Boat names.

Re: Boat names.

pj, TKS VERY much, you sparked the idea,

No, I haven't found a replacement for "Leaky" yet. I've been looking hard for 6 months.

I think when I do, I will name her "Eureka"

Greek for "I found it!" The word/phrase reportedly exclaimed by Archimedes the instant he discovered his principle of buoyancy. A law we ALL live by.

I like it. The wife likes it. The kids aren't paying for it.

It's a done deal.

Re: Boat names.

My first boat, 83 WebbCraft, was yellow, orange, and red - the same colors of McDonalds. My college nick name was "Quarter Pounder" as I was short and stocky (no changes there). So, "Quarter Pounder" stuck to the boat as well. I felt at 18' it was not big enough to call the Big Mac.

I got a real steal of a deal on my second boat, a 94 Caravelle Legend. One of the things the previous owner said during the deal was "No strings attached." That was easy..."No Strings Attached"

My favorite names are the ones with multiple meanings...ones that may rais an eyebrow!

Re: Boat names.

When I am working on mine and things don't go well the MFG Caprice is "Lousy piece of *$&^#@&!!"

The Starcraft Jupiter is Obstinate "*&*@$%!!"

The best names I ever saw on boats was Master Baiter II and the Friendly Hooker. They were both fishing boats.

Re: Boat names.

Krosemond - I had a thought about your 'Triple K', etc - how about '3 Kilos' [If K=Kilo in US?] ;-)

Sounds great! but expect to be borded for inspections often! Kilo down in these parts might ne mistaken for 3 square groopers

Re: pcrussell50

Why buy new???. just take prop to a "prop shop' and have them, change the "pitch" of prop. It is cheaper,and these guys know what they are doing! I am running a 26 degree laser II prop and am happy with it.

Re: Boat names.

"Wet Dreams" was my first one. Someone named it before I got it and the one I have now is " 4-Play " because we love to play in it.....

Re: Boat names.

I am barely 1/2 way into my restoration, but last night, in joking around with my wife, I thought of the perfect name for my boat..

"The Last Word"

The real meaning for the name is a bit of an inside joke between my wife and I, but the word games you can play with the name are also amusing

Re: Boat names.

JB, 3 K's in the south has a very distinct implication. Maybe I should rename her "Special K", but I have always heard renaming a vessel is bad luck.

Hey, I LIKE that!

BTW, Avatar is Lady Lea.

Re: Boat names.

I have a 95 Mariah Z192 which is my first boat that I have named "Paid Fore" to give a little love to my first love, that was of course before I bought a boat

Re: Boat names.

I have had many boats over the years, and all kinds, but only named three. The 19 baja was named ( the fuse ) It was a fast wild boat. The 25 checkmate was called ( Localmotion ) I was always on the go, and went everywhere. I stayed on it every weekend and vacation. The 27 doral cruiser was called ( amenaties ) That has everything you need to stay out with.

Re: Boat names.

Hey, boat1010. We named our boat "4 Play" a year ago. BUT, I am thinking about changing it to "Aqua-Holic II"

I've seen Aqua-Holic, but NOT "Aqua-Holic II ".

Re: Boat names.

I do not have a spell check, and am not perfect like you. so why do you have to make a thing of spelling, some people do the best they can. 0ne finger typing takes a while.

Wow, easy now. Throttle back. I thought it a legitimate question when I saw it. There's so many reasons for the names we give the ladies in our lives that it looked like there might have been a good story there. And, we ALL like good stories. Did I ever tell you about the fish that was THIS big?
