Since I am getting cabin fever and I keep trying to think of something new to post to help keep everyones interest, how about....
How did you come up with the name of your boat and what does it mean? Lets hear the history if there is one behind it.
Luna Sea.... Lunacy - meaning Crazy, lunatic, or more or less being a Sicilian.. .which is why I got stuck with the name. For years I was called crazy and a lunatic... even though I calmed down quite a bit, the name has to stay for sentimental reasons... It is very fitting since Luna means water, and Sea is self explanatory...
We sat down at 1pm on a Sunday for the Italian Family dinner, and during desert we were throwing names out there... until we found one. I am on the 3rd generation of Luna Sea's which is why I am now the Luna Sea 3.

Still deciding on a final boat name. I've got 2 in mind, got to make up my mind soon so I can have the graphics by spring. <'((((><

Irish Ayes.
Irish - Heritage
Ayes - Nautical Yes, Also Irish Yes.
Small spoof on Irish Eyes spelled with the A in Ayes to keep it nautical.
Bought her new, came home and told the wife, 'guess what I bought'. She didn't even know I was looking for a boat at the time.
(Almost as bad as when I traded in HER car for a pickup truck) rofla

tooo funny... I bought my boat before I got married;... so no questions asked..

not my boat, my father's....."THE RAGU'S" DONZI CC. my real pop died when i was 1. my mom re-married to a pollock(not the fish) turned out to be a real nice guy. he called his two step-sons "big ragu" and "little ragu". i was the only one really intofishing, he thought of me when he named it.

Fishinfool and I started calling our son little munky (my grandfather use to cal us that whe we were little.
We came up with the name for ur family website/domain years ago (adding funky, because, well, we are funky).
When we bought the boat last year, it was only natural that we cled it the funkymunky.
My buddie's daughter is coming up with a logo for us. a 70's, pimped out,funkadelic munky to put on side of the boat :)
My father always named his boats after my mother or my sister.
Then when he had my other sister and no part of my mother or 1st sister, he named it the Princess.
Tough hailing people on the VHF and saying you are the Princess :)

Long Story....Years ago the wife and I (GF at the time) are watching late night TV. Flipping through the channels we see a broadcast of Sinatra in concert. He (Frank) mid song, looks down at a women in the front row and says "Hey there you kuku baby"
For some stupid reason we laughed our asses off, made no sense to us but was funny as hell. Bought our first boat a few years later. Told her, doing my best Sinatra impression, "hey kuku baby, name this here boat" and so it goes...

Cool subject! My old boat, an 18' Grumman Superfisherman w/ 120 I/O, was called Scarface.. It was named after it was about 6 years old.. My bro' and I had been Striper fishing on the Hudson, out of Kingston NY during the spring run.. When we started in the afternoon there was misty rain coming down, and as is often the case in those conditions, once I got on fish, it was a mad-dog bite.. We stayed out until almost midnight.. On the way back in, I was running up the Rondout Creek ( which was a mistake in those conditions, ah the foolishness of youth) Un-beknownst to me, a barge had come into the creek while we where out and hip-moored to another barge at one of the shipyards.. It was sitting right at the edge of the channel... As luck would have it, an oncoming vessel forced me to that side, and suddenly the bow of this barge loomed out of the darkness over our heads! I cut the wheel hard to port, and got off the throttle, but we hit just as I was coming off plane.. Luckily due the the up-sloping bow of the barge, and the fact that I was dropping off plane, caused all the damage to be above water line, but we struck from the starboard side of the bow, to the console, which broke loose, crushing the sides, from the gunwales flat down to the deck.. I was the last thing to hit the barge, and luckily I got knocked into the boat, and not out, as I had broken a few ribs, and was unconscious for a few seconds.. My brother was unscathed as all the impact was on my side, and I'm convinced that my large size helped keep me alive..If his 130# frame had hit with the same impact, I shudder to think of the consequences.. When I came to, I was amazed to realize that the boat was not sinking, and I was able to limp her back into the marina and get her tied up.. Many people looked at the boat afterwards and said it was a goner.. But my buddy Phil, in NJ (a master welder) and other friends rallied to help, and pounded, rammed and come-alonged it back into shape, and re-fabricated the gunwales. She forever foreward carried the scar, a ragged smile from the bow to the console, reminding me of the angel on my shoulder, and the foolishness of running too fast in the dark, regardless of how well I know the water.. Our new Scout which we got in late Aug. still remains nameless..The plan now is to have a boat naming party on New years eve when all the family gets together..We'll have a round table discussion, come up with candidates, and then have a vote.. should be fun.. But Scarface II is out..bad Karma!

