I've never been real into decoration on boats, thinking that the boats themselves are decoration enough.
Of course there is a long history of decoration in the form of figureheads and suchlike but on modern boats they seldom look very good at best and truly garish at worst. There is an old bit of advice about the wearing of hats... " Never wear a hat with more character than you have..." Pretty much says it all!
Case in point... A Jongert anchored behind us the other day with a truly lovely Mermaid figurehead but as much as I liked the figurehead, it just did not mesh with the overall look of the boat. Esthetics can be problematic! Maybe a different hull color would make all the difference...
