Re: Your Boat Name and what does it mean?
 
Our boat was named "Georgie-Girl", but had been removed before we bought it. I dont know that the previous owner followed any procedure and that could be why I bought it from the bank at auction.

Once all the bugs are worked out, she is refreshed a bit more and the trailer gets a make over (or replacement)....well give her a name fitting of our time and experiences weve had with her.

Here are some were toying with:

After 5
Summa Home
Yacht-Sea
Just About Perfect

Im a retired banker from the Portland Oregon area (Tualatin).

Ours didnt have a name when we got it and we have yet to name it. I will need that dock procedure though after a rough summer last year lol. The ol girl was in the shop twice.

I did not have a clue what to call my boat... so I called it "mine" in Italian ( Il Mio), as that sounds sexier (and less macho) than the dutch version :yes_grin:

By the way, great thread.

I purchased my boat with the name Trelos firmly painted on, albeit, quality job. It took me a bit to find out what it meant and I'm [I]pretty[I] sure it means "crazy" in Greek. I confirmed this once I got a look at the title and original owner, his last name ended with 'opolis" or something to that affect.:yes_grin:
Of course the closest thing to anything Greek in my family is the feta cheese in my fridge. However it is a conversation piece, so it will remain for now. We have played with something along the lines of "for the kiddos" as our last name is Kitto.:rolleyes: We shall see.

I'm a high school assistant principal in the wilds of Wyoming.

Years ago, I named my old Maxum " My Dixie Wrecked " Say it out loud a few times, you'll get a chuckle. No idea what to name the Mariah yet.

Hey
Just purchased a 2002 245 STC in December. I am renaming her in the spring to Scuba Due. I have the denaming ceremony ready to go ( good excuse for a party). As for the meaning.. I have been diving for a few years and well I was due to have boat.

Hey
Just have her in a shop getting buffed and having antifouling paint done and a complete detailing and buffing inside. ( she is going to be living at a marina in Nova Scotia) I only have the pictures from the broker because I towed her home Dec 17 and shrink wrapped the next day.. I will be posting up some pictures of the work over the next few days. Going to be a busy winter working on her. I am replacing the bimini top (color change), new graphics,VHF radio, sound system upgrade (need my iPod) ,a EPIRB, and a salt neutralizer system installed.


That's what the co-captain approved for this year..haha

The worst thing is that I have only had about a hour sitting in her so far.. winter sucks
