Name your boat?
Was just wondering if anyone named their boat and why did you use that name? Mine is "Aunt Irene."
When she passed away she left me a little money so in her honor I named my boat. Bob |

Re: Name your boat?
Be prepared to be bored. I've always called my boats something, rather they were "named" or not. This is sort of long. I've had a few boats.
Mine now is "Phoenix". I lost my Javelin 379 in a divorce, so the little skiff is all I can afford right now. Like the Phoenix of the Indian Legend, I'll rise from my own ashes. The Javelin was "The Pocket Rocket". It was a 17.5 foot boat with a 150 hp Johnson. Small enough to "slip into your pocket", and fast as a rocket. I called my Cajun Paul Elias "The Barge". I used to love to tease the dealer who sold it to me, (He was a good friend, still is although I haven't seen him for years.) about how slow it was. I told him it was so slow that I got passed by tow boats pushing gravel barges up and down the James River. Actually it was pretty fast for a heavy boat. I had a 16.5 foot Cajun before that. The boat had a Mariner 115 hp tower of power inline 6. That boat/motor made a particular noise. The guys in my club were waiting for me one day hoping I'd be late for the weigh-in and one of them heard me coming and said "Here comes that D.....ed Grey Thunder". The name stuck. And before that one I had a 16 ft Fisher Marine Marsh Hawk III/ 40 hp Yamaha that I called "The Tin Man" for obvious reasons. |

Re: Name your boat?
When I was coming home with my new boat, I stopped at a friend's house to show it to him. He said "That's not a boat, that's a Wet Corvette" and the name has stuck! JackL |
