Re: What's the name of your boat?

Finally named ours after 3 seasons. Until this year we didnt name it because we couldnt really come up with a good name, but then this year we have had one problem after another, so we figured we better name it and go through the ceremony.

Named it "WISH'N WELL". Basically we just throw money in it and wish it works.

01000010 01101111 01100001 01110100

Well you could shorten that to "42 6F 61 64" and say it has been Hex'ed

ROFLMAO! (Geek joke!)

Of course they both translate to 1088472 in decimal so I guess it is like "a numbered company" ;)

My first boat was a ratty little bow-rider, a former camp boat, I named Privateer.

My second boat was already named Enterprise (after Starship Enterprise) - kind of cool so I kept that name.

Re: What's the name of your boat?

Well, it was "Lundsrude" (Lund boat with an Evinrude outboard -- plus I had a friend who's middle name actually was Lundsrude -- we're both Swedes).

Only trouble is I just replaced the Evinrude 35 with a Honda 50. "Lundsda" doesn't have quite the same ring! Pretty close to Uff-da, though!

I've heard it's bad luck to re-name a boat. Any input on that?

My wife wants to name ours the 'Maybe Baby'.

Maybe it will start today, maybe it won't

Our boats name is BOFUS ?Both of us?, because the longer the wife and I have been married the more we know it takes us both to make it.

That and panty snatcher was vetoed by the wife.

Re: What's the name of your boat?

We didn't have a name until about a month ago when we found out the wife was pregnant we had a name for a boy and name for a girl. after we found out it was a boy, well we both looked at each other at the same said "now we have a name for the boat = ARIEL".

Re: What's the name of your boat?

my wife is a twin and the less straight laced of the two. i call her evil twin. decided that was a good name for my boat also. after further consideration i am going with "My Evil Sancha" as the name of my first boat.

Buddy of mine had a 26ft Chris Craft named the "Moist and Tender." Interpretation I will leave to the reader.

Missed Stress

It was supposed to be a play on words and sound like "mistress" but I'm not sure anyone gets it.
