldn't have traded my boat for what I did. A lot of duck pond fishing with very little open water. But I'm going bigger and faster on the next boat. I had a 60 on mine and cruised at 25 maxed out at 32ish. Was hell crossing a lake on a windy day.

Getting a deeper V flats boat or a shallow water bay boat next. I really like the Haynie or a Majek. I'd like to hydroturf everything and have the ability to strap my rods down on the front deck like on a bass boat. Don't know how well that would work for salt water, but I really like how organized bass boats are.

Know from experience the Majek sucks for dry storage. Good shallow water ability for a 22 footer.
Also give the Blazer Bay 675 Ultimate a look.
