For those with tinted window Bu's

Just throwing it out there for more discussion! I'm trying to decide how dark to go on the tint so just looking for some feedback! TIA!

Ask Bosshog. His tint is the best I have seen. not to dark not to light.

[WhoaNellie]

I went with 20%. It doesn't look as dark as it does on a car because you have ambient light on both sides of the glass in a boat.

mine came with 5% (pretty sure) I like it for the looks.

[Calexan]

I went with 20% the first time and went with 5% this time. Im doing it cause i want the windshield to be black so the darker the better. I thought 20% would be dark, but it just wasnt dark enough for my taste. For looks I think 5% is the most aggressive look you can add.

The most aggressive without actually spray painting your windows black

The boat looks WAY better with the tinted glass. I went with the limo on the sides, and one shade lighter for the front glass.

Any of you guys wish you didn't due to night vision problems?

That is a really good idea. I might do that myself.

yes, I took mine off because of that.

Nope, very rarely am I boating in the dark. Tint or no tint, its too hard to spot hazards and react in time.

After reading this I think I am going to go with the 20% on my new wakesetter. I did 35% Carbon on my old boat and it looked and performed great we will see how the 20 works out at night.

I've got 5% all the way around and have not had a single vision issue with it yet. I've really come to appreciate it in the evenings / sunset during the westbound drive back to the dock!

Because the interior of the boat glass is not shaded like it is with a hardtop vehicle, 20 percent light transmittance on a boat appears like 35 percent on a car. So you have to go darker if you want the same contrasting appearance as you are used to on a car.

We try and avoid installing film less than 20 percent for safety reasons. If you have verticle glass with lights behind you reflecting off the interior of the windshield then you are pretty much running blind with 5 percent limo.

Bought my boat with the tint on it. I really liked the look of it but just was not practicle on cloudy days or when it started to get dark out. Night driving through the Marina - not fun.

Removed it last week.

I think if i ever have a problem with vision, I'll just pretend im driving and I/O and stand up.....

I like the tint look and would take this approach also. My seat is raised 3" (and I am 6-2) so I pretty much don't look through the windshield much unless it's raining and I slouch down.
