re: Man gets boat painted on fence that city made him put up to hide it

The point I think being made is, is it really that painful to see a boat?

Not really the boat, more the implication of not being able to afford boat storage.

A boat is an eyesore to many people. Obviously down here in sportsman’s paradise many don’t share the same opinion. But for most, it just looks bad.

If you must have a boat, find a place to store it. If you can’t afford boat storage, you likely can’t afford the boat.

A seldom used boat out in the open screams “I was impulsive and bought a boat, but I actually don’t have the time nor the money to properly use or store this boat”

Additionally, eyesores such as that drive home values down. If I drive into a subdivision and see boats and rvs out in the open, I’m going to think very hard about the people who might be my neighbors.
