I have a 2001 bayliner (no, it's not a horro-story Trophy!)<br /><br />Mine is the Capri 215LX.<br /><br />Anyhow, I have been having a difficult time finding a cathy name for her. ( I guess I can still say 'her' can't I ? I heard someone was trying to say that calling a boat 'her' is not politically correct? Well, since I hate politics, and I'm definatley NOT political, HER HER HER ! LOL! That's another topic....<br /><br />I've always believed that the name of most things will present themselves in due time. Maybe the name will reflect their actions, their appearance, style, etc...<br /><br />Maybe I haven't waited long enough, or I'm impatient! Well, here I am asking for assistance.<br /><br />Any suggestions?<br /><br />Personally I'm a machinist with a family of 5.<br />The boat is the traditional Bayliner blue/white.<br />It has a 305 Merc, and I swear it has been touched by the hand of God! Why on earth it needs to move that fast I'll never know!<br /><br />Anyhow... I made a few blunders in it as all rookie boat owners will do. I got too close to a larger boat once going rather fast and jumped her wake. Made my boat almost airborne! Didn't think it could do that.<br /><br />One time at the dock while putting in, I didn't notice a rather large drop-off at the edge of the ramp. CLUNK!!! Down the trailer went right to the frame. Didn't do any damage, other than my nerves and embarassment!<br /><br />As I said, all things will usually present themselves with a name. Maybe from my brief boating career will help finding a name?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />H.

Re: Help with new boat name

We named our third boat because of the prior one we had a boat that was a Lemon from day one after fighting with the dealer and the manufacture for a year they repalced it with our current boat SHE is called the Lemon Aide. As it aided us in getting out of our lemon. Everyone gets a kick out of the name with the exception of the dealer and the new owner of our old boat. (Saw the boat on the lake a year later) I have always felt a boats name should have a story behind it something personal.<br /><br />Just my two cents

Re: Help with new boat name

My wife was on an extreme indifferent curve about my last boat purchase, until I was looking for a name. As I went through the list (FishKiller, Wet Dream, SalmonSlayer), I sort of jokingly mentioned her name. A goofy, dreamy look came over her face, she smiled, "touched" me in a sensitive place, and said, "you'd name your new boat after me??!!!"<br />I'm stupid, but I ain't dumb. Rebecca Ann it is ;)
