Paint can be used to make nice looking effects. My wife used stencils to do a vine w/ flowers as a border at the top of the walls in our hallway. You could use stencils and watercolors (good craft stores will show you how) to do a border along the waterline, or as a stripe along the deck. You could also decopauge wallpaper (after cutting out the pattern) directly to the hull. There are some elegant border patterns available.

Here is a sample of what can be done with just paint.
