Ever have a boat named after you ? LOL
 

So this morning I get an e mail from my nephew Nathan. He has moved up from a 35' Formula to a 43 Nor Tech with 700's that he just bought out of Texas. Congratulations Nate. He wanted to know if it was OK with me, if he called the boat " BOB's MY UNCLE ". Too funny. I told him fine, but he will need to behave or people will be calling Uncle Bob and reporting on him. :) I will get some pics of the boat and post them. Next, will get him to join OSO and hope his screen name is not "Bob's My Uncle". LOL

I always wondered where the expression " Bob's your Uncle" came from and this is what Wikipedia says about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob%27s_your_uncle

Had a secretary from Britain a few years back and she used that phrase all the time. Now I know where it came from!

I looked for in on urban dictionary and it was not listed... That is the first slang phrase I could not find there.:evilb:

At least he didn't want to name it "Neal-N-Bob"

I'll watch for the pics.

I hope this is the boat - a 43 Nortech with 700's. I think it was owned by Jassman on here. Great boat, great price. Hope he uses it in good health.

Did he buy Jassman's old boat or did he glue Cardshark back together???:party-smiley-004: :angry-smiley-038:


Sorry Bob, couldn't resist!!! See you in KW.

Ever get asked to name a boat after your girl???
 

I don't think this is what she had in mind when she asked...!

Now that's funny shi$

Yep!

Yep, it was Jeff's previous Nor Tech. That will be a great boat for my nephew.

Now he can go faster than " Uncle Bob " ..... but not nearly as far ! LOL Nate will bring it to Florida and do some runs with FMO. He also bought a condo on Marco Island a few months ago so will be seeing lots of him. Like his uncle he is a home builder in Canada as well.

Look forward to seeing you in Key West, Pat and do some catching up.
