Whatever he names it, Tony needs a sticker that says “Don’t laugh, my car has 265bhp more than my boat” (Or 865bhp if he boosts the muscle car up to 1000.) Preferably all pink and maybe with Hello Kitty on it so his girls approve.
DooHahThat can't be a real boat name? Are there any written restrictions/ guidelines?
I’m with you on thatSpot on. One of our boats we named "Moody Miss" and this was regularly miss-heard on the VHF as "Moody Mist". Also worth choosing a name that is short and easy to spell; "Serendipity" was a lovely boat but I did get fed up with spelling it out.
Or like I did once, just called it 'Volante 390'On a serious note, I think you can put the build / serial number as a name . It would identify it till you update the name.
An extra family member call it THE SON
Our current boat is called Sula - the gannet latin name. It sounds nice, easy to spell and say over VHF and we love watching gannets diving down here.
Our friends own a Botnia Targa 27, it has a really boxy superstructure so they called her Kyttrin, which is Cornish for bus.
Naming a boat after a fish or bird can be cool. A fast boat inland like yours - Swift, Kestrel?
Lots of the Cod Fathers, as he was "The Don" how about "Hard Don"
On a serious note, I think you can put the build / serial number as a name . It would identify it till you update the name.
It is surprising , when I announce the name of my boat as Daydream Believer, how many harbour masters try to sing the name back to me. Unfortunately very few know the words to the Monkees song, so it stops there. Which is just as well because the boat was not named after the song.
What about Just Another Berk, I don’t mean that to be rude just an add to the family.
