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.

along those same lines...a writer once joked about the name of Latrell Spreewells yacht, the "S.S. Biatch".

So maybe thats an option...better have a good hat though.

I agree with not renaming, but if it were my boat and it had not been named yet, it would be In memory of "the millionair" on Gilligans Island;

Thirston Towel the 3rd

in reference to wet towels...

Forget the bad luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Name the boat what you like! You don't want to have to explain someone else's stupid name!

I know a guy who has had two boats: Aquaholic and Aquadesiac.

there was a small sailboat in our marina named Caution had a yellow stripe around the gunwale and all. It was weird to hail him. You'd call out "caution" and everyone thought there was some sort of emergency!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif)

My father had a 36' cabin cruiser that was called SEAWOLF.

If I get one I want to call it CINEMA FACE BABY (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

After owning five boats power and sail I found that you can't go wrong naming a boat using your wifes first name and middle initial i.e. Nancy J. That is if you still are married....All those cutsie names wear thin fast.

Yep, when i was a kid we had a little 14' boat with an out board. the "Mary C" after my mom.

Maybe i'll go with the:

Mary C II
CBK (Cherry, Brianna, Kaitlin my wife and girls)

Oh and as for the "bad luck" thing on renaming a boat......I think it's bad luck to be Superstitious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

You know that a boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into.

We have a family partnership with our boat- us and two additional immediate families. Our combined use of the boat is around 100 hours a year and there are always discussions of why we need to spend so much money to maintain the boat.


I have suggested our boat’s name to be “Family Feud”

Hey Joe,

When I was growing up our sail boat was called "Abel II", we bought it with that name but aparently the "Abel" burned up.

I always thought if I got a boat like yours, fishing boat/cruiser, I name it "Ona Pa'a!". That's Hawaiian for "Fish ON!"

Have you checked the local fishing reports lately.

-Have fun!

Used to dock my 42 Chris Aft Cabin next to "The Raven"...

Big, black hulled 56' Bertram Sportfisher...

Dingy was named "Nevermore"...

So, if you have a literary bent...!

BYW, we named the Chris Craft "Gayle Wins".....

What can I say, the wife liked it!
