Boat Names

Our current 20' Sea Ray is Fagheadaboutit. Name came with the boat and where it's bad luck to change, that name will stay.

When hubbie and I do finally get a new boat (sometime next year) we are thinking Bruz Cruz (Hubbbie's name is Bruce).

Can't wait to get out on the water!

I think I would risk the bad luck with that one.

'Saw this one on Ossipee lake, where there are many Pontoon boats...

"Loony Pontoony"

But one day I want a small, red, outboard, go fast. I'll call her the Jalapeno Popper!

You just need to follow the proper ceremony:

First sailboat on Winnie.
Was enough when we bought her, now looking for something BIGGER!

Our boat's name is "Three Buoys", for the three kids we had at the time we bought the boat - all boys. We've added a girl since then, so we joke we should add "And a Gull" to the name, but there's that bad luck renaming thing... wonder if it applies to a name addition?

Named all the boats "Wright of Way"

Just kept changing the ending. Currently on III and hopegfully the laast one for some time to come.
Easy choice when your last name is Wright and no one else can agree on a name.
