Whats Behind Your Boats Name

HI Raider

I have been fishing for dolphin fish since the early 80's, funny how times have changed, then we use to be the only ones out there off Wollongong at the traps fishing them!! So that explains why my boat is called Dorado 2. One was sold 3 years ago.

Cheers

We are still tossing around a few ideas for a name. It's a savage Ranger so the LONE RANGER crossed my mind.

When we registered it we used husbands initials and my name GHDLYN. Easy to remember.

Can anyone suggest the best place to get the name put on. (Penrith area would be good)

Should we have it painted on or just use stickers???

Our motor was christened Black Betty by my niece.

Whoa, black betty (bam-ba-lam)

Black betty had a child (bam-ba-lam)

I refer to mine as "The Angus Young". When i first bought it a mate suggested i call it 'HMAS Shitscared' but that never stuck. I just love Angus too much! :thumbup:

Mine is known as Olá.

Which is Portugues for hello. I was in Portugal last year and my friend Filipe would exclaim Olá! every time he saw a beautiful woman. Olá! became something everyone would say when they saw something cool.

So when I showed up with the new boat the Mrs yelled out Olá! in approval, and it stuck!

Cheers.

I have a ski boat which is yellow. Not very happy, but it came called "Lemon Charged"

In line with the first post, I'd like to call it "A Meeting" then when some one calls the office they could say he can't come to the phone he is in .....................

The next boat could be "A Meeting Two" then if they ask for someone else they can be in a meeting too

Yes.

You cannot change the name a vessel unless you go through a process. Superstition has it that you must pray to the sea gods (and there are several) and have the name stricken from the deep sea register. If she is a power boat you will have bad luck until she is run aground three times (and i don't think you can deliberately run aground).

Some cool names there.

Loved "A Meeting"!

Our boat is / was called "Fanta Pants" :1prop:

It was originally my dad's boat we had when I was a kid, he never named her. She is faded red hull (Read orange) & as some of you may know Aussie nick name for a red headed woman is (Amoung others) "Fanta Pants" due to the fact that red heads are same colour below deck. So Fanta Pants was born. We actually christened her with a bottle of Fanta! (at her re-launch after several years parked in my dad's shed)

Unfortunatley she has suffered a heart attack & the big noisy thing on the back no longer makes any noise :ranting2:

Maybe one day soon I'll get another motor & catch a few of ya's out on the water.
