Naming a boat

[Donald Tyson]

Can I use a number for my Boat Name???
For instance may I call it the #101. Or 1977???
Yes I have an Idea up my sleeve but maybe its not a good dream

Start with

My Last Boat IV

and go from there.

Aye.

You can put any name you wish on an undocumented pleasure craft--but be sure it cannot be confused with some other type of vessel, is not a racial slur, is not obscenity or profanity and not easily confused with a distress message. For example "101" might be confused with "Coast Guard Rescue 101" or. Patrol 101". "el Medico" confused with "Pan Pan Medico" which means in international distress signals, "I am coming to the facility (harbor, dock etc) with a medical emergency, have an ambulance/medical personal available". The name should be easy to pronounce, is best short and memorable. It will be used on the radio. There are some in poor taste--but that is a reflection on the boat owner.

Yes, bad taste in boat names is, well, a reflection on the owner.

Such as this one I saw a while back: Bow Movement

Aye.

funny.. my last boat was named, "SeaBrat". I named it about 7 years ago and it was named after my sweetie, Sena <3 the boat is a 13.5' Dixie Malibu and it's pretty neat. I just purchased a 22' Cruiser and I'm in CDory Heaven now <3

Congratulations on the new to you C-Dory.

I sure love my 2005 22’ Cruiser.
I cannot wait to retire and spend many more hours enjoying the boat and water.
