    To tint or not to tint? (botch Photochop inside)

    What do you guys think?
    Light tint?
    Dark tint
    no tint?

    I'm kinda liking the light tint myself...
    How about \"Chales\"?

      Why would he need to worry about wood and junk when his boat levitates 3-feet off the water?
      I like the dark tint too.

          If you can see well enough, go dark, then light, then none. I have none, but my eyesight sucks.

            I think any tint makes it look like a BU, or worse.... a Sea Ray! Just my $.02

              I tinted my 89 2001 with 20% tint and it works and looks awesome. I love it b/c I can drive w/o sunglasses even on the brightest of days. Maybe it's the type of tint that I have, but when I do wear glasses (polarized) it makes it a bit harder to see through it, but I say go for it.

                  How many times did you have to drop the boat before you got the picture right before it hit the water?
                  I vote light tint or none, i dont like anything reducing my visability, especially at dusk and later.

                    I vote no tint too. Living here in Oregon (and especially you with your boat at the coast for much of the year) where the sun can be a bit of an enigma - I would opt for a good pair of sunglasses instead.
                    Great comment, darrel409 - "how many times did you have to drop the boat..." Very funny.

                      Can I change my vote? I had voted for dark tint, purely
                      on aesthetics. The more I read comments from more sensible heads,
                      the more I think no tint, or light tint at the most.

                        Nope ..... can't change your vote! Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

                        I voted none, but strictly on looks. Now I see the wisdom of night vision as a dominate reason not to tint!

                          Thanks guys, after some dicussion on here and on wakeboarder.com I'm leaning towards no tint.

                          Sorry about the mysterious floating boat pic, it was the easiest one I had allready in 800x600 format.

                          Here's the original Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

                            I vote for the floating on air boat. It just seems cooler to me. :mrgreen:
