Wow. Thought I had posted on this one before - when I still had my boat. My black-and-red 242LS was named "BlackJack" - a) for the color scheme b) It's a fun card game (referenced in the graphics) and c) My grandfather served under General John "Blackjack" Pershing in WWI.

Unfortunately, boat was sold 2 yrs ago. Bought it when things were great - then Recession hit in '10. Will get another eventually - when I retire and get a place on the water. Had no trouble selling it, either.

Love boats with black hulls, so I will probably go with the name again in the future.

Haha now you do! Seemed appropriate because mostly everyone who knows the boat calls it IDCE which is why i paid the nickname homage with the blue.

My previous boat's name was "Throttle Therapy" because after a week at work, I needed to throttle something. My new (to me) 272 SR1 was already named "Nice" because that is what people say when they look at it; so I kept it.

I named the one we just bought "It'll Do!" I wanted something bigger but it'll do...

My old 27 was named... I'm all wet... was my now wife's idea. And my new to me 33 zx named ... lake quake because it has a good rumble to it with the mufflers gutted.

Hey,

I was wondering what names people called their formulas???

I was just interested to know if you renamed your formula or kept the name from the previous owner if it's second hand!!

My old 86' 272-sr1 i called it 'shark'

My current 311-sr1 is called 'Distant Thunder'

Anybody got any interesting names??

My 1989 223 LS is named Distant Thunder to pay tribute to my father. Started with his old Velocity and stayed through the years until he got into Camping and out of boating.
