Mine's called the Slamma Jamma. It's a play on a phrase my good buddy says in reference to snowmobiling bumpy trails... "Did you hit that big wamma jamma back there buddy?"

I bought my 1860 cc seaark used and decided to mod it a little after owning it for a while. When taking the cc off the boat i found a hidden sticker that read "Property of North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission". A little research found that it was a retired wildlife boat.
She is now appropriately named "Tha Ticket"

I put my stickers on Saturday and instead of piling them on top like I have done for years (stack was getting pretty tall) I peeled some off and I found this:

Mine gets referred to as "that stupid boat!" a lot.

I'm a little late to this party, but as I'm nearing completion of my project on the 1962 Lone Star Malibu, I'm starting to consider naming the boat and found this thread. I never named any of my previous boats, but I think this one is worth a name. My first boat, a 20-ft Yukon Delta houseboat that I converted into a deck boat, had the name Molly Brown (as in the unsinkable) when I bought her and I kept it. My current houseboat was already named Serenity when I bought her, which I like and kept.

My parents never named any of their boats either, but they did have a 1/6th hare of a Holiday Mansion houseboat that was named Magic Dragon.

I've got a few ideas for a name for the Malibu:

1. A pun play on "Perfect 10", but that might be a little pretentious.

2. My son loves rubber ducks, so...

3. I suppose this might be a little on the nose.

4. This one is useful.

5. It's a tin boat with fins like a car from the 50s, this seems pretty descriptive and it rhymes.

6. It's going to be kind of tender when I take it out with the houseboat, and it's a little word play on the popular social dating app, though I'm not sure I want to associate with that.

I was also thinking of just using an online poll to vote for a name for the boat, but then I'm liable to end up with something like Boaty McBoatface (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/22/...you-get-when-you-let-the-internet-decide.html); though that is the name my wife is pushing for.

As far as placement, I'm going to put it on the transom, port side.

Funny thing this thread popped up again me and my wife were working on naming our new 14ft'er and Curious on a couple things... Anyone add a SS or FS or even GP in front of the name any more? Also due to the size of our tiny but mighty boats where is a good place to put the name? We are naming ours "Grant" Since we found the thing on craigslist for 50$! and that is the face on the 50$ bill.

Cheers!

'Twittledick' would be unique.

Wife doesn't like the name on the boat because she is in it sometimes. Name on stern is Happy Hooker. #-o

If you are into history and nostalgia, google up "WWII War Birds nose art" for some ideas.

of course, the same goes to search "boat names images".

Current tin is "Liar's Club II", since the tin prior was simply "Liar's Club". The canoe, due to 25 years of deep gouges, was named "Groove Thang". The inflatable cataraft, based on the price I paid, is "Baby Grand". The yak is nameless at this point.

My latest "new to me" TINNY, a 14-foot LONE STAR ADMIRAL, will be named "MISS SLINKY" in memory of my late "sister of the heart", who passed away just before Christmas 2016.
("Slinky" was my beloved Ellie's HS nickname.)

yours, satx

My 12 yr old son, Cody, decided on the name 'Flash' for his 14' Aluacraft. It's currently in work progress and I can't wait to post some pics!
