ALRIGHT AFTER SEEING INZANES NAME FOR HIS BOAT, AND THE DINGLE BALL ANCHOR ON ANOTHER DRIFTIE, WHO HAS FUNNY OR UNIQUE (SP) THINGS ON THEIR CRAFT THAT MAKE IT 'THEIR BOAT'
SINCE I DONT HAVE A CRAFT WORTHY OF NAMING, I GAVE MY FLOAT TUBE THE TITLE OF 'MINNOW II'.

i've been trying to come up with something since august, but there isn't really anything about my boat that makes it stand out.
have only named 3 out of all the ones i have owned:
BeachBanger (the old kiwanda dory)
DuzItAll (the 20' inboard sled that saw yeoman duty for a couple of decades)
Reelfast (the latest one in my possession)
I should name my raft the "I'm An Idiot". I bought it, I row it, and my buddy just sits up front and catches fish out of it. I wonder if he's really a bad oarsman or just fakes it well.

If I had a.....
Wooden Drift Boat it be called, Morning Wood
or a
Boston Whaler I'd call her, Hepatitis Sea
Then I think could die a happy man.
Tight lines fellas,

Ah yes, My houseboat was named FUGGLY for a short time. When I got the custom stensiled name put on my wife protested and demanded we change her name:mad: We settled on KNOT WORTHY.

Got a 17ft Arima named "Gordita"...Arimas are really beamy, and the translation of the name is "little fat girl".
16' jetboat is the "Redneck Ride"
Got a new one, 20ft bayliner (old-school, one of the hand-laid mid-'80s hulls)...waiting for a personality to emerge before we name it.

True Story...
A few years back I took a buddy of mine salmon fishing on the Columbia. He had never caught a salmon and I set him up with a bottom bouncing rig and eggs.
So here is where you have to close your eyes and picture this......
His boat is probably 10 feet long or so, has a kitchen mixer for a motor, and leaks like a pair of breathable waders. We started bouncing, weaving our way through numerous $50K boats anchored up with and fishing QwF'es and proceeded to knock the holy snot out of the salmon. The guys in their expensive and float-worthy boats were getting really pissed. Each time we made a pass by, we seemed to be fighting a fish, and bailing at the same time. I politely told my buddy that the "bathtub" may be small and gangly, but it was unstoppable.
Ever since, even with leak repairs, we have named it the "BATHTUB".
CHEERS.........:beer2:

PT,
I KNOW THAT FEELING. I DO HAVE A 12' ALUMINUM BOAT THAT I GO OUT IN WITH MY DAD AND A FRIEND OF OURS. THEY GET TO DO ALL THE FISHING AND I DRIVE.
I LIKE THE Hepatitis Sea IDEA. THAT IS GREAT.
JASON, DRIFT WOOD IS COOL. SIMPLE, BUT YET TO THE POINT.

DUDE THAT IS GREAT!!! THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PICKEL THAT MY UNCLE AND I WOULD GET INTO. OUR WIVES WOULD HATE IT 'CAUSE IT WAS DANGEROUS BUT WE WOULD FIGURE WHAT THE HELL, WE ARE CATCHING FISH. THAT IS A GREAT IMAGE, THANKS FOR THE THOUGHT.
WHEN I WAS IN ALASKA, HE HAD A 16' CANOE THAT WE WOULD ROW AROUND IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE, ONE DAY WE ABOUT GOT SWAMPED BY A 'WHALER THAT WENT HAULING A$$ BY US. HE HAD NAMED THE CANOE 'THE TIN CAN'.

I have a woody as well, "Ibentook" (though I don't really feel that way).
When a certain friend's rowing, I call it the toilet. We spin so fast I feel like a turd.

One of the best I ever saw was on a cartopper in Tillamook Bay named "Capillary". It took me a while...
Capillary is the smallest [blood] vessel...
Another good one was "the other woman". Personally, I like "Rx...Dr's Orders"

I saw a big ski boat called the "Fog Ducker". That seemed inapropriate, but funny as hell.

Awww, c'mon now.
Do you mean to tell me that NOBODY has named their boat the Happy Hooker?
Or Xaviera. Take your choice.
Right. Probably the wives & significant others would Not Approve.

eons ago I worked a few seasons on a troller originating out of Newport,then down out of Half Moon Bay and the bay area named the "Obstinate", always thought of that as a cool name for boat. Back in the same era another guy I knew had a boat named "Boat" as well.

Otter, I think you just gave away your age. I'll bet less then half the people on this board know who Xavier Hollander is. Her name would make a great name for a boat and I seem to remember seeing a boat named the Happy Hooker. I believe it was on gamefishin.

Old, old 14'6'' Willie that I push with a motor in the salt from time to time - push being the operative word here; five knots tops. We named her "The Pregnant Sow".

I have a small boat that I named "Whale Tail"
A whale tail is when a lady bends down and you can see the top of her thong style undies. It looks like a whale's tail when it dives down. Most people see the name and say that's cute cause they don't get it, but the ones that get it really crack up.
I like the name "Lucky Pierre" for a boat and on one of those shark fishin shows there was a boat named "Crack Oar"

There is a story about a kid that was so ugly they had to tie a pork chop around his neck to get the dog to play with him.
I named my boat "Pork Chop" because it gets people to fish with me.

I have a small 10 foot (I think it is that big) fiberglass boat that I got with a trailer for free. It isn't a good boat at all, but it floats so I don't mind. I am a college student so the funds aren't exactly there. Last year I decided it needed a name so I named it "The Caudal Peduncle," with duct tape letters. It goes well with my ghetto home made cement anchors. For one of them I used an old Adam's peanut butter tub to set the cement in, the other was a large orange juice container.

SLY,
HOME MADE ANCHORS ARE THE $HIT!! WE USED TO TAKE COFFEE CAN'S AND FILL THEM WITH CEMENT, WAIT FOR IT TO CURE A BIT AND STICK AN EYE BOLT IN IT TO CONNECT A ROPE OR CHAIN TO.
TY
Brake shoes from a train or rail car are the ticket as far as anchors are concerned. Dip 'em in that rubber paint stuff and you have a great anchor.
I've seen the name "Wet Dream" on a few boats. Still makes me laugh though.
Our old bayliner was named the "Lucky Dawgs". Wife is a UW grad and we always have the two labs out there with us.
