Boat Name + Story = Perfect Blend
The latest pictures of a boat floating nose up and then we all see the name of the boat was “Out of Controll” re-sparked my thought to start this thread.
I meant to write it after a sea trail last week on a customers boat. While driving through the London Bridge Channel the same weekend as the Ultra Custom Boat Regatta I was confronted (that’s what I call it when 5 boats are driving side by side in the same direction) buy 5 catamarans taking up the entire channel. I pulled as far to starboard as the depth would allow and the boat directly in front of me throttled up to pull in front of the rest of the 5 boat lateral parade. His depth perception was a bit off causing me to stick both engines in reverse and throttle rearwards about 15 feet. When all was said and done he squeezed through with about 6 inches to spare… waived at be as I screamed and they all kept going.
The name of his boat “I’m So Sorry!” I couldn’t help but laugh.
We have all seen the picture of the boat half sunk with the pier pylon 13 ft down the bow named “Temporary Insanity II” and all of us can only guess where “Temporary Insanity” ended up.
Lets hear some more names that could not be more of a perfect fit for boats?

Snapped this pic last year at the shootout. If I could have taken the pic about ten seconds earlier it would have been perfect. This chic was bent over with her back to us.

Here's one I found on the net recently that will surely be appreciated by this group.
There's a story behind every name- some kinda lame, some not so. Even a seemingly common name might have a good story behind it... I went to a guy's house one day to measure a boat for lettering- five or six boats in the yard. He obviously loves boats (and fishing). Tells me his wife's name is Ruth and that she won't ever get on the boat.
The obvious name... RUTHLESS.
