We ate this weekend at restaurant by a dock and saw boats--
Their names can be run of mill or inventive...
Anyone have a favorite you have see or would consider for your boat?
Milk money was on one we saw--nice cruiser

My first boat was a small sailboat that I bought while visiting family in Ohio. I "trailered" it back to New York to sail on the sound. It was named "Souvenir".

While I was in the photo equipment/supplies biz I wanted to name my boat at that time "Must Be f/8" which I imagine photoman_6 would appreciate. I never did because at only 21' it was really too small.

My dad was a builder and he named his boat "Job Site" so he could "honestly" say he was at the job site when he wanted to relax.

the drunken marie named after my aunt marie . Everytime she got on our dads boat she was drunk as a skunk and then some . One thing though she never drove drunk , she made our brother drive her home and told him to drive back and keep the car over night and she would get a cab back to our house and get her car in the morning .

The summer before my husband and I got married, he bought a houseboat. We talked a lot about what to name it. I wanted to call it "Duty Free Period" because that was what his work calendar said when we went out on the water. He did not like that at all.

Another friend suggested Blind Faith because we were taking a risk buying a thirty something year old boat that we knew nothing about. Perfect name because we were also having blind faith about getting married. Our friend who suggested the name was our best man.

Perfect name. It's a great boat and I have enjoyed decorating it. We have a logo--sunglasses. I made shirts for the crew and stenciled sunglasses around the boat. People in the marina tell us how much they have enjoyed seeing us improve the boat.

sunk money

In economics and business decision-making, a sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered.

Cutest one:

Dinghy named - contract

Boat named - change order

Obviously a contractor.

Ours should be named - Money Pit.
