Re: Boat names.
I don't know how many of you have seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, or remember it, but it's one of my 2 boys' favorite movies (mine too).<br /><br />In this movie, the dad buys an old piece of junk car, and transforms it into something of beauty.<br />It ends up having real nice varnished wood, double cockpit, and a bright polished hood. It was painted black and red. He built it all out in his workshop, then took the kids on adventures they would never forget. They named the car Chitty after the sound that it made.<br /><br />A year ago, I bought my old Crestliner, which wasn't trashed, but wasn't pretty either. I gave it a double cockpit, nice varnished wood seats, and a polished front and middle deck (out in my workshop of course). When I was "done" (they're never "done"), I thought I would paint it next year, (which is now). I was thinking of colors, and I decided on keeping the deck shiny, the sides black, and the bottom red.<br /><br />Well, all last summer, we had some great adventures on that boat, and many more to come I'm sure. It finally occured to me, that my boat reminded me slightly of Chitty, the way it sounded, and the way it was made, and was starting to look. So, it goes without saying, I'm thinking of naming my boat Chitty.<br /><br />Waddya think?
