Does your boat have name

How many of you have a name for your boat?

If so, does the boat have the name on it?

Is the name on the side or transom?

What size letters?

Pictures?

I never had a name on my 20' SC CC. I am thinking of naming the 23' "Illusion" because this boat definitely makes it appear that I am an accomplished fisherman. Which I am not (but hope to become).

Yep she has a name on her side. I don't recall how tall they are, but here is what it looks like:

My boat is 1999 25' SeaCraft

Blizzard-

Ha Ha! Believe you are a great fisherman and it shall be so!!!

Yes, my SeaCraft is Melissa Ann, named for my wife, best friend, and #1 fishing partner. I was ridiculed in the past for naming a boat after my wife. Some say marraiges fail, don't do it.... what a crappy attitude that is!

There was only one name I could have chosen and that is the one on the transom right now. That is, until the little ones come along!

Also, IMHO, I love boats named after poeple, which is another reason for using her name. Look at some of the big fishing boats and they are all named after a person, well, maybe not all, but a lot of them are!

At this time ... Finesse .... this boat's lines and its abilities ...to me , the SeaCraft, defines it. I could hyphenate it ....but I don’t know if I like that. Additionally the name is not on the boat and I don’t know if will be (go on the side) ... I don’t even have SeaCraft stickers.

Have lots of other names that could incorporate my wife’s name but we never really took to them. She actually came up with and thought Finesse was quite fitting ….I’m fortunate she is into this thing!!!

Hoop ...I so agree with you ... Some of the nicest I've seen are named after someone .... Look at Tom's Bertram ..MASADA not only sophisticated but incorporating his girls ...

One of my favorites was from the boat I spent a lot of time on ... Compulsion ... such a fitting name

What?? I was thinking of someone when I came up with that name......me! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, the aquasport's name is "Finster".

My boat is named "Instead" but I don't have it on the boat, I just use it on the radio. It's a 20' and I prefer no graphics on the sides of my rigs - SeaCraft logo excluded of course.

My boat was named Blue Boy on the transom when we got it. I took that right of the and named it Blue Balls, but we kept that off the boat [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I was going to name my 20' SC "Mr. Wigglie" and my wife said "over her dead body" - so it has no name on it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I was thinking of naming the Vette "Pocket Rocket" , but that got a big frown from you know who. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
