I was right...I DID outgrow the 'tour (newest toy)

Yep, as soon as I got the truck I said to myself, "Self, you need something to pull". What better to pull than a boat?!

A little closer...

The business end...

She's a 21' 1968 Thompson. Pretty old, but other than some sanding and paint inside she's in good shape. On top of that there's a 327 pushing 'er around.

I have to name it. If you have ideas, post 'em up.

OLD POS.

You came in here to say that? Feel better?

Hey that's what I'd name it if it were mine. You asked.

I see you're still trolling here. I guess every board has one.

Huh?

Sure looks boat related and not car related

If your married, name it you ex-girlfriends name.

No, not really.

Never named a boat before, your guess is as good as mine.

I did nothing to this place. I used to be one of the biggest contributors in the Zetec forum. I kinda disappeared for a while when the 'tour went down and never really regained my interest.

Todd is jealous....he wants a boat.

"so Andrew, what would you do with a boat?"
"I'd pimp mer-hoes."

I like it. Reminds me of my trunk badge....what most people see when racing me.

Not so much now since my daughter is here. I drive like a grandpa with her in the car.

You better! If I find out you're being a 'tard w/ your kid in the car I'll come up there and kick your a$$ myself

I'll come up there by boat, of course.

I think the best boat name i've ever seen was in the show Nip/Tuck on fx. Dr. Christian Troy, a plastic surgeon, named his:

Boat-Ox.

hehe @ Boat-Ox

Right now the front runners are:

"Old School" (because it's old)

"Shanghai Surprise" (because I live in Surprise and Shanghai is a pirate term)

"It's Aboat Time" (an obvious play on it's about time)

S.O.S

One to consider... WET DREAM

SKEETER

Chuck Norris

we like to sometimes pretend you never dated that other one.

I like the "It's Aboat Time". Clever.

BUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The Nautilus. That was the submarine in 20,000 leagues. It might work for you depending on how well it floats.

Chris, you think Keith could dyno it?

Jesus was sort of outdrive is that - looks older than the one Noah had!

OMC?

Teivah... AKA Noah's ark, in Hebrew.

Nice Man! I like the boat, I've got a boat in mind myself but wondering where I'll be stationed next so holding out.

Are you taking it up to Lake Roosevelt? Or down to Mexico in Puerto Penasco

For now I'll just be visiting Lake Pleasant. As I learn more about the others out here I'll visit them.

The beauty is the boat is salt-water certified so I can drop her in the water in the Pacific if I felt brave enough (I probably never will).

Unless the world was different back then... 327 is a GM motor, so I'm guessing MerCruiser.

While I like Shanghai Surprise, do you REALLY want to name your boat after a Madonna movie?

Just call it "YAAAAARRRRRR"

muff diver

Puddle Jumper

Cuckin' Funt

I dunno...kinda makes him sound Canadian, eh?

I think it looks like the boat on Gilligan's Island. Call 'er the "Minnow"

Ahoy matey! Methinks ye should name yer boat Queen Anne's Revenge in honor of Blackbeard. And remember, dead men tell no tails! ARRRGH!!!

LOL @ all the suggestions

Keep 'em coming. I only have a couple days left to decide.

Since it is from the 60's and someone mentioned Madonna, why not name it

Lady Madonna

i named mine "the Angry Pirate"

google it and you will see what it means

i bout 23 ft imperial, its a 1985. blown motor on it (chevy 305)

i put a 350 out of a 93 3/4 ton chevy van in it, cam, HEI dist w/ vacuum advance. full rebuild on the motor, and i got vortec heads on it. my quadrajunk carb isnt enough for it
