Well, I picked up the new trailer this morning at a marina at Rice Lake this morning, drove straight to the MTO to register it and get plates. Went home to pick up bly and then high tailed it to Hamilton to pick up our boat. We met Gerritt there and he was awesome...helping to lift the boat from the old trailer to new one and setting up the bunks on the new one so that we'd have a nice safe drive home. I'd also like to thank all those who sent PM's on leads for used ones.

 

Anyhow, now that we have it, we figure we should name our boat. We have not picked a name as of yet, so if anyone has suggestions we'd like to hear them!

 

Also, I know naming boats is quite common, so if you've named your boat, let's hear it....as well as an explanation as to why you picked that name!!!

I called mine Simplicity, for two reasons, I use to pull it with my 4X4 named Simply Red, the other was because it was nothing too fancy, yet it served a purpose well. Like to keep things Simple.

Actually Jack (Nanook) named her the "Tin of Beans"

 

The first time Maribeth and I met Jack and Jackie at the Timmies in Lindsay he had a tin of beans sitting on the roof of his van so we would know which car was his... :whistling:

 

After he and Big Cliff tore the boat and trailer all apart and refurbished her we had to come up with a name and seeing as how she was still a dented old piece of tin can the name seemed to fit...

Nah Cliff I just call mine the big row boat with benches or sometimes the bare bones Aluminium or the big tinny.

I am surprised..thought for sure the boats name was "Flipper" :whistling:

....My first boat was named "Silver Miner" on account of all the deep rigging I did for chrome.

My last boat had no name but "Sinker" would have been good due to all it's leaks....lol (right Gerritt).

 

My new boat is still unamed on account of I've not come up with anything catchy or is that cause I can't catch anything?

the "SS Homer" named in memory of my dad (who we affectionately called Homer even before the Simpson's became a show). When he died mom sold his motorcycle and gave each of us kids some $$ to put towards something fun (ie not $ to repave the driveway or shingle the roof).

when we first started trolling salmon on Lake O we didnt have much look landing fish due to too loose a drag, an old friend was in hysterics one day when we lost about 4 fish in a row ans shouted out, "talk about catch and release your Hook and Release" and thus we named the boat HookNrelease :thumbsup_anim:
