I need opinions! (No shortage of that here)
I have an urge that's been simmering in my brain for a few years now, and since my next boat purchase will be the smallest boat I've ever owned, it would be the best candidate for my idea.
I want a pirate ship.
Yes, I've been watching wayyy too much Captain Jack lately, but that's beside the point!
Imagine a 22-24 foot fiberglass sailboat painted either brown like wood or black hull with a red stripe. Faux cannon ports painted in the side, wood railings, and a skeleton on the bow.
A miniature Queen Anne's Revenge.
We'll call her The Bloody Guppy.
My question for all of you is how well will this go over with the public?
Obviously, I am not a real pirate and anyone with a brain can see that it's just a nifty decorated boat.
Will it get me free drinks and cheers everywhere I visit, or will local harbor patrols pull me over left and right just to check me out?
The general consensus on this forum should accurately represent public response
2 things to consider:
A) I sail in California where weirdness is more accepted than other places.
B) It will look good and pro and not fall apart while sailing.
So, yay or nay?
