curious, does anyone name their boats anymore?

[jb_from_texas]

I have had two boats. my old 14 ft v-hull was just that, real old. Had an old 1969 9.5 johnson (nick-named "ole reliable).

This boat's name was "Boat-dacious"

My new to me, but 20 year old boat is named "Hook Em'" and will soon have the pic you see on my posts stuck on the transom.

Curious, does anyone name their boats anymore? And if so are there any unique names out there?

We had a post late last year where you posted a pic of your boat, but no names.

So...? names?

I do jokingly name mine after my wife, because its tempermental too.

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

I do. These are the current 2. I just sold "Fresh Daily" (21' steiger CC) and before her I had "Fishous" on my 17' Whaler.  Notice the name "Rusty Hooks".  My name is Russ.  "Double Entendre"

[Siebert Outdoors]

No, but I have called it a few names before.

That's funny. Is it now named after your ex-wife?

Fishous? I like the play on words.

Low Budget Hookers is a classic.

I almost named my second boat "Boat-dacious II" but if you saw this boat you would soon realize there is only one Boat-dacious!

I have named my Deck Boat "No Shop Talk" (I haven't put the name on it yet)

I'll be naming my new little john boat, the one my wife doesn't know about yet, "Talk shop and swim!"

As you might be able to tell from my boat names I don't want to hear anything about work or work related issues when I am out in my boat. 8-)

          Funny you mention that Tom. I was out fishing this oast Saturday and an old Aquantince of mine called me. Told him i was in his hometown on such and such a lake and he met me at the Boat Ramp. We talked for about 5 minuted, then he brought up business. I no sooner got back into my boat, respecfully said buh bye, and went back to fishing. I do not need a good day fishing ruined by Shop Talk.

I just call mine "BIG RED"

[FlyRod]

When I fished from bellyboats I named both of the Fishmaster tubes I used.

I named the first one "LUSITANIA" but changed it to "Miss Behavin'" after I spotted what I took to be a periscope following me.

The second one I named "BISMARCK" but changed that after some basser with a British accent kept trying to run me down in a bassboat with " HMS HOOD" painted on the stern.

Now that I have a pontoon I am going to have to think of a name. My old boat was "Reel Scream."

[Gatorbassman]

"The Other Woman" but my wife asked me to change it to "The Office"

[srv1990]

I've come up with a couple names I like... just don't have the boat yet  :

[Flatfish]

Picked up a pack of letters and no's from Cabelas for the registration no's on my boat, well had these extras left over. Not being the wasteful type came up with the name for my boat "Fish Buster".

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

Write it like this maybe,hehehe

FIsh BuSters

[Sam]

I call mine "The Goose."

No reason, just like the name.

I have not had the name painted on the boat as it would clash with all of my LSU decals and confuse people since they get confused enough when they see the big ALABAMA decal on the windshield that my son placed there and all the LSU decals.

What can I say?  We love SEC football!

[Skwerl]

I finally came up with a good name for my boat today. I've had it about 6 weeks now and have been getting everything set up the way I like it. Finally got pretty much everything I need to consistently put quality fish in the bote, so now there are NO MORE EXCUSES for bad fishing days. I'm naming the boat 'No Excuses'.

[hootersdoug]

"Upper Middle White Trash" is what I call mine!  

[Rattlinrogue]

I haven't actually named mine,but I call her "Ole Nelly" for no particular reason.Probably because when I hook her up to the truck it's usually 4:00 AM and I'm still not woke up good and a little out of it.

[Tom Bass]

RL in NH,

You and I think alike. I figure that there is no need to talk about work while fishin' or boatin'! ;D

Anyone that does needs Keel Hauled....Of course that means I'll need to find a boat with a barnacled keel to haul 'em under : :)

[Glenn]

Had a buddy once who named his Skeeter "Dawn's Early Knight"

[bassmasta7]

Mine is 15ft with a 50hp johnson. "Boat-Jangles"

[JW]

In the movie, "Cabin Boy", the boat was named "Filthy W h o r e" :

[SavannahFisher]

I was thinking about "Slippery Nipple". I thinks it's the name of a drink, but I kindda' like it.

[Hot Rod]

My Stratos doesn't have an "official name", but around the house we call it what my three-year old daughter calls all bass boats with fleck paint -- "Sparkle Boat". ;D  

I can't imagine the looks I'd get from fellow anglers with that moniker plastered across the back. :-[

Neeless to say, that "name" will remain very, very unofficial.
