What is your name of your boat and why? Mine is "Wizard" . Named it because all by buddies call my old man the wizard and it just stuck offshore many years ago. Thats how it got named.

I called my boat "In the Hole" as in where my money goes, a bit of tongue in check play on boat ownership. Which I wouldn't change for a minute.

My initials; RR
My GF's initials; DD

Polar Express (obvious reasons)

"Leave Me Alone" It was meant as a hint to my fishing buddies who are always chatting on the radio. I hope the fish can't read...apparently my buddies can't!

My boats name is "WET DREAMS"

I named it the because ,,,well, it was a dream to finally own a decent boat and of course it gets wet.

Bet you all thought of something different for a reason huh? LOL

Here's a couple of pictures of my girl.

And here is where she lives, built just for her.

"Macojoe"

Like with everything to do with fishing this is my name. Friends started calling me mako after I caught a Mako Shark back in 1995. My real name is Joe so it just fit!!
I spell it different as when I first started to use the internet all the mako spellings were used up.

just seams to fit......

"Fair Tide"

A fair tide is a tidal current that is running at the same heading as the course your boat is running, (fair winds, fair tides....) always a nice thing!

When I was in high school, I started at the Cape Tech in the commercial fisheries program. The training vessel was named "Fair Tide" and I always thought it had a nice ring to it.

I think everyone know my story !
As for Black Hull Charters,
A bit of a boating twist to the Black Hole in Oakland.

:rolleyes:My mother gave me that name 'cause when I was young I would tend to wonder into the house as the birds were beginning to chirp just before daylight. Like a tomcat, get it?!?! I, in turn, passed it on to my boats over the years.:gu::cheers::buds::hidin:

Lucille after my grandmother. Got the boat around the same time she passed.

G'Ellie B. after my three kids... Had to add the G when my third ( 2nd daughter) was born...

"KARAVI"

Its a secret between me and my dad (may he rest in peace).
But its a name he would have greatly approved of.

To this day, very few people know what it means.
Cause I don't tell them. :1poke::fishslap:

"Selkie"

Selkies are Gaelic mythological creatures. They can transform themselves from seals to humans.

Dark Star

Named after one of my all time favorite Songs

Also another name for a black hole. All of my boats have sucked money out of my pocket like a black hole.

Also, the Northcoast logo is this 12point star, in dark red, so that had some meaning too.

I will share a funny story:

The very first time I am launching my new boat. It is early May 2006. a friend and I bring the boat down to the ramp in East Greenwich. Here is a picture at the ramp from that day:

So anyway, we drop the boat in, get the trailer parked, start to motor out, and the very first boat, and I mean FIRST boat we see.....:

I thought I had come up with a great and original name!!! GUESS NOT!:jester:



Anyway, we continued out to Sally Rocks where I caught the first bass on my boat, nothing to brag about, but a start to some great memories on the Dark Star:

"Laura-Jay"

My Granddad named his boats after his sons - "Don-BoJo" so my dad has named his boats after my sister and I.

Thought it was pretty cool when I was 7, not so much now that I'm 35 and run the boat myself alot. On the occassion I talk on the radio "Laura-Jay -- this is Jay" -- sounds pretty silly.

When I got out of high school in 1980 I bought a 20' whaler outrage I paid something like 8k for it, and when my dad found out he said "it looks like you are in the hole with that one", so I named the boat In The Hole and when I stepped up to a 27' Aquasport a few years back I was still in the hole, so the name stuck.

Piss Pot

I think I've posted this before without the pic. My main occupation is finish carpentry and interior cabinetry.27303

I had a sailboat that i almost named 'BLOW ME' but my family had a come to jesus talk with me and convinced me not to do it. I was going to name the dingy the hand job...

our mako is salty dog though we never put the name on the boat...

I do remodeling and finish work also. So I have to share this with you...

Very, very true.

FlyN Fish. 23' mako. I bet you can guess what my profession is.

