How Did You Name Your Boat?

[BoatWriter]

Hello all!

I am a freelance writer from Canada's beautiful Wet Coast, researching a piece on boat names. Please take a moment to email me (gould_george@hotmail.com ) your boat name, its make, year and model and a brief description of the thought process that came up with the name. Even if it seems obvious.

Thank you.

May the sun always warm your topside.

George

I named my boat after what I do in my spare time other than fishing. I am a Gun dealer. Thus the name of the boat "gun Runner" a 2005 191FS

We named ours Riese's Piece's (Reese's Piece's) after our last name.

i own the old Logic brand and my friends whom own fiberglass boats think it is "illogical " for this technology to be successful.

Both my wife and I's initials are DC, and we both suffer with the same affliction...fishing disease.

On Monday May 30, 2005, Memorial Day, we finally came up with a name for the boat. While at the home of my wife’s sister, relaxing by the pool, what came over the speakers was one of my favorite songs by Robert Palmer – “Simply Irresistible”.

In case you have forgotten, some of the lyrics are:

Simply irresistible she’s so fine, there’s no tellin’ where the money went

Simply irresistible she’s all mine, there’s no other way to go

She’s unavoidable, I’m backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I’m breaking promises, she’s breaking every law
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
She’s so fine, there’s no tellin’ where the money went
Simply irresistible she’s all mine, there’s no other way to
Go

irresistible
