Hey folks, it's my lucky day.
Just put a deposit on a beautiful 1989 Outrage 18 and will be taking delivery by the weekend. She's in great shape, with less than 400 hours on her total, and inspected all the maintenance records. I can't wait to get her wet.
Now the tough part. I'm looking for suggestions for names.
Anyone creative out there? (If it helps, i have a wife and 2 kids (one of each) that will be tagging along on here)
Thanks for the help
JV

Congrats and are you a fisherman? If so being on long island where catching bluefish is a right of passage in the summertime........"Blues man" has a nice ring to it.

I am a fisherman, and it's my hope that this boat will take me to plenty of them over the coming years.
Keep 'em coming!!!!

I pretty much have a deviated cerebellum and my thoughts go off in directions that can't be explained most of the time. From Long Island I came up with "Shorty's Isle" and the other from the kids is "Baby's New Shoes." I'm sure otherss will follow.

While it may be your boat, I vote for letting the kids or the wife name her. That way they will have a vested interest in the boat.

Own her and use her this season. She will name herself before next year. Just think about it for awhile and use a "placeholder" name on the radio for this year.
Mine came with a name, but after 4 years of ownership, I'd change the name to something original to me if so many people didn't know the boat with its current name....

Only 400 hours? How about "Newborn"! Now I'm gonna call mine - "Jurassic Classic"!

I agree with Buckda- she'll name herself at some point this seasong.
A word of warning- do not let your buddies know you are looking for a name. Case in point- my buddy with his shiny 2004 21' Outrage has taken to hailing me as "Second Fiddle" on the VHF. Ha, ha, ha. (I hate to admit I did laugh the first time)

A lot of different subjects might bring about a boat name, Occupations, Kids/Wifes names, specialties, sports affiliations, etc, etc,
For me I worked as a Sergent with Detroit PD Homicide, I really loved that job, it was rewarding stuff, I worked a lot of overtime in that job, it may sound demented but that overtime payed for my first Whaler, I spent a lot of time on that Montauk, one day I thought a lot of people mispronounce Homicide to sound like "Home Aside", I was spending so much time on the Montauk it was almost like a Home Aside from my real home...thus the play on words "Home Aside" became the name of my Montauk and now my Revenge 22 WT......

I always thought Shamu would be a great Whaler name. Kids would like it too.

Lotsa good suggestions... I especially like kamie's and Dave's (Buckda). Haven't named my boat yet, but have a few names in mind. I'm also not opposed to having a boat with NO name. Any other members cruising around with un-named boats? Do you still refer to "her" as "she"?

Well, since i haven't even gotten her wet yet, and the wife and kids haven't seen her yet, i'll wait. I'm sure we'll come up with a name as a family. Thanks all for your input. JV

Dan,
Out of all the Whalers I have owned, there was only one that had a name on it when I bought it.
I removed the name from the hull but did NOT change the name.
All of the rest never had a name other than what model it was.
I guess I am just not a name kind of guy....
