I am new to C-Brats but have loved it.
Just committed yesterday to buy a local '13 25 Cruiser. When the wife asked why I want to sell the pontoon and get this boat one of my reasons was "at 70 years old this is the last boat we will need". She felt a classy name for it should be Final'e . So she has a name before we complete the paperwork.

Couple years back, I thought of that name.
Last minute changed it to "My Last Boat IV".
Aye. |

Jim's Dorie was the original owner of SleepyC's 43 boat in his lifetime. I never got to talk to him about boat names, but I know it didn't come with "43" behind the name. I do know he was retiring and it was going to be his last boat. It was.
It took me about a year to come up with a new, relevant and KISS type name.

The lettering on "SleepyC" is about 8 inches from top of the "S and C" to bottom of the "y", Jim's lettering was about 3 inches tall, in about a 20" half circle.

BBlalock congratulations on the "new" boat--a 13 is a "new boat!" really.
As for the last boat at 70...we have had 3 boats since 70..so never say the "last"
When I retired I thought the SUV i bought would be my "last car"--its been 25 years and 3 cars.. (and a lot more boats)--almost all named "Thataway"

Mel, as I said in Death Valley, I love the name. I think Si Sin Nombre would be a fun pun, too.
On our way to Organ Pipe Cactus NM.

I wanted the name BUMSQUEAKER but the admiral said no 
It is derived from English soccer games. Sir Alex Ferguson (then manager of Man Utd) said "it is Squeaky Bum time when the game enters it's final minutes and both teams are pushing hard to win the game". The anus tends to tighten up as the tension mounts.
Now take this to C-Dory world. The engine(s) are screaming as you go flat out at WOT. Now that is 'Squeaky Bum' time

Martin, I was there once, and it had nothing to do with soccer. It did nave to do with 6 - 8 foot following seas, and coming over top of a wave and seeing a 40+ foot log laying in the trough directly in front of me    resulting in a quick sideways ride across the face of the wave, towords the white break beside me (we don't have a picture for oh c%@p but it would fit here). I did have a pretty good grip on the helm seat though. 
 my C-Dory, it surfed and came through fine.
