Okay guys,so I'm driving down I-75 and seeing Snowbirds headed both ways (kinda early to be headed north) and some are pulling their boats. Most rigs their pulling aren't too big but have a name on the stern anyway. I even saw a few jet ski's in tow that had been named which leads me to the question.
Have any of you guy's named your ski boat? Jbear, I think this cold air here in Atlanta might be affecting my brain to ask such a silly question. Might need to head to Fla to warm up. Can't imagine what it's doing to the guy's who are REALLY having to deal with cold weather and don't see their babies for months. |

I looked at several but came up with what I thought was a "fitting name" for our old girl....
" Knot Correct " Kinda because of the "not period correct " engine/tranny swap..Wanted to see her as an old boat on the outside.The look of a LAMB, and the roar of a LION......... |

Eric, that would be a good name for any boat that you would have.You wont buy a real boat........
Real boats have the motor in the middle and a prop underneath,forward of the RUDDER.... Maybe one day you will return to brotherhood of the true boat owners,we will let you back in in...............Boat dr |

Doc, Sounds like a name for a wood boat. How about "not" or Erics idea of "incorrect". I did however look in the ACBS directory and "knot correct" isn't listed. It is only my personal opinion but I feel names on boats should be on old woodies or larger yachts. Maybe that's because I've see too many people with smaller boats and poor tastes naming their boats. |

"Lotsa knots" was what I called my somewhat fast old 58 wooden CC? Or the classic words of Arthur Fonzarelli, "Correct A Mundo", was always a favorite of mine for an older CC. And while none of ours (mine, Marshall's and Rodney's) actually have a name on the transom, they almost all have a name (sometimes catchy) we refer to them as:
Olive Oyl - Rodney's Dark green Mustang Moody Blue - Rodney's light blue Holman Moody powered Skier Sally - Marshall's Mustang Baby Blue - Our light blue Mustang Orange Crush - 67 orange SN project which Eric is about to RE-stringer. Still working on a name (i.e., open for suggestions) for the Classic and the 64 SN which we just flipped over(other thread) and are hoping to have ready for GL. |

Okay, I'll jump in.
Contrary to Pete's opinion, I did name my boat for our Barefoot Racing team. It's called "Burning Soles" I'll post a pic, after I figure out the techno-gobledy gook and read the intructions regarding Photobucket (or my son does it). Steve |

I gotta agree with Pete...no names on Nautiques. Correct Craft says it all. To many dumb names on smaller boats.
Foot: We always think of Atlanta as being warm too but I see where you guys have had some cold and snow. If you wanna get warm and head south...c'mon down. My '80 is avalible just 10 minutes from the house and Eddies Am Skier is in his garage. In fact we will be rolling it out here about 2pm this afternoon for a little footin'. I talked to 62wood last weekend...he was heading out to a boat show and it was 14 BELOW zero. No way. john |

Not my Nautique, but I did name my Crownline (even without Jbears approval)! I think it fits!

Pete,that is a name given but not added to her stern.....
Knot as in nautical measurment of distance or speed..... As for wooden boats there should be no voids nor KNOTS in the structure.But can see where your Wooden Mode would kick in.. There are very few ,64 American Skiers that go faster than 50mph much less where our old girl tops out... Just a different twist on the wording and its meaning..........Boat dr |

I WAS there, and looking over my shoulder without squinting my eyes, I saw no Chevys. First thing you need to do is get a Ford.

Well, since I started this post guess I need to add something to it....
I was jokingly going to name my boat " She Hates Me!" ( got the name from a XFL player) when my 1st wife Screamed and Shouted at me and all at the ramp.... " I hate this F*&$ing Boat" the first time she tried (after several attempts) to put it on the trailer. That was the first and last time I asked her to do it. Doesn't matter now. I divorced her!!! My current wife can back a trailer in better than ALOT of guy's I've seen at the launch pad. Knew I married the right woman then.... |

Eric,
Sounds like you need a napkin, this is used to wipe that brown stuff off the corner of your mouth. As stated above there were no BOWTIES in the hunt. Maybe you can build one that will run with Reid and I , but it aint BS if you can back it up......... We were there ......you were not ..... Keep talking SMACK and give it your best shot.We can do a pinks thing if you wish...................Boat dr |

Morfoot, just a little different twist on the loading/trailer thing.
Karen does not like to back down the trailer, she is the champ when it comes to loading and unloading. She gets lottsa looks as we get ready to launch.Girls aint supposed to be able to do that. She will bust her off at about 6 feet from the water edge throw her in reverse back her off and be waiting at the ramp, in less time than most guys can unstrap theirs.. She is also pleasing to the eyes as well.. This is another reason to marry her......Boat dr |

Doc, You are correct that I completely missed the "knot" as in speed! Yes, my mind is in wood boat mode plus we do use MPH are our smaller boats. Now I feel knot so smart!
John, The dumb names on the smaller boats always seem to have that stupid martini glass decal next to them or at least the martini glass pennant! |

Eric, being the proud owner of a 18ft. Maxuum aint what I would scream from the roof tops.
The 5.0 is a dog and top end will leave a lot to be desired, but you can race with 62wood, Steve has a top end with that 6 banger of his that will compare with that Chevy....... We still read your posts , but will just snicker in the corner at choice of watercraft. If the deal goes down and you once again own a real boat Maybe Just Maybe ..... Grand "POOH" BAH is a fitting handle...............Boat dr Gearing dont make a boat fast, Horse Power plus the right prop..... Build your Chevy and Line it up as we did at Green Lake. But bring plenty of napkins..........Or Tampax which ever you fell is appropriate |
