Rename my Boat

[choochooharley]

Ok I know its bad luck to not have a name on your boat. I am sure it has been covered on here before but I recently purchased a boat and it has the name Jamboree II. I am less than impressed with the name. I would like to rename it. Is it bad luck or juju to change the name and is there some kind of process where i can stave off the bad juju..

Here we go. This always becomes a fun thread.

I wasn't aware of it being bad luck to not have a name on a boat, and even so, it would be more bad luck not to go through the proper name changing ceremony. You can read the proper steps to appease the gods when changing a boat's name here.

Now many will say it's not necessary to do the ceremony, but I say it's a good reason to have a party. There is a small part of me that buys into the 'bad luck if not done properly' category.

Holy Crap! All I did was scrape the old name off, stick the new name on, and get hammered with the Old Lady!! Is that close enough?

I'm LMAO, don't let a Black Cat run in front of you, or walk under a ladder and never ever break a mirror.

Take the Damn name off and enjoy the new one.

Your luck will be best if you name the boat after your wife or girlfriend.


The George and Richard will still get strange looks on the water.

Sadly, my friend, you're living on borrowed time. Don't remove your PFD...

Could be worse. My buddies dad's boat was named Penas when he got it. I always ask him how to pronounce it just for fun.

Your luck may not be that great if you name your boat after your girlfriend instead of your wife.
