Named our first boat following a cruise on the Carnival Inspiration. Named the boat "A 'Little' Inspiration" - played on the word "little" for our 18' bowrider.

Next boat was a 21 footer, so we named it "A 'Little Bigger' Inspiration".

Now that we have had the FW now for one year, we have yet to name it. Any ideas that keep in line with previous names?

Thought about "Four Inspiration" to use the "four" (FW) instead of "for", but thought that was a little cheezy.

Not 2 SHABI

(SHABI = Spencer, Heather, Ashley, Bob, I (last name))

Sitting drinking on the beach, trying anagrams of all of our initials, and my 10 yr old came up with that one! Kids minds are great that way!

Ours is "It'll Do Four Now"

"it'll Do" (and It'll Do 2) were my grandfather's boats and my Uncle had the 3rd, so we had he 4th and being a Four Winns helped decide the spelling and with a double meaning and it will "do for now" till we get the next and bigger boat. :lol:

Not sure how they can say these are the most popular for 2011, when we are only 4-1/2 months in.... Nothing really stands out to me, kinda standard run of the mill names with not much thought put into them.

9. High Maintenance

Nah.. can't use that . that's already reserved for the wife. :wink:

I had considered calling the boat " The Other Woman" but went with Lizzy-Anne for reasons stated earlier

Seen on a really nice 22' center console here in San Antonio...."Do You Blame her?"

I take it to be a play on the phrase that my wife used to call my old car hobby....my other girlfriend...

Our boats name Seapickle II is a carry over name from our other boat.. a 1973 starcraft 18ft SS that left us stranded a couple of times therefore earning it's given name. It was such a fun name we kept it for our 268 and added the II. I'm often asked what a seapickle is and if a kid is asking the simple answer is it's a sea cucumbers cousin. If an adult is asking see below...
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sea%20Pickle :D


Now that's a boat name. Seapickle: When one takes a dump in an ocean or lake. Too funny.

Considering the type of boat we have, we named the boat and also named the engine bay.

"Bite Me" for the boat - for the King Cobra motors/drives and my wife says my attitude.

And on the mirror for the Engines it has "Snake Pit".

I will try to get a pic of that up.

Our last boat was Burnin' Money with flames for a theme.
