I have a 14' open '70s Starcraft, converted to side console -- 18hp main, and 3hp kicker (both '57s). I'm thinking I should have a name for it this year. I do some laketrout fishing here, but also some warmwater species so open to ideas. Thinking "About Trout" or "Husky Musky" (if I pull it up to the St. Lawrence). Can't be too long, I guess. It's a small boat.

Re: Fishing boat name

I fish the waters in your area. How about "Cold Fish" or "Small Fish".

Re: Fishing boat name

good, good.... "Cold Fish" or "Old Cold Fish". maybe "Laker Taker" (which would be pretty much a lie so far, but could happen)

[Keuka Lake, btw, if anybody can do something with that. Finger Lakes. Wine. Grapes.]

Re: Fishing boat name

clever idea -- but would probably get me dragged off the lake by some of the out-of-towners.

reminds me there is always a conflict between local townies (I would be one of those) and tourists. Maybe something there.

I have a 1966 Starcraft Explorer I am redoing and I was thinking of naming that boat "Rockey Mountain Pirogue". Yes that name is too long, just thinking. Jim

Oh yeah, gotta give her a name. This may link may help you with the appropriate rites and rituals. Failure to observe them properly could cause you to incur the wrath of the sea gods :)
