I nmaed my boat Surfrunner in honor of my Uncle Paul who was a commercail rod and reel guy. His boat was called Surfrunner. He passed away about 5 years ago. God Rest His Soul.

Naming the boat last year was very interesting. Many of the names were not "appropriate" for a family fishing boat. Things like Wet Dream.....etc

My kids actually came up with got fish? after the got milk ads. My oldest actually came up with a little logo and also found the official font for the milk ads - CgPhenixAmerican.

My best friend made up some decals for me.

Beach Blonde, a play off bleach blonde cause it's an old washed out yellow color but it's not her original color, and it's black below the waterline

SOKINWET - The name of my Dad's boats starting with a 14 ft. mirrocraft then on to a 16 ft starcraft and finally to his/my 20 ft. Seacraft. The 2 open aluminum boats earned their names; the Seacraft is just carrying on the tradition!

LUV-LEE wife's name is Lee

I named mine "Instead"

My wife at the time gave me the idea when she griped at me, "Just name it Instead, since you'll be fishing instead of what you should be doing!"

So that's what I named it, because I'd be fishing instead of listening to her complain all the time.

BTW, I had more fun with the boat than with her, but in the end each had too many problems so I replaced both of them.

I kept the name though.

with a last name like KOLODZIEJSKI the only choice was

Fishin-Pole

Laura Belle - Names of my wife and daughter. Traditional fishing boat thing.

I had seen a good cartoon for naming a boat,

The guy is painting "Lard Ass" on the back, as the wife is walking around the boat, asking, Did you name the boat after me like you said you would?

Very good!

I did Angler Management, as a play on words. Fishing is definatly a good stress relief. Many a days at 5pm, I'm still thinking it's just hitting noon.
Not a care in the world when out on the boat, well maybe the thought that the motor will start when it's time to go home.

As they say time flies when your having fun.

Plain Jane My wife Jane was on the phone one day with someone and they needed her full name and they kept getting it wrong and she kept saying NO its plain Jane over and over. She is now know as just Plain Jane around town.

I named my boat "Morning Wood" because the only thing better than waking up in the morning is waking up with morning wood

Moose Nuckle · 05-28-2005, 09:19 PM

My boats name is " Moose Nuckle." And no I did not name it after anyone.

NEXT2NUN · 05-29-2005, 01:44 PM

"DASH" named after the poem.

Fisherwoman · 05-31-2005, 01:40 PM

Named our 1st boat and the new boat The Alternative, because for BC and I its just an alternative to shore fishing!!!!

reelecstasy · 05-31-2005, 01:43 PM

What's a boat ?

B-assman · 05-26-2005, 01:23 PM

I've named all our sailboats SPARTINA (there have been 3 Spartina's so far - but I have never numbered them I, II, III) - after a boat in a book by the same name by John Casey. The book is set in southern RI - and long story short - the main character builds this boat that is very strong and withstands a horrific storm. Much like the actual Spartina ( a sea grass) that's also pretty hardy stuff and able to grow in pretty unlikely spots.

I haven't come up with a name for the power boat yet...I just call it "the Scout"

BEETLE · 05-26-2005, 01:40 PM

Why Knot - in honor of my father, an old time devoted Striped Bass fisherman. He used the name Why Not, I put my own twist on it.
