boat names
 

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.

R2-D2

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.

desperate one
 

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.

Raider Nation
 

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

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.Attachment 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.

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:

Al

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.
