Of you had a boat/ship what would you name it?

[dustybiker]

Think I’d go with “Unplugged.”

I had an outboard motor from when I was in high school. The boat sunk in the 80s but I fixed up the motor and brought it with me everywhere I moved. I finally found a boat without a motor. I was going to name it "Blast From The Past".

[dustybiker]

haha Perfect.

[exitseven]

I brought the motor up and put it on the boat I bought. It was an aluminum boat that was 16 feet. The motor was a 33 HP. The motor started but would only run on one cylinder. I could not figure out what was wrong. I had done a tune up on it. I brought it to the local marina and the guy said he would not work on it because it was so old (1967) but he knew a guy that would fix it. Si I go and see hime and I tell him I needed it for Labor Day. That gave him 4 months to fix it. Two weeks before Labor Day I go and see the guy. He bought all the parts but hadn't started it yet. I told him if he couldn't do it by labor day weekend to just forget it.
The day before the weekend I go to his shop and he was not there. Another guy was there and he told me that while he was working on my motor, a piece of the flywheel broke off and hit him in the eye and he lost the eye. I was so freaked out I just left the motor there and later I sold the boat.

[dustybiker]

😱😱😱

[dustybiker]

That is truly beyond words. Poor you just as much as this man. Wow. Heavy stuff. I’m sorry.

[Emiliamazing]

Awesome!

[Emiliamazing]

The name is awesome! The story is sad!

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[andreasderjuengere]

The names of my boats were:

- C. U. Later

- Double Trouble (a catamaran)

- Kluntje ( Northern German for: rock candy )

If there's a next one, I think of either ''What!'' or ''Circus''

[dustybiker]

Really like those.

[andreasderjuengere]

Thank you

[SoftCliff]

-Ship Happens

-Anchor Management

-i sea the light

-Johnny Depth

-The unsinkable

-The Flying Dutchman or Fleur-de-Lys

[dustybiker]

You have a fleet. 😁

[SoftCliff]

Lol I wish

[Emiliamazing]

If it were a large galleon, such as in your picture, I would call it "the whiskey barrel."

[dustybiker]

Very fitting.

[TrueConfection]

Knot In My Backyard

I just made that up. I had a boat and kept its old name because I couldn't come up with a name I liked.

[dustybiker]

Oh nice. What kind of boat dis you have?

[TrueConfection]

A small sailboat.

[dustybiker]

Oh lovely. 😎

*did

[TrueConfection]

Yes, but we never even used it! I bought it because my husband and I both love to sail, but it didn't get used. I finally gave it away. 😢

[dustybiker]

Oh, I remember you saying this part before. That is such a shame!

[AviatorTom]

I always liked the name Julie, and a boat is a she, so she would be called "Julie Westwind"

[dustybiker]

Mine is a he. 😁

[nolabels]

I'm down to having two boats these days, named:

1) 'River Boat'

2) 'Lake Boat'

[dustybiker]

Basic and still great.

[nolabels]

Thanks.

I've replied a few times to this same type of question on G@G over the past couple of years.

Upon seeing the same reply that I've posted here, the question askers have good-naturedly insisted that I give them some different names.

It ain't happenin'.

If I ever get a yacht (not likely), I'll come up with some sort of clever/cheesy name, I guess.

Thanks for being the first to accept my boat descriptors as they are.

[dustybiker]

You are welcome. I’m not a fan of changing others, I don’t like that treatment myself. - Unless in good humor between friends.

[nolabels]

Cool.
👍😊

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Mine: 'Deelight'

His: 'Synchronicity'

[dustybiker]

I love them with special meaning.

[SnowedIn]

Alexandra for a ship or powerboat. Flying Cloud for a sailboat.

[dustybiker]

Both. Nice. 😎

[SnowedIn]

Thank you! I'm particularly enamoured with Flying Cloud. Fun fact of the day: In 1854 the clipper ship Flying Cloud set speed sailing record for fastest sailing time between New York and San Francisco around Cape Horn. She did it in 89 days 8 hours -- unheard of back then. That record stood until 1989 and even then it was a full-fledged cargo sailing vessel. The awesome part of the record passage: the navigator on Flying Cloud was a woman, Eleanor Creesy -- everyone in New York and Boston had said not only was she incapable of serving as a navigator, but also that she'd get the ship lost or sunk.

[dustybiker]

I bet her family was so proud her her. 😎 Thanks for sharing all of that. Sailing is one of those things I’ve always wanted more of.

[SnowedIn]

I love that story. Not sure if you enjoy reading or you already have a backlog of books, but there's a brilliantly written book that is a fun read too (not just boring history) titled "Flying Cloud" by David Shaw. Tells this story really well.

[dustybiker]

Oh yes. Bookworm here. I’ve almost two thousand books read in my goodreads profile history. 😬 I’ll be sure to add this on! 😎 Sounds a good rainy-day read.

[MendaciousMarxist]

I would have great ship names. i would name my ship "long, hard and full of seamen"

[SnowedIn]

Best answer so far...

[MendaciousMarxist]

@SnowedIn WIth a name like that, ruling the 7 seas can't be hard to swim in

[SnowedIn]

You might say you'd be on top...

[MendaciousMarxist]

@SnowedIn Just this once

[es20490446e]

It could be "Black Pearl", and be a software for downloading pirate movies.

[dustybiker]

There ya go.

[sirderpsalot123]

After you. After being asked what I named the boat, I can say that I named it after you.

[dustybiker]

Very funny.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker I forgot to give credit to my dad...

I remember him saying that on a fishing trip. He had always talked about wanting a boat and would come with the worst names. Wish I could remember more of them... lmao

[dustybiker]

lmao Love it. Juicy family credit makes it all the better.

[OddBeMe]

Oceanlicker.


“Yeah, OceanLicker on channel 4, sending out a call for assist. Found a lifeboat of playboy models needin help, over…”

[dustybiker]

[Kelly6]

@Charliefretz329 isn't that funny name lol

[Charliefretz329]

[SnowedIn]

One might say the hull would always be wet.

[Snedger____]

Yes it's always wet lol
