stencils on the side is no more than eye candy for us. If your blind is grassed up good it will hang over the sides causing shadows. a plain duck poop green is fine. What everyone fails to think about is how it looks from above. Unless you have drivers screaming down the river 2 ft off the water or sea ducks. What is above the gunnels is more important.
What busts you the most is ripples caused by movement in the boat.

Still up in the air about wrap or paint. Wrap $750-$1000. Paint $500-$700 I'll post a pic after decision.

Wrap is going to be way less stressful when it gets scratched.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

I painted my duck boat about 11 years ago, been through brush and salt with no issues.  I think I washed it, lightly scuffed it, wiped with solvent and then sprayed.  I also used some stencils.  Turned out pretty well.  There is some wear on the high spots, but a lot of that is from rubbing during transport in the bed of the truck.

Do it yourself.I have painted 3 of my boats and yeah the paint will scratch and wear a little but not bad. I use mine year round for fishing and hunting so they get well used.  :dunno:  With paint it is just a matter of cleaning and lightly scuffing it then paint it. You don't need to pay for stencils either. Grab some branches or cat tails or reeds and spray over them in what ever pattern and colors you want. If it scratches grab some reeds a d a can and fix it in 5 minutes.  :dunno: All of the boats I have done have come in under $100 in paint and have been done in a day.

Black hoody;  ya wear one of those over here after thanksgiving, we'd probaly have to chip it off of your frozen body.  Well maybe as a base layer it'd work.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.
