Thinking of having my trawler painted like this

[Woodsong]

It would make finding her at a marina or anchorage very easy I think.....

Good idea,* Your kids would have fun helping you paint her over.

My guess is that a boat like this could be a lightning rod for attracting aggressive Coasties looking to board in search of "contraband".

Any weed aboard, Captain?? hmm.

 

[Doc]

That is cool. If I ever sell my boat I am going to get one that I can paint with a broom and hose out the inside.

 

[Tom.B]

That's AWESOME!

This is the owner.

Like the old Beatles song, "got to be good looking, cause he's so hard to see".

Um,
I think that person could use a refreshing, relaxing, and calming day on the water. He looks a little heavily burdened to me in more ways than one.

 

[markpierce]

OK.* Looking forward to seeing your boats with similar paint schemes.

 

[Woodsong]

it would certainly make her look distinctive!

that tug was used in a movie, dont remember what one. I saw it on the hudson a few years ago. the tug has sense been painted back to more tradtional colors. I belive it was a ex army tug..

 

[FlyWright]

Woody, you'd be easy to spot on the river! But I like the color you chose.

 

[Delfin]

I suggest that vessel be mounted with a 20mm recoilless cannon and sent to Somalia.* The pirates would be so slack jawed they would drift within range.

Tony, I heard that Alreds Marina in Guntersville hired their painter from an RV manufacturer.* He had been putting stripes and designs on them* It should be interesting when you get your boat back.

Same idea but a lot more expensive.

 

[markpierce]

That's nothing new.
