We were heavily leaning towards "It's Only Money" for obvious reasons, but it's too close to @farrelltravis's name LOL.

My GF thought "Chasin' Booty" was a good name, but we have kids, and I don't really think they'll buy the pirate's explanation, haha...

I like it! No qualms here.

Couple of years ago we were in Bar Harbor Maine for a long weekend. My wife booked us on a lobster boat tour - it was an awesome boat and a great tour. Anyways - when we were boarding we noticed that it was named the Ms. Samantha. My daughter being named Samantha asked if we could name our next boat Ms Samantha. Sure thing honey.
So when it came time - she reminded me. Had to check in with her twin brother to see if it was ok with him. He decided it was fine as long as he gets to pick a cartoon to go with it. Now I'm thinking he's gonna pick a "cartoon". He goes online and the next day shows me this crab as I come home from work. So I ask him why he picked a grumpy crab. He says "because Sammie is a crab and sometimes, so is Mommy!" PERFECT!
So it stuck! I have that crab on the boat, our 3 cars and the work trucks. It's amazing that at 10 years old - he figured that out!!
 
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.
Thanks for the link, I got on it just to mess around and wound up ordering my "Blazing Paradise" since it was about $10 cheaper than the local vinyl shop quoted me.

We asked my 7 yo son what he wanted to name the boat last year, he said Blazing Flamers......I said we can keep Blazing but let's think of something besides Flamers:-)
 
I do need to name ours and I got to taking the old name off. In its place is a jetboaters.net sticker for now.

As a family, we landed on "Great White". Our last name is white, the boat is white, .... I could include the name along with a great white sticker
I was given this some more thought now and just came up with "Pain in the Gas". I might go with that. What do you think?

I like great white.
 
Best name I heard for a boat that tends to be a floating party..."Cirrhosis of the River"

Our boat is named "Chooch's Halo" after our first dog, who passed away tragically, almost 2 years to the day before buying this Limited S.
 
Mine is soon to be named Aquae Vi.. Latin for Water Jet.

My previous AR210 was name Procursus, Latin for Propulsion.
 
LOL .............. This one's sooooooooooooooo Ea-Z !

Barbie OWNS the boat ................

Therefor ....

This is what I'm hoping to name her very soon! Named after my wife.

"Family Time"

With all of the "things" going on in our lives, sometimes the boat is the only time we can all do something together as a family.

As far as the lettering goes... Call me "Mr. Cheapo" but I had enough left over in the lettering kit when I put the registration numbers on her so it didn't cost me a thing.

Not sure why this isn't working. I'm linking this photo to Onedrive.
 
"After You" I grew up on the river and remember seeing a houseboat named "after you" when I was around 6 or 7. Thirty some odd years later I remembered that name and named my boat that. I always figured he had a wonderful time telling everyone he named his boat after them. So I took his advice and carried on his name.
