Anyone name their boat?

[FlyboyZR1]

We just picked up a '12 Challenger 210 and the wife wants to know if we can name the boat. A large majority of boats on our lake have names on the rear. I'm just not sure if there's room on the back of the boat for the letters. I could maybe remove the "challenger" decal on the back and place it there, or on the gel-coat portion of the boat in back. Curious what some of you have done, or maybe just go nameless?

Names are kind of fun, we have not named ours... If you do I would not use a name to draw attention to your boat when it comes to the DNR or sheriff. Just my opinion!

We named ours. She's called "Playin' Hookie" because wifey and I are off different days of the week. The only way we get to enjoy the boat together is when one of us is playing hookie from work.

Each word is on the back of the transat seats.

Betty, Sheila and a new addition Veronica.... I might be a little to attached to my craft.... you could put a smaller name on the side? More like a signature rather than a name tag?

Awesome! Could you post a pic of this sometime? Curious how it looks on the back of the transat seats.

In as much as I am one of the oldest members:

I haven't lettered the boat yet, but when I do, it will be named "Wet 'Vette." Story behind that... all of our friends were getting pontoon/deck boats so their kids would have play room. My wife and I don't have kids, so we equated the pontoons to a station wagon or mini-van. Obviously, we bought a sports car...hence the name "Wet 'Vette!"

Is there a boat naming registry so you don't have boats with the same name?

Only some people will get the reference, and I love it when someone comes up to me and says “that’s awesome, I love the name of your boat”.

We accepted the name added to our recently purchased vessel. I was planning to remove it, but eventually liked the scripting, etc.
Not sure what it signifies, but i thought what does it really matter?

Perhaps it was the replacement boat owned by a set of extremely well endowed triplets? ;-)

Lol, possible.
Then maybe I thought it was one of the set crew for Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.
