So, as my boat sits shrink wrapped for the winter I need a little help with maybe naming it. I've searched and looked a online lists for occupations type names.

Maybe someone has a good one. A little about my family and I...

I am a law enforcement officer and currently a detective. My wife is a 1st grade teacher.

Looking for a cool combo name based off those...ready go!

Everyone have a good holiday season!

Also, feel free to post a picture of your horizon with a name on the back swim/transom spot for reference for me. Much thanks

My 2000 Horizon was named "Knot on Call" by the previous owner (a police detective). He had taken off the "Four Winns" decals around the ski tow eye, and put the name up there.

I have since renamed the boat "Knot Easy" with the name in the same location (sorry no picture), as Knot on Call did not fit me.

Sorry, I haven't come up with anything clever for you yet based on LEO and Teacher.

How would you describe the "personality" of your boat? Or your family in your boat?
"Knot Easy" came from how hard it is to keep a Horizon looking new and clean and covered after each use (as well as keeping part of the previous name). My previous boat named itself "Sea Cow" based on how it handled with a heavy load. The boat before that named itself "Blue Streak" when I painted the little high speed ski boat Blue.

A police friend of mine called his boat "Cop Out". His name wasn't officially registered so I'm sure it's available. My wife is a pharmacist and wanted to name our boat "Drug Money". Since I didn't want to get pulled over every time I took it out I stuck with something closer to my profession..."Ctrl Alt Delete"

"Kindergarten Cop" is very good...

Is it your 1st boat? What about "1st Offence"
Covers both your wife's job and yours?

...or for similar reasons what about "1st Degree"
Then, if you have a bad (or good) day, you can say "...it was murder in the 1st Degree!"
