It always amazes me when people paint things pink and think its a good idea. Whether it be a car, motorbike, or plane or boat..
In this case, for a very good reason, but more usually its to impress a girlfriend/wife/daughter, etc.
You might as well spend the morning flushing £50 notes down the toilet....
At my sailing club we had a pair of parents who spent not an inconsiderable amount of money professionally painting a sailing dinghy pink for their daughter, who then promptly gave up sailing. Not only did they lose all the money they spent painting the boat, but they also lost half the value of the boat. They more than halved their chances of selling it as not every girl wants a pink boat, and no young lad would be seen dead in it! Consequently it sat around the club and deteriorated, until it was eventually sold for half the original purchase price and the buyers had factored in a complete repaint! Seemed like a good idea at the time though
