Did you name your duckboat?

Nice tribute, but not sure I would name my boat after a wreck! Cool song though.....

Searched through the scientific names for waterfowl, and nothing strikes me... but thinking I might like "Barrow's" on my BBSB...?

Nothing formal painted on it, but when referencing the Broadbill that I built, I call her, LW. Little Woody

Ha!
 
During hi school, we had a series of boats named the mud stud. The last mud stud was put to rest, given away, lost, after I was married and quit drinking and fishing so much. The boat that replaced it is a fine boat, but it didnt seem fitting to get stuck with a mud stud monicker, since I dont drunk fish anymore, and no way was my wife going to get busy in the new boat. closest it ever came to a name was during a week of ice and fun, it became the 'green lab' because it was the only way to pick up the birds in the thick ice we had.

tk and mike's boat in the video had the name 'skint back' on it... i like dat. travis
 
The canoe we floated the creeks with was called "silent killer". I need a name for the skiff I worked on during the summer, I'm thinking "Murphy's Law" since it seem if something could go wrong, it did. Just like it did when I took it out this last weekend.
 
The Edmund Fitzgerald idea made me think of naming the boat after the hunting buddy I almost killed in my duck boat accident last year, how about the "Richard M. Larsen"?

I had intended to call it the "Dixie Normous"


Nick, we had a team of kids at school name their solar car, "Dixie Wrecked." It made it over the PA system one time. Man, that was funny!

My duck boat is named MRS SIP. Her maiden trip was to the Mississippi many years ago and she continues to this day. The stories she could tell would fill a book. She's been fickle and true sometimes the same day. I've lost her several times and she's always returned. She's been full of water and sometimes ice but has always recovered, always floating and never tipped over except in storage. She's had many different engines driving her with several Chryslers stranding her but her favorite is a 5 hp Merc. Hopefully there will be another trip for her to the Mississippi before this season ends.

The duck that my Uncle and I have always wanted to shoot and think is one of the prettiest ducks is a pintail, i got mine last year but my uncle is still on the hunt for one. We named our TDB "Sprig".
 
My 14 footer is "Flirtin' with Disaster", the sneak boat I just sold was "Evil Sandy" named after my wife when she went through chemo a few years ago. The 17 footer will be either "Deciseivly Engaged" or "The Dread Pirate Roberts".
 
I've had a run of boats, all named the "Quacker Attacker"....I am currently on QA2 (24ft seaark) and the recently purchased QA3 (DuckHunter from Brad Taylor). In the spring there will very likely be a QA4....a Bankes Goliath.

Those names are stenciled on the back or side, but they usually get referred to as "small boat" or "big boat"....its easier for the wife to remember that and understand what I'm taking with me on a trip.
 
Backdraft

Just like a backdraft of a fire, if the ducks see it or hear it they are already dead.

Okay the real names of my boats are less colorfull. They normally go by: new boat and old boat.
 
The 16' alumacraft always has been known as "The duck boat"
the 19' Crestliner Nordic it called "THE BEAST"

And the the ski boat is known as "Anne's boat" well, since she bought it I seemed fitting.

That reminds me Andrew, since I won the contest, when do I get the free hunt? LOL
