So I've got this 18' aluminum Starcraft.

Want to fish the Fraser River and figured I should really get a radio for it in case something goes wrong.

Pass the course and get my ROC-M (don't need a license or station ID in Canada).

Now I want to enable the DSC features so I need an MMSI.

I need a name for my boat in order to get an MMSI.

Geez. A guy just wants to fish.

So, thoughts so far

Leaky Hull - wife asked "what about after you fix the hull?"
AJOB - So I can tell people I'm on a job
Justwannafish - seem appropriate
No Name - Not sure the CG would like that one
BC1415187 - same as the registration number
Bean Counter - my day job
Lion Tamer - have to know Monty Python for this one, but I do have a hat....

Edit: reading http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=37803&highlight=boat+names&page=7 and getting a few more ideas.

Rehab
Piece of Ship
Gotta Pee - more because the bilge pump goes every 1/2 hour or so
Draggin Ballz - 2 downriggers on her
leaky Rivets

If I recall correctly, I used the registration number as a name for the MMSI application. Check with Industry Canada.

Re: #@#@&$ Need a boat name

I bought a boat a few weeks ago. I am the third owner. When we finalized the deal and I was about to drive away the seller pulled off the 'for sale' sign. Underneath I could see where he had sanded off the boats orignal name:

CRAZY BEACH

I lmao. I live with three women, I think I may rename it CRAZY BEACHES!

You're a Bean Counter? OK, how about 'the take'.

I like Leaky Hull too. It doesn't have to be true to be a good name. Besides, most boats leak at some point so it would be suitable.

I like those 'double entendre' names.

Actually, the title of this post is quite apt; there have been many times when I thought "#@#@&$" would be an excellent name for a boat....;)

Re: #@#@&$ Need a boat name

Naming a boat is tough, hard to be original but it's what you really want. Our last boat was named "The Whaler". We just named the new boat 'Lithium' as my homicidal tendencies seem to be suppressed when I am on the water.

Be tough to use in a Mayday call.

I mean, try saying "Pound At Pound At Amperes Dollars" three times fast :)
