Re: Boat Names

However, I don't know what paint to use to stand up to the water both salt and fresh. Anyone have help for me? What do you use?

I ordered vinyl letters from Iboats to name my boat Gale Force and they've held up perfectly now for 4 years. Took 10 minutes a side to stick them down. They had some killer variations so it took longer to decide what i wanted than it took to stick them down.

I have a small phrase on the back corner of the transom on my 14' Grizzly Tracker, "If it smells like fish,make it a dish" and the boat is named "Sunken Pleasure"

Re: Boat Names

My wife suggested I name the boat "Bob's Garage" as I had spent the money I was saving for a new garage to replace our 100 yr old one, on the new boat. She was p/o'd because I didn't tell her about the purchase until it was in the driveway. 2 yrs of "ice age"!!

2 years ??? w/o sex??? .....thats' one cold hearted woman ,......thats' grounds for divorce in some states, but you should've changed the name of the boat to 'Knot Gettin Any' . theres' plenty of sexy young simpathetic singles out there in bikinis .

Re: Boat Names

My old boat is named "Warp None", I can't decide what to call the new one, runner up is either "Warp Some" or "Snuggle Bug" the sarg's nick name.

"Keepin It Reel" is what it is getting changed to. Right now it is Amber II which the house commandant is not going to let stand since that isn't her name.

Re: Boat Names

My mother-in-law named her boat "Her Diamond", because she got it instead of a new diamond she was wanting. I recently saw a boat named "Keeping Her Wet" near Lake Shelbyville in Illinois. My boat is named "Gone A.W.O.L." I bought it right after I got out of the army.

Re: Boat Names

My wife and I operate a business out of our house and have two employees which show up a 7:30 am, for the first week after I brought home my new old boat {1976 Enterprise Front Runner} when they needed instructions for the day they would meet me at the boat {kept on the same property} and at the end of the day they would say goodbuy to me at the boat. Same the second week. They also noticed all the new goodies going on the boat. One day one of the guys said " She sure looks good with all that new jewlery ". It came to me then, and My Mistress was born. She takes all my spare time all my spare money, and the better I take care of her the better she takes care of me

I had a member of my family who named his "Soldier Of Fortune" complete with logo. Funny, it never got broken into or vandalized and the people at the gas dock were always so friendly...
