Hey all,
I bought a aluminum shell and have been busy customizing/building my own boat. I'm almost ready to paint and can't think of a cool name! It's a pure fishing boat if that helps. Thanks for any idea's.

I since I know from whom did you buy it (he,he), I would call it Titanic, it fits good, but watch for icebergs.... wink.gif

You can call it Ima Bikini Chaser, actually that was the name of a horse I had.

This is a bit too artsy for some people, but if you happen to like Tennessee Williams you could call it "The Bass Menagerie" (as opposed to "The Glass Menagerie").

Other ideas I had:

Walleye Be dam*ed! (say it fast...)
Das Boot
Navicula (Latin for "a little ship , boat")

My own boat is "unofficially" named "The Blanched Olive". My one grandmother's name was Blanche, and the other was Olive. I thought they went well together. Now I just need to get graphics and/or custom painting.

I came across that idea and ran it by my brother. Here are his comments. He works in the diving industry down in Houston:

(from my brother Mike)
"In nautical tradition (for what it is worth) it is considered bad fortune for any vessel that sails to be named after a masculine figurehead. It is also considered to be good fortune to be named after a feminine figure or a religous figure. Ask Mr. something Columbus about naming his vessels the Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina. Oh thats right he is no longer around to answer questions is he. Think about it, the Denbigh, named for an english gentleman and he has a town named for him too. It is in pieces in the bottom of Galveston Bay. The Hunley, named for the man that invented submarines, sank twice killing all aboard both times. The bismark named for Count Bismark, 3 survivors. Admiral Horation Nelson, the greatest naval warfare mind of the millenium won all but 2 battles. In the first loss he lost his arm to a French naval vessel he was on a vessel named for a man. The second cost him his head to a 8 pound cannon ball also on a vessel named for a man, as I recall on the Henry. But he did win about 100 other naval battles on vessels named for women. Now I am not supersticious but I think prudence should prevail and "The Blanched Olive" would suffice in attaining both a feminine mentor and give you a prayer or two if you might ever need it."

I like "Watts of fun". Very good idea!! My company logo even has a bulb in it's logo. As a matter of fact, could an admin change my username to that also? Before PW gets mad, hehe. Sorry Cory, I like to keep Paul laughing, his laugh is contagious!!
He just left here, I had to take his Margharita away, he was getting gooofy, heh.
