Just got a screamin' deal on an unkown vintage 19' Boston Whaler. It came with a 1994 150hp Johnson Ocean Runner and a tandem axle EasyLoader trailer. As you can see from the pics, the boat needs a bit of TLC (and some electronics would be nice), but no doubt she'll float :D

So, my first "real" boat should really have a name. To make it interesting, how about a contest. With a prize to the winner.

Winner gets... uh.... how about his or her choice of a pair of blue Apollo Biofins in perfect condition or a perfectly working UK LightCannon HID light.
For the DIR divers out there - in case one ends up with the winning entry - how about a TX40 2nd stage regulator.

Hmm... we should set a few rules....

* Any contestant may submit as many boat names as you like

* Names must be within the guidelines of the ScubaBoard TOS (i.e. no profanity, please :wink:)

* I get to pick the winning name. If more than one member submits the same name and I pick it, the first one to post that name will be the winner.

* If I like more than one name and can't decide which to pick, I'll start a poll with those names and let you guys vote on it.

* Contest starts when I hit the Submit button and ends.... lets say..... June 30th at midnight?

Some hints ~

~ Her primary purpose will be to serve as a dive boat, though some fishing may occur from her deck

~ The water she'll frequent will be primarily Resurrection Bay and sometimes Prince William Sound, though Katchemak Bay is on my list of places to explore (and has the best Halibut fishing :D)
 
ah hell, i'll give it a go! but i'm telling you i'm going for the UK light as i already won a pair of black biofins online (then again a blue would give me options depending on my mood at moment of dive hehehehe)

try:
"snowbear"
"bear claw"
"mine!"
"sunshine"
"bubblemaker"
