Location: 412 | Hey guys,
Just recently got a new boat and have yet to name it. Just wondering what some of your guys' boats names are! Is there any hidden messages or past stories that 'earned' the name? |

Location: Wisconsin | "Stuck on Three"
For a while when I was learning Lake Michigan fishing, I would always come back with three salmon. The fishing buddies tagged my boat with the name, then we would crack a beer once we boated the forth on each trip. Kinda dumb. |

My 2nd boat was an Alumacraft bassboat and while fishing with 3 people, 15 rods, a kwik cradle and more it was named the s.s. too d*** small. |

| "The Happy Fisherman" I bought a sign titled the happy fisherman and said that will the name of my next boat. The sign is like the old hunter xing or lab xing signs but in the adult version.

Location: Lake of the Woods, Morson, Ontario | "POOH"
I thought I better put it out there myself in case someone I know decided to "punk" me. In my defence, it was the name it had when I bought it and I wasn't about to mess with the good muskie mojo the previous owner sold it with.
There is a story behind it, but it's hard to explain when you have to yell over choruses of the "winnie the pooh" theme song. One particular group of guests with a good sense of humor even gave me a bottle of honey to keep in it. |

| My first boat was named "the dirty oar" I considered naming my second boat the same thing but when I ran into the guy that had the dirty oar a few months later he said he left the name on it. I ended up not naming it, but who knows if I'll name the 3rd boat? |

Location: Milwaukee | My first Tuffy was named: Genesis 1:28
I used to make people go home and look it up their Bibles, but parapharased, it is " the Lord God blessed them and said.....rule over the fish of the sea...."
I want to name my second Tuffy: John 21:3 , which is " I am going out to fish, said Peter, and he fished all night and caught nothing."
Kind of fitting.

| When I was a kid, my Dad had a name for his motor, but not his boat. We used to go "Up North" to North and South Twin every year. In the later years, there were 9 kids along with Mom and Dad crammed into the station wagon, and the wooden boat that we pulled was stuffed to bursting with all of our belongings. Dad would work on that boat every spring, checking for leaks and putting fiberglass in bad spots. Imagine, Dad and 3 boys heading out across North Twin at day break, powered by a 7.5 horsepower Evinrude. And hand-painted on the side of that work horse was the name..."The Pooper".

| Edmund Fitzgerald- "The searchers all say she'd of made Whitefish Bay if she'd put 15 more miles behind her". Or...." does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours". God bless the fisherman, on big water or small. |

Location: Wauwatosa, Wisconsin | I don't think i actually have a name for my Grandpas 19 foot runabout that i fish out of. but if i had to think of a name right now i would probably call her old faithful. Kind of generic but its true. When me and my buddies can't take out their dads boats we always come back to my grandfathers runabout. Its a bitch to musky fish out of..hard to control on a spot... but you gotta do what you gotta do to get out and chase skies. HOOK EM HARD THIS SEASON!!! |
