Boat names

[1800amix]

Was thinking while out on the water this weekend that I should give the new boat a name.

So, thought I'd post to the list and see what suggestions you guys might have. ;-)

Bad luck to change a boat name without making pledges to Davey Jones ...if you're superstitious that is :laugh:

Personally, I wouldn't take the risk lol

Maybe the boat hasn't been named yet?

Oops, Misread it as "give the boat a new name" (not "give the new boat a name") :S

I used a place called "Stickers" on Aerodrome road Maroochydore, they make up all types of stickers and boat names , I reckon any place that makes up viynl stickers should do it

google stickers boat names brisbane theres heaps

[tyrion]

i looked at this site when naming my boat recently www.boatnames.com.au/design-a-boatname.h...3tw6ICFQgupAodwlCy-Q but they were very pricey i think it came to a total cost of about $230 for 2 names consisting of 8 letters each, three colors and shadowed.

Thought this was a bit much so i did some searching found a local sign writer who was a keen fisho himself got the 2 names done up for $80. He gave me some simple application instructions as there was 3 layers to apply and even let me borrow a squeegee.

Went on very easily, so id say call some of your local sign writers.

The bad luck assocated with changing a boats name stems from the times of tall ships. Old boats would be infested with wood worm and rot and would break up in heavy weather. It would become increasingly harder to find crew for old ships. So the shipping companys took to changing ships names to fool crew into working the renamed ship.

Guy at the Rocklea Markets on a Sunday makes the vinyl stickers while you wait. Got the pair of yak stickers for 10 bucks, and took 5 minutes
