Default Naming a 382......

I've dreamed of getting 382 and thanks to Magicfloat it has happened way sooner than I expected. I would really like to have a "cool" name on the back but am "literally" challenged. Any ideas? The best I have come up with is Cloud 9.....like I am on Cloud 9 owning this thing.




yeah, I know. It sux....so help me out.

I have the perfect name but don't want to post it here. It was on a Procharged 353 I traded in a few years ago.I will email it to you.Way cool ,depending on your point of view. When I sold it I was going to remove the name,but his wife insisted we leave it

Boat/US has a database 7000+ of Boat names if you need some ideas
http://www.boatus.net/boatgraphic/names/default.asp

I recently saw a Cigarette Top Gun with twin supercharged engines...name of the boat was Blown Income. I thought that was clever.

I like boat names that tell you something about the owner and what they like to do. My job in the real world is lobbying but not like what you seen on the evening news, I work for a non profit. If I become one of those high powered corporate lobbyist I'm going to name my megayacht Influence.

My wife and I had gone to the Atlantic City in water boat show were I bought my 06 292 from Trenton Marine.When we were geting into the Vette to leave my wife says "That was An Expensive Dated"
Name should be something that has hidden meaning to you. Good Luck with your new boat!!!

Never cared for the generic names you can find on the websites or in the boat mags but every now and then you see one that seems just right Take your time and one will come to you that hits just right. I agree that it should relate to what you do. As a dealer,I don't keep boats long enough to name them except my one true boat love that I will never sell,and the name of course is "Magicfloat". The name came from the business my dad was in 60 years ago,he manufactured outdoor lawn furniture trademarked Magicfloat after the spring suspension he patented. All of his boats were named Magicfloat,so it's only fitting that my favorite keeper is Magicfloat.

How about "Premature Flotation"?

Congrats on the new boat.
