Hello everyone,
The warm weather is getting near and I'm working on deciding a name for my 1984 Glastron V192. It has never been officially named so hopefully i won't aggravate any of the water Gods :p However, I don't think i've ever seen an outboard boat having a name. Is there a reason why? are people that ashamed of outboard boats? If it's not against any boating rules, I'd like to name it and have decals made to put on the boat and clear coat over them. I can't decide between "Anchor Management", "Hull of a Deal", or "Bow Movement" (I really like this one because the last two letters of my registration number are "BM") If i do this, where can I put them as the usual spot is not an option because of the motor. Any replies are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!!

I was also wondering the same thing if people are to name there outboards. I recently just bought an outboard and There was a name for her (which i had to take off) was named "Baby Cakes" And It was placed on back of the boat one word on each Side of the motor.

All my boats have had names...inboards, outboards, I/O's and even my jetski.

Re: naming an outboard...

At least 50 % of the O/Bs around here have names. You put them on the sides. Mine are EVIL WOMAN and SWEET MELISSA. Neither named after the wife. Hers was TUPELO HONEY. FRED
