Abstract
We have estimated the optical depth of stellar wind of 3 FUORs (V1057 Cyg, FU Ori, Z CMa) in Balmer and Paschen continuum and conclude that it seems plausible that it exceeds unity. If so it is not possible in principle to observe optical and UV radiation from the innermost and the hottest regions of these objects, i.e. boundary layer of the accretion disk.
