it's bad luck to change names on a boat, unless you make a plaque and mount on the dash beside the helm with the original name.

mine are

250 Wellcraft = Reel Fun II

V20 = Skool's Out

22' Deck Boat = Flat Liner

19' Sea Ox = Re-Berth

250 Sea Ray = Family Affair

V-tronics

The guys last name who owned my boat prior to me (I just pruchased) last name was Teabout and he named the boat TeaBoat. He even admitted it was a dumb name but after this past tax day it almost now makes sense. No I'm not keeping the name.

by the way my boat name is not jjjtronics, that is the name of a small electronics maintenance bussiness I used to run, which died with the latest economy. I keep it there because it is the three J`s from me and my two sons.
Do you guys have the same old tradition we have in which ships are named after Ladies or female gender names ?

My v is named 'PANARU'. Here's the story as told to me by the previous owner's grandson-inlaw.

The old man who sold me the boat grew up in a poor italian family. They could only afford the bread on the "bottom shelf" which I have known to be called 'brown bread', but this man called it 'red bread'. He grew up and did rather well for himself, but never forgot his roots and named his boat "Red Bread" = PANARU. I did not change the name.

ours is ...... The Bump-kens

I used to call my kids the lil bumpkens when bouncing them on my knee and when I bought my first whaler I named it the bump-kens and every boat since......


My dads boats were named .... poor boy, because he was dirt poor growing up.....

I've always like "Dis L Do"


Way back when...a buddy of mine bought a new Grady White instead of the furniture his wife wanted so badly...

Hence the name "Cindy's Furniture"...

Not that it really pertains to your situation (atleast I hope not) but my dad and his partner's old boat was named "Three Nads". Story behind that is that his partner had cancer in a not so nice place and was forced to part with one of his beans. They figured they would celebrate his remission with the name Three Nads. My dad's two and his partner's one.
