Name for my boat

I'm replacing all of the wood because it was all plywood and rotten. Yes, it's maroon and silver.

Since it's maroon and silver, I'm reconsidering my position on the standupforthegriz website. I was thinking of naming it "Piscatore Callibistris" in honor of that little website.

I know, right?

Awesome name too...

I won't mind if the imp in charge of that website changes the name to standupforcallibistris.com

Congratulations on the boat. Is that a 40 horse Johnson?
More than enough to get around the south campus sewage pond chasing those big browns.
I'd work on the name for want of originality.
 
"Ash Play"
"Scabia Minora"
"Wet Kitty"
"Cat-Man-Can't"
"Reel Catty"
"The Cat's Ash"
 
Ha! Seriously, what is the outboard? What year is that bad boy? Are you replacing the plywood with plywood? Would be sweet to make some aluminum fittings to replace the wood.

Your Italian sucks and so does your boat. I could accidently hit it with my 1946 32' wooden boat and not spill a drop out of my beer. Which happens to be my method of sonar.

Ha! Sold that Johnson and bought a shaft extension for the Yamaha 4 stroke I had. It's a 9.9 hp. Most of the lakes I go to won't let you have anything bigger. ;). Which is great because it keeps the lakes lonely. :thumbup: I'm sure I'll get a 25hp for Flathead sometime.

I replaced all of the plywood with oak except the floor. They used treated plywood, which rots faster so I replaced it with regular plywood that I put 5 coats of thompsons water seal on it and re-carpeted. A removable/adjustable height seat is getting added to the middle.

You got a Chris Craft?

Sounds like a money pit. ;) B.O.A.T.

Cool. I put a ton of hours on a 9.9 used as a kicker. Pretty bulletproof. Hope you enjoy it.

Best part of a 4-stroke.... It's quiet.

What do you have for a sailboat?

Super quiet.
No sailboat. The 9.9 kicker was on a Duckworth Pacific Navigator. It had a TR1-Gold autopilot, so we ran the kicker trolling much more than the main motor (Yam 250). Was a sweet freshwater boat. Now that I'm in the saltwater, I have a Triumph 215 CC with a 140 suzuki 4-stroke. I was really skeptical about the Roplene hull at first, but it's actually smoother than fiberglass on the rollers we get down here. It's a good boat, but I wish it had a Yam 150. I think my 140 is basically a tuned up 115.

Always looking for something just a bit bigger/better . . .
 
By the way, I'm open to name suggestions for my boat as well. The first owner seemed like a badass who named it "Unforgiven" including a cool graphic with a fishhook, etc. The second owner was apparently some born-again who cut off the "Un" from "Unforgiven." So now it just says "forgiven." I'm not a fan, and have done enough to the vessel to warrant a re-branding. Any suggestions are welcome.

You are exactly correct! I will trade you straight across. My next boat will be aluminum.
