Anyone done a Kuiu wrap on anything? Did you need permission?

I assume their concern is their image. Lets say you take said boat out for a rip after having a dozen beers and hit another boat killing a family of 4 and their dog. You think it would be a good look for Kuiu to have they camo plastered all over the news?

Image is not the concern, if that was the case you would never be able to buy anything. What if someone bought a Donzi and went out and got drunk and blew through another boat on the lake at 80mph? Is that a good look for Donzi?

Companies that manufacture the product are less likely to take the blame in my opinion. This is the same for a vehicle or a boat.

For example, my company will never do company trucks for this reason. No one will remember its a Ford if someone gets in accident and kills someone. They will remember the company that was plastered on the side of it.

And with social media now a days, is there is no innocent until proven guilty anymore. There is just a image of a smashed up company truck and a dead person. Doesn't matter who was at fault, even if it was the other driver, still a bad look for a company.

I’ve been told that UPS won’t resell any of their trucks for a similar reason, and also because they have a patent on the configuration of the truck themselves.

When a truck reaches it EOL, they salvage whatever they can, then send it to the crusher.
