In another thread, Crabs called a boat's name "goofy" so it made me wonder how many name their boats. I would think your boat needs a name if you use a VHF radio. There may be another thread on this topic somewhere but thought I'd start a new one... who has named their boat and what's the name? There's some funny and strange names out there.  Mine is The Sea Draggin. (and yes I spelled it right) like "draggin lures.   |

Great thread idea!
My Sea Pro has nothing on the hull naming her, but I vacillate between referring to her as ‘Nauti Girl’ and ‘$50/lb’. The latter being the value of the seafood it produces.
Juan’s boat name is quite fitting, given his dragon proclivity. Love it!

OMG that's hysterical (and explains my rationale precisely). Where on earth did you find this sign? I must have one.

It's been hanging on the wall forever. Someone gave it to me for a birthday or Christmas present a long time ago and the $50 a pound still holds true.  |

Ours is the “Crystal Clear 2”. Have yet to put it on. Really not sure where to place it on the hull. Plus I haven’t had the “2” made yet. We had 3 or 4 extras made for the other boat. Friend owns a sign company.

I've never put the name on it because I'm too cheap to get the decals made, but I call mine AHHHH-Spray. Four H's because there are four people in my family and our last name starts with H. And I wish I could catch fish that weigh almost as much as I do like an osprey can.

And I wish I could catch fish that weigh almost as much as I do like an osprey can. I've said it before.. I still vote AHHHH-Spray as the coolest boat name. I assumed it was referring to an osprey and a wave mist hitting you in the face.  |

sv2100cc bad luck to name a used boat. I don't think naming a used boat is bad luck. It's only bad luck to change the name of the boat. According to the internet, if you do rename the boat- you absolutely must have a de-naming ceremony. I'm sure that involves a lot of alcohol.  |

I used to call mine SEA P-R for awhile after I lost my O. I took all the letters off so no name.

Ah, duck huntin's nothing, try ice fishing. Took me 5 hours with a chainsaw and ice spud to make a hole big enough to float my SV1900, which I refer to as Bucephalus. Don't know if I have the intestinal fortitude to put that on the boat however.

My son called our last Sea Pro Sharky, cause he caught a shark on her. I was always a little uneasy about that name. Now he wants to name our new Sea Pro Sharky II. He says it even looks like a great white. How do yall feel about that name? Maybe inviting trouble?

He's right. It does look like a Great White. I'd go with Sharky II  Maybe get some of those shark teeth decals they put on WWII fighters or one of these:  |
