Marine Protection Film for Sportfish Boats

Sportfishing is hard on a boat. Every season the same problems: scratched transoms, blood stained hullsides, dock rash on the rocket launchers. The boats that hold their value are the ones protected before the damage starts.

What Sport Fishermen Are Up Against

Salt water exposure 100+ days a year.
Fish blood, hook scratches, gaff strikes.
Tournament day wear: fast loads, fast unloads, gear flying.

Shield is 8 mil for general marine use.
Shield Pro is 14 mil, nearly double the thickness, engineered for sportfish wear.
