1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

Naming a 13' Whaler

Any suggestions on where to put the name? I was kind of thinking about placing the name on the starboard part of the transom. I was also thinking about doing it like MattGeiger did with "Yonah" with my city and state under the boats name. What do you guys think? Any ideas?

I had a boat named Thumper many years ago. I see you are into small boats as I am, but I think my house is a little bigger than yours. LOL Rich

I like the idea of the name on one side and home on the other, it would help balance the overall picture of the transom. 1963 13' Sport 50hp Evinrude Maintaining a level of sanity that is socially acceptable
