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'. TY:beer1:
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.
I have a very od smokercraft 16 foot drift boat(beat to death), my fishing partner named the boat " smokincrack", name has stuck ever since
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, Bugger
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 We settled on KNOT WORTHY. Tom C.
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. TY
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'. TY
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.
Nomlasder helped be build my pram "Pramela"... The new Smokercraft Alaskan is the "Glennie Mae"... One FishCat is "Flo" as in florescent green and the other was named "The Pimp Ship" by Backyard. I'm not allowed to disuss accessories unless ya'll have EAR and ITAR clearances...
HEY KERRY, YOU MUST OF BEEN OUT ON MY BUDDIES INTRUDER WHEN I WAS DRIVING. YOU CAN NEVER REALLY TRUST THOSE DEPTH FINDERS. 9.6FT 9.4FT 9.6FT ROCK!!!!! WTF!!! I LIKE PRAMELA ROPER, THATS GOOD. TY
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" AM
The alumaweld I used to own I was going to name "Chasin' Tail". The girlfriend didnt find the humor in it.
