The city required him to build a 6-foot coverage screen in front of his boat. After discussing the plan with his neighbor, Constable decided to build the fence – with a lifelike painting of the boat on it.

Haha, that's clever! So instead of just a regular fence, he painted a lifelike image of his boat on it. That's a creative way to satisfy the city's requirement while still keeping his boat visible. I bet it looks pretty convincing from a distance!

At least he's being aspirational. No way the boat behind that fence is that clean.


I'm thinking john boat with an Evinrude 25.

I recall a thread in here years ago about the trashiness vel non of boats parked in a driveway in a subdivision. Folks were pretty evenly divided with strong opinions.

My neighbor parks one in his driveway. I think it looks like shite, but he probably thinks the same thing about something of mine.

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.

Right, because the view of a boat when you're outside really brings down the view of all your neighbor's houses that are 20 ft away.