At 16 I owned "Flying Cloud" a 17' speed boat with the straight up 2 stroke 6 cyl, 3 carb merc. No transmission, it stopped and ran backwards for reverse. At 21 mom owned "Beyonda Budget" trihull ski boat. I'm down to a 12' alum and a 14' long deep side jon boat I call the "barge".:jump:

"Bad Attitude" ... Wifey had a hand in this...you can guess the reason. :rollem:

Ross is whipped!:rotflmao:

A small price for being spoiled with regards to all things domestic, AND having a free pass to go out to fish virtually anytime I want. (Ask Luds, he knows.) Did I mention it was part of my 50th surprise? :kewl:

I've been trying to come up with one, I liked 'The Stinky Eel" which someone proposed for Nebe's boat awhile back, wife was not a fan.
I have been thinking about "Pressure Drop"
a Toots and the Maytal's tune that I always have in my head when I fish.

Sealatio :hihi:

HOTREELS, :kewl:

Ledge Runner for Ledge Runner Baits, which hopefully will be available again sometime this year.

My boat is Nana's Couch 2. My grand daughters all call my wife Nana. In April 2000 while awaiting delivery of my first Glacier Bay 2670 I asked my grand daughter Olivia if she was going to go out on the boat and fish with me once I got it. She replied "No........I want to stay on Nana's Couch and I shouted "that's it!!!!
Nana's Couch was totalled by a lightening strike at 4:30AM on May 21st 2001.

Nana's 2 arrived in late Aug 2001.

G/S

nice rig ya got /BTS out of that flying back braker ya had :deadhorse:

" Celtic Knot"

I named my boat, "Take it Deep"....I thought it was clever, no need to explain I hope..:humpty:

Ever see the "Taint" in Chatham? Dude's even got it on his vehicle license plate. I admire his nerve.

BYTECHASER

My fiftieth birthday a few years back, I was here in Truro for a week and the boat came up for sale and I was hot for her.

The wife drove 190 miles to Truro on a phone call, walked around it once, said "Happy Birthday", got back in the car and drove back to Conn.

The least I could do - "Beth Ann".

Great boat name. Pretty funny to those who get the name.

My boat is named Surfrunner. I am going to change it to either GAS HOG or SITS IN DRIVEWAY.

“Angler Management”

Just seemed like a good play on words. (Anger Management). Seems time on the boat, even when not catching is still relaxing if I am fishing. I do appreciate the catching even better. As a kid, I was always out with my dad on one of his friend’s boats. Those where the most relaxing days and now I get to repay the favor with my own boat.

My father in law wanted to name his lobster boat " Fat Bottomed Girls", needless to say his wife and daughter weren't amused :)

Alternative, because for Bill and I it is just and Alternative to our other type of fishing which is the surf. so its just the Alternative to shore fishing!!!!!!!!:p

Smokin Poles is the big boat.

Stinky Pinky is the skiff. :rotflmao:

I named mine "Outnumbered", I have a wife, two daughters, two female dogs, three female cats, my boss is female, the other two supervisors who work with me are female, and all the female workers at work are my employeees.

Johnny that was too funny. what did he end up naming it?

Now that is a great story. And, a beautiful boat to boot! :-)

24ft Osprey named "O'Fishal Business" and a 19ft Jones bros. named "Albie nut"

Velvet Fog

19.5' Mako cc named "Tuition". My last employer paid for my full grad school tuition, so instead of paying off loans like all my classmates, I bought a new boat. It almost was Tuition Policy.

My wife and I are always saying "it's not so bad" when we look at our lives compared to the problems others have. We've name it "not so bad" but are deciding on how to spell "not" - "knot" or "naught".......your thoughts? I like Knot So Bad. Whadda think? BTW: 23 foot Key West CC

"HOTREELS" because we can't afford good reels with good drags.

Smokin Poles is the big boat.

Stinky Pinky is the skiff. :rotflmao:

Not sure I want know why!:jump:

There's a boat in the Sandwich Industrial Park on a trailer named FAH-Q in huge letters down the side. That guy can't have too many friends. I'm sure the Coast Guard and Harbor Masters love him too.
