Trying to figure out the best flag to fly from my boat. the US Ensign, of course, and the Big Dipper and North Star; but what other, banner?

I have considered the Gadsden flag - too common and obviously identified with certain groups. I want to be low key but emphatic and maybe provoke someone to ask questions.

The Bonnie Blue flags makes the right statement - but, on a boat, it looks too much like a Navy Commodore’s flag.

The Confederate battle flag or navy jack? - too belligerent and identified with racism (No matter what Southrons say) and not very appropriate at latitude 52N.

Considering the Stars and Bars (First flag of the Confederacy)- a stronger statement than the Bonnie Blue flag, but again, perhaps I am too far North.

Possibly the Green Mountain boys flag (I am originally from Vermont) But no. No one would recognize it here in the Northwest.

Come and Take It?
Culpepper?
Pine Tree?

I noticed a 48 star US Ensign on on a boat up here. Very subtle. Perhaps too much so.

I am open to suggestions.

You’ve got the rattlesnake Naval Jack to consider. Fly it! Let the world know you will fight. If that’s too much for you, you can always fly the rainbow flag.
