Does your boat have a name?

LOL yeah when I first bought my boat it had minor things needed to be fixed on it and I was leaning toward "Always Something" but the wife wants something more pleasant now that we have all the kinks worked out (knock on wood) :seeya:
 
I don't have a name for my boat but when I was having a long string of battery problems with the two jetskis I was thinking about putting names on them. Willy Start and Betty Won't.

Haven't had any battery problems with the skis in the last few weeks but I went to cut the grass the other day and yep, battery was dead in the lawn tractor...
 
NO DOUBT! my bosses 42' regal with duel 450 diesels has set him back 20k this season. first his winless winch pulled up someone else's anchor and he drug it back a couple miles to the harbor while it beat his bow up. When he got it out of the shop after fixing it one of the engines went out. its name is "COIN DROP" lol

that reminds me of something that happened in Mexico 2 years ago. We had a party of about 20 that chartered a boat for a snorkling cruise. 100 ft from the dock an engine blows, smoke billowing out of the hold. so the Mexican crew decides to continue out on 1 engine. We get in the water to snorkel and 5 minutees later it starts to lightening and rain so we get back on the boat and start heading back. About 30 minutes after we started heading back I start looking at the shore and thinking we sure havent gotten very far and it seems like I remember passing the same landmark 3 times. I watched the shore for a while and sure enough we were going backwards, I figured it was the tides and having only one engine, but I'm standing next to the captain and I ask him "why are we going backwards?" he says "we no going backwards". ok, he's the captain. i continue to watch the shoreline, we seem to repeatedly go forward 100 yards then drift backwards. I turn around and see we are dragging the buoy from the snorkeling site behind us. I tap the captain on the shoulder and point behind us. "Ay yi yi". They forgot to pull up the anchor and it hooked the buoy line. So now Captain Ron decides to turn the boat around and head back toward the buoy at which point he now runs over his own anchor line and wraps it around the propeller of the one good engine. now we are sitting dead in the ocean in a thunderstorm, standing in freezing cold rain, half the people on board are by now deathly sea sick and throwing up, a line wrapped around the propeller dragging a buoy and remnants of smoke still billowing from below from the engine that blew up when we started out. Now that was a fun trip! And that IS a true story.

My Si was "Scurvy Dog", and my XP is "Scurvy Dog 2"

Didn't put a name on my other skis, or boat. (Don't know why)

Mine is called Hot Pocket. Mostly because of the comedian Jim Gaffigan. He jokes about just dunking a hot pocket in the toilet to save time, cause its ending up there soon enough anyway...
 
Mine is named after a greek god and a planet. Titan Uranus.... Kind of a reference to bend over???
 
My 96GTI is the "BeeBack", because my wife always gives me a time to be back to the dock.

My 96XP is called "NuthinButFun" for obvious reasons.

Sink-doo, it's maiden voyage involved me seeing smoke billowing out of the hull, water rushing in, and realizing the previous owner neglected to retighten the exhaust hose clamp and a little depth and back pressure popped it off.

Hey! That should be my name!!! lol
 
See my avatar picture. It's a song by Jack Johnson that my wife and I felt described us completely when we were dating. The first day I had the boat home I went and got the vinyl stickers, applied them, then showed my wife. Her comment was "perfect".

The name is Better Together.

I had a custom Harley in 2002 I had a dry primary so in the covers we drilled $$ signs. Everyone got a kick out of it.

But as of a boat name for the Doo I have a few but want to see how water time goes before naming it.
 
Not named yet but...

thinking about Lazy Dayz. I always plan to do something when I go out (explore this or that, fish, etc), but usually end up just laying around enjoying being on the water!
