If you had a boat, what would you name it?

[Daniela1982]

What is a good name for a boat you might own. Funny or serious. Here are some examples.

I had a boat a long time ago when I was in high school. The boat sunk but I salvaged the 33 HP Johnson outboard. I carried that motor with me to every place I ever lived. Finally I saw a boat for sale that had no motor. I bought it and put the motor on it. When I started it only one cylinder would fire,. I could not get it to work so I brought it to the local Evinrude place and they told me that they would not work on a motor that was that old. They knew a guy that worked on the old outboards. I brought it over there and he said he would fix it. I told him I needed it before labor day because I had to bring it over on a ferry. I went to see him a couple of weeks before Labor Day and he hadn't even started it. I told him if it was not done by the Thursday before Labor Day he could forget about it.

When I went back the guy was not there but somebody else was. I asked him about the motor. He told me the owner was working on it and a piece of the flywheel broke off and hit him in the eye and he lost the eye. I got freaked out and left the motor there. I never went back for it. A few weeks later I put a notice on the local bullitin board to sell the boat.

To answer your question , since I was going to use a motor I had in high school I was going to call the boat "Blast From The Past"

[Daniela1982]

Was that "Blast from the past" or a play on words, like "Blast from the ass"?

[exitseven]

Blast from the past is an old radio expression when the DJ would play a record from the olden days.

[Daniela1982]

I remember that.

In a similar thread I mentioned my earler boats.
A next one could be...
"What!"
"For Sail"
"Nauti Tool"
or
"Circus"

[Daniela1982]

Circus?

[andreasderjuengere]

Yes "circus" - a group of people performing all kinds of impressing entertainment. Plus a clown... me

"It's Not My Boat, But It's My Fault"

"Better Than My Ex-Wife"

"Capsized" (Printed upside-down.)

[Dongie]

I wood have to give it more thought.

[Daniela1982]

Don't think too hard, you might hurt yourself.

Boti.

"Delly"

[Daniela1982]

Now if it were a tuna boat it would be "Smelly Delly"

[DJB72]

It'd be a narrowboat on the UK waterways. It was the nickname of a girl I had a crush on as a kid. Never more than a friend but someone I think of fondly despite not having had any contact with her in over 30 years

[Daniela1982]

Those narrowboats are cool. Narrow and long. And if you don't like your neighbors it is easy to move.

[DJB72]

Yep. 7' wide and anything 55' and under can navigate over 2000 miles of inland waterways in England and Wales. You can be a "continuous cruiser" and stay two weeks in each place

[Daniela1982]

I know they make wider boats than 7 foot. I have seen 10 ft wide ones, and I think they also have 12 ft wide ones. Of course they can't go where the narrower boats can.

[DJB72]

You're talking about widebeams. Beautiful boats but limited to the wider waterways and rivers.
