I gotta agree. Trailer queens really don't need to be painted. In fact, the only reason to paint a trailered boat is for looks. Personally I like the clean look of an unpainted boat.....but that's just me.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
