Landlocked Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Hi folks, I'm having the pinstriping on our 23 Four Winns redone and thought it would be a good time to change the name of her! Few details: our last name is White, we have two young boys and will be used primarily for downrigging on Lake Erie for picke...er....walleye and steelhead. Any suggestions on a new name?
Joey Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Well, you could just add at few letters and go by the name of the NOFX song "Don't call me White" Joey
Lungelarry Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Naming it after your wife is USUALLY a good way.....
blaque Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 White Knuckles (rippin across those erie swells at 35 mph) Wallhead (walleye/steelhead) Steeleye (same premise reversed) 2 for 2 (2 boys after 2 species) Pick.....errrrr.....Walleye Pickeye (pickeral/walleye) Erie-sistable Erie-placeable White Noise White Nights White-Caps Will continue thinkin, this is fun lol
blaque Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Dang, bowshep beat me to white caps while i was typin lol. That was my favorite

I certainly don't want to bring you any bad luck if you haven't heard of this, but isn't it bad luck to change your boats name? As for new names, I third the name White CapSS
BillM Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Seeing that pickeral fishing out on Erie is a bit different then anywhere else, I would name the boat. 10 Miles Out.
Landlocked Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Posted March 4, 2008 I certainly don't want to bring you any bad luck if you haven't heard of this, but isn't it bad luck to change your boats name? As for new names, I third the name White CapSS You're right, changing the name is generally bad luck but I found there is a "procedure" to go through which usually involves a few cronies and many "refreshments" to bring in the new name.
irishfield Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Was the best I could do for ya Andy ! I still haven't got past naming mine Nightmare Express...

Terry Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) I guess " whites only " wouldn't go over too well <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view¤t=whites1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/whites1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Edited March 4, 2008 by Terry
Kirk Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I second the no name change, its bad luck. Even if you buy a boat from someone else and the boat has a name, you shouldn't change the name. But, if you can't live with the name someone else gave and the name change is a must, you should re-christen the boat with the new name preferably by a woman and with a bottle of champagne. 6 letter name is also bad luck
maybe Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Flashbacks of the Mythbusters renaming boats "Mythtanic" and "Mythtanic II" before intentionally sinking them. First thing to cross my mind was a slightly reworked Four Winns logo, with "Whites" substituted for Winns. My vote goes to Blaque's "Pick...err...Walleye" though. Funny, approachable and unique.
POLLIWOGG Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 The proper way to change the name of a boat is a party to remove the name and another party to give the new name. How about "Whiteout" "10 miles out" May Day May Day, I'm Ten Miles Out, 15 miles off whatever point. might be a little confusing,sort of like Who's on first.
Casey123 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Landlocked, I read the ceramony, I hope you don't forget anything or you will be, well you know.

kennyman Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 HMMM, last name White ......... catching steelhead .... two teenagers ....... I guess Whiteheads is bad eh? LOL . Actually I just chimed in to say I liked the name WhiteCaps as well. Good one guys.
pikehunter Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Poseidon is a mighty god and Neptune a mighty King. Two Gods I would not want to have P.O'd at me while out on Erie in high seas and the wind howling all down the length of this great inland sea. You had better follow Roy's link and treat it as gospel! Best of luck with your new boat and many happy trips out on Erie. How about NotLandLocked? But then again, count the letters. Thirteen of them, better not try that one.
kennyman Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 "ErieWhites" "FamilyAffair" "Family Affair" .... with Jody and Buffy and Mr. French LOL . Okay, now I'm dating myself . (TV for any youngsters out there)