nice story

Good Story and Your alive to tell it.
Named my present ride after my Wife and Mom.
Then I built them trolling rods with their names on the rods and gave it to THEM for Christmas.(of course the rods were just what I needed).We had a good laugh.
Oh by the Way...
Bought my first boat with the gift money from my Wedding. Had a lot of explaining to do then also .... Stay Well, AJ

Do you think he will survive? rofla rofla

Well, I was looking to call her "The Filthy Hoar" but was out voted. My brother in law was there and he came up with the name "4th Dependent" Obviously, I have 3 kids so my boat is the 4th. I never lettered her that and instead last year for Christmas my wife gave me a handmade wood sign that I hang from the rocket launchers.

very nice thought... Everyone has a creative story behind there boats names, thats what makes this a pretty good, off season topic.

how is your last name spelled ED...

Nice thread here. The name of our boat is Dollar and a Dream. No it has nothing to do with the lottery ;D
My brother who works for Dorado Boats in Fla, also runs a brokerage business and unknown to me, had been looking for the perfect hull for me and my son for the last 2 years.(we also grew up on the water and the best times that the 2 of us and my father and gradfather had, were on the water and he wanted me to have the chance to create those memories with my boy) This past Jan. he found the seacraft that he was looking for and spent the next 5 month rebuilding and customizing it for us. then I get a call on Memorial day saying that he and he wife were coming for a visit in 2 weeks and we were psyched. That Saturday morning he asked to borrow our truck to "go to the store" and when he came home...the Seacraft was in TOW. Talk about being floored. We had no idea. Here's where the name came in. He would not take any money but to make it an official sale, I paid him a Dollar and as a result we realized a dream of boat ownership.. It is the only time (YTD) that I have ever been speechless and it really has been a dream!
Merry Christmas all and talk to you soon.

A length of Rope went into a bar, sat on a stool, and ordered a beer. The Bartender said, "We don"t serve Ropes here." Dismayed and disappointed, the Rope went out and then got an idea. He stopped a man and asked, "Will you please tie a knot in me and separate my strands at both ends?". The man obliged, and with this done, the Rope went back into the bar and again ordered a beer. The Bartender looked him over and said, "Say, aren"t you the same rope who was in here before?!" "No," was the reply, "I"m a frayed knot."
A Frayed Knot ;D

Knot to change the subject:
A bear walked into a bar in Boseman Montana, sat down at the bar and ordered a beer. Bartender told him "we don't serve bears beer in Boseman"
The bear said look, I just walked down from the mountain, I'm wearing this heavy fur, I'm hot and tired and just want a beer.
Bartender said "sorry, we don't serve bears beer in Boseman"
Bear said look, if you don't give me that beer, I'm walking down the end of the bar and eating that lady sitting there.
Bartender again said "sorry, we don't serve bears beer in Boseman"
Bear gets up walks down to the end of the bar and eats the lady, leaving just high heels and pocket book. Walks back to his seat burps and says now give me that beer.
Bartender looks at his and says "sorry we don't serve drug users beer in Boseman"
Bear said drug user I'm a bear.
(ready)
Bartender said: "well that was the bar-bitch-you-ate"
