So, got the boat last year. Got the engines working, electrical working good. going to be finishing up some cosmetic stuff this winter. still working slooowly on getting the kids and wife into boating. They love it in the slip. At sea, not so good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) and this was in 1-3ft seas.

Anyway, the name of the boat is "Island Chaser" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I'm having some gelcoat work done and had the faded painted name buffed off.

3 year old want's to call it Barney or Pink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I'm throwing it out to the group for some ideas. It's a family boat, so, let's try and keep suggestions "G" rated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I thought of "Fish & Chips" with some tuna and poker chips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

post away with suggestions.

Our 24' was the KAMIKAZE named after our favorite cocktail at the time. =-)

People didn't like to get near us for some reason... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

We anchored near a 60'er one weekend and the guys wife started saying angry things like, "I hope you are heavily insured"... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flipa.gif) Take a chill pill lady. Geez, it's all in good fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


Boat names are great fun. Whatever you choose it'll be good.
My bro's name is Scott. when he retired for the first time his boat got the name, "Scott Free".
Then he started another company and sold it. The next boats name was "Scott Free II"... They're up to III. LOL

Our boat's name is Borderline, We had it shipped out to the west coast from Chicago and at the time thought we were borderline crazy for doing it. Our boat is a sail boat and we race on the SF Bay. One thing I have noted about boat names is that people get cute with fancy sounding names that can't be pronounced or understood over the radio. If you are ever in an emergency situation and have to contact the Coast Guard over the vhf radio you'll appreciate a simple name that is easily understood over the radio.

Hydrotherapy

Agua Caliente (its where daddy goes when he is in hot water)

It is always good to name it after your wife or daughter... Sailors have done this for years...

Didn't I read somewhere that is was unlucky to change the name of a boat? If the kids get seasick, get the the wristbands that have the little button on the inside. Tell them they are magic wrist bands and they will NEVER get sick if they wear them. They work! Walter Kronkites boat was named "Assignment". So if anyone wanted to know where he was, they were told, "he is on assignment".
Cheers, Elliot

My personal favorite is
WOFTAM
an acronym for Waste Of Fucking Time And Money.
It is PG if you dont have to explain it to the kids. (substitute Fricken for the other F word)

We called ours Ricochet. We bounced off many things while learning to put it on the trailer. It was always an adventure. Oh good times !!
