We want to change the name of the boat we bought. What is the proper procedure to keep the evil boat gods from haunting us?

Rumor I heard is you can change it as long as it wasn't a name of a women.???

Here is why we want to change it.

I read the procedure on Boatersed.com.

I know you have to start by removing anything from the boat with the old name on it, including papers.

First, always use a blow torch to remove.

Last, plant the Mother Mary of Jesus statue in your backyard, pointing North of course.

Or just name it this My wifes favorite name

This link has the proper procedure for appeasing the gods:
