Hoisting up a flag on your houseboat is a great way to spread a little patriotism or have a little fun. CoolWaterProducts.com has some lightweight options that come in at a decent price point to boot. You can find a Valley Forge nylon American flag currently on sale for $24.99, or get a little goofy with a polyester Pirate Flag priced at $6.99. If you’re a big sports fan, you can even look up your favorite team’s colors at places like www.sportsflagsandpennants.com. Regardless of what you pick, it's time to hoist the sails!
