I honestly did not realize it had been so overused until after I did a search on it after you comented. Have not made up my mind yet.

I am in the process of rebuilding my 2nd toon. I am getting ready to have a wrap done to it. I'm thinking about naming it "Time Machine" for so many reasons it seems perfect to me. Then I want to use the time machine theme in the graphics. Any thoughts?

Ed, the graphics look great. What size of lettering did you get for the boat name? I see BoatCop went with 3.5". Just curios what size of letters other have used.

Ron (Smoker), my wife is a teacher also, and I just got out of the profession after 10 years of it. When you mentioned you wanted something "school" related it made me think of two things:
"Professional" Development and The Teacher's Lounge. :)

LOL!!! And I just checked out the BoatsUS site and where you design letters there's a pic of a boat that says Teacher's Pet!

I wasn't going name my pontoon. Have been so busy trying to get the kinks out of it. "It" by the way is my 20ft, Godfrey, Sweetwater. Since last month, I've replaced the deck, installed the vinyl floorcovering, and rebuilt and carpeted all the boxes in the boat. All this hasn't got anything to do with the boat's name, I just wanted tell someone how much work I've done so far. As for the name of my Pontoon, my 4 yr old, great grand daughter actually came up with the name, "18 Boat" I have absolutely no idea why she calls it the "eighteen boat" but the first time she said it I knew that was going to be the boat's name.

First post

Just got a 20' Suntracker Fishin Barge in January. Had her out a couple times now and me and the wife decided to name her "Tardy to the Party". I like It, and when we are out with friends at the Gorge it always seems everyone has caught 3 fish by the time we get to the fishin hole.

Ok so I heard that it was bad luck not to name a boat and since I have blown up a motor on this boat I firgure that it couldn't hurt to put a name on it. I always wanted a boat named "liquid asset" ever since my high school accounting class. Long before the internet searches I thought I had a good name. Well after seeing the boatus lists I realize that the name is over used .I guess it would have been way cooler in the 1990's. So I have been thinking of different names to use. It was a toss up between a few. Since summer and boating season is my favorite time of year and there is also a good better than ezra song by the same name this is what I went with !

I will still use the name liquid asset on the forum and save that for when I some day get my aquariva. A million dollar 33' day boat is worthy of that name L.O.L.

Got the decals pronto from DIY Lettering. Got them on before it hit 100 degrees.

Now I just got to cover it up before the interior melts.
