I just purchased a 2000 268 Vista. The boat is unnamed and we are busily trying to find names (last boat was the "Pole Dancer" but his isn't a fishing boat ). I know renaming a boat can be a scary god trying process, but is naming a used but unnamed boat a karmic nightmare or are all the nautical gods OK with it?

No problem there. If you want to be safe, just drink a beer while you do it.

So long as the name isn't lame, making you an easy target. As for the bad luck renaming a boat ......ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!!!!

I'm with 230 Mike, drink a beer while your putting on the name and everything should be fine. Here is a web site with a list of boat names, that might help your process.

I would also focus on the beer/booze. Lots of it. It's for both sorrow & celebration. Out with the old (sad), in with the new (good)

but he's not really re-naming the boat.. he is just naming it for the first time... i would think that the gods couldn't be that pissed off. is there something official that needs to be done? except for the making sure that the drain plug is installed properly before launching the boat and making sure the beer is ice cold?
