I'm on the coast of Northwest Florida. Brought my new tracker 1436 home yesterday and chained it up on my lot in the sun. Now, if someone steals it, they would probably throw it in the back of a pick-up truck and be gone. So I painted the bow and 1/4 of the stern with bright orange paint, thinking the marine patrol or cops could spot it a mile away. Well, I nearly blistered my hand when I touched the bottom of the boat. Just for fun, I rolled it over, waited 10 minutes, then checked the temp on the seats. 145 on the center seat and 160 front and rear. I covered the center seat with a white towel and read 100 degrees after 5 minutes. I'm launching from the back of my truck so weight is a no no. Is there a coating I could apply to the inside to reduce the heat without blinding myself? Otherwise, I'll have three white towels to add to my gear. Thanks for any ideas y'all might have.
