Only if the boat is wooden. Otherwise, I'd stick with a more dull color.

I think red is a great boat color. We've always wanted a red canoe and I've seen America's Cup boats that were red and looked great. Many speed boat are red, we had a Miller Vee that was red inside and out. Any size, great color! Though I do love deep blue for a sailboat.

It is generally agreed that it is Bad Luck to paint a boat in the colors of the sea. Thus blue, aqua, and various shades of blue/green are to be avoided. As far as I can tell, red is about as far away from the colors of the sea as you can get. Bon Chance and Bon Voyage.

Why not? Red is as good as any, though a couple of thoughts come to mind. If you are in a hot part of the world, darker colours will capture more heat from the sun and make it hotter inside the hull. Hence you see a lot of White :-)

White or a light colour that does not absorb heat and can easily be seen in case of a search and rescue operation. [Edit] Oh, I see my answer to "What is a good clour to paint a boat?" has been re-assigned. OK. Red paints usually fade to pink. So be careful.

ANYTHING that--because of its contrast with the water & sky--make your boat visible is a good thing. Beware, though: blue/UV light more readilly, so count on having to renew the paint more often.
