While on business in south Florida, my son and I were on the hunt for another boat. I took a boatload of cash with the attitude to bring home a bargain. After checking out a dozen or so prospects, my son insisted we check out this boat that was listed at a ridiculously low price (1/3 of book). I expected a scam or a wreck. Were we surprised. . . Long story short, we bought it and found a POS trailor to get her the 1400+ miles to home. Sure enough, the trailer started coming apart before we got out of Florida. We got lucky in catching the issue before the boat hit asphalt. Found a welding / fab shop just 2 miles from the Interstate and engineered some repair braces. So we felt we were "Dam Lucky" we found her and "Dam Lucky" we got her home.
Great boat names? How about "Wife" because it takes all my spare cash and I only get to use her on the weekends...when the weather's just right, there's no chores that need done, and it's not down for monthly maintenance!

A few years back I read a Post/Article about changing a boats' name. Involved a ceremony/rite to ensure good sailing Anyone know of this procedure ? I'm buying a "new to me" used vessel and wanted to revisit this subject.

My first boat was Stugots, I watched the Sopranos quite a bit back then
My second boat is Empty Pockets because it cost me something every time I take it out
