What is your boats name and how did it originate to your boat? Personal experience? Fun?

Latitudeadjuster II originated of course with Jimmy Buffett being a parrot head. Not a big story.....but why the II?? My friend had the first latitudeadjuster. She was a 2000 LS and was a lemon. 6 hours or less on it everything was coming apart. Seats falling off...hatch hinges disintegrating...was horrible....so a dealer fixed everything except forgot they rigged the cleanouts. When we arrived to the Potomac I launched him and his LS and drove the trailer to the house. He never showed.....I finally seen a small boat towing him with the back end completely submerged. The cleanouts being rigged blew thru the hatch 200 yards in the air. I named mine, in her honor.....lol

This is a picture on my 2006 SX230 which I just sold after 8 years of perfect life! I miss her....lol.

But my new baby has a new name which I am ready to get created. I cant tell you the name yet as it is bad luck to announce before the ceremony.....just sayin

Who created your decals? I have a guy who did a great job but always open to others. LatitudeadjusterII.jpg

10 years coming up and still not named.
 
My go to saying: "It's just money, they make it every day."
 
Fathers Day is the name of my boat. I got the name because it was my 2011 Father's Day gift from the wife. Every year there's a crawdad festival in isleton ,ca and that year I had been planning on taking the fam for many months, having missed the year before. When the day came the wife said she didn't feel like going. Of coarse I was bummed out until she said let's go pick out a boat for you. hence the name " Fathers Day"

Nauti Dawg :winkingthumbsup"
@txav8r named her...then he was nice enough to let us keep that name when we bought the boat from him. Thanks Mel!
 
"Time Well Wasted" We are huge Brad Paisley fans and this was the name of one of his albums. We thought it fit the bill for our boat name. When my sons met him last year that was the first thing they told him. He got a kick out of it.

JET ER BUG

My 10 yo daughter came up with the name. Her and her sister are a bunch of jitterbugs. Kind of fit.

Ordered from www.diylettering.com I have not installed them yet but have high praise for the ordering process and shipment. Hmmm...maybe I will install this week.

Sorry, forgot to answer the other question.

Wife and I designed them using an online supplier's web tools (5 years ago, no idea who the vendor was). I applied them... Takes a little patience but is quite easy. Will edit with pix later.
