I'm going to start on a Jon Boat project and can't decide on a color to paint the outside. I will most likely do the carpet in a gray or other light color. The boat will be used for fishing only and will probably be used in shallow water most of the time. I was just wanting to get every one's opinion on a color that won't heat up too bad and will stay pretty stealthy.

I've read articles about the best colors for clothing.  Most suggest drab colors that blend into the surroundings.  Bright colors seem to be a no no, particularly in stealth situations.

That being said, most pros wear clothes that look like Walt Disney, or one of his imagineers threw up on them.

They also fish out of boats that sparkle. flash and glitter.

Then again, they are trying to attract attention to their sponsors as much as trying to catch fish.  But for the top money winners, without sponsors, most could not even subsist on their earnings, let alone finance the operation.

Looking good, and image are vital to them.  Not important to the fish we're all trying to catch.  

Bait selection and presentation are what matters.

Any color as long as it's red

I thought the only paint that would stick on a Jon boat was RealTree Camo ;D
