BoatUS Annual LIst of Top Ten Boat Names
And What They May Tell You About the Boat's Owner
1. Seas the Day: While this boat owner may feel they have no control over their declining retirement account, they are completely in charge while boating and intend to get the most out of their boating lifestyle. (This is the sixth appearance of this name and its cousin, Carpe Diem, on the list since BoatUS began tracking boat names in 1991.)
2. Summer Daze: A combination of warm weather and long days spent afloat on sunsplashed waterways may have put this boater into a dreamlike state.
3. Second Chance: Perhaps this boat owner has had a life changing experience and feels that their boat now gives them a second lease on life. “Second Wind†is the sailboat equivalent.
4. Aqua-Holic: On the Top-Ten list for the last seven years, this boat name illustrates a boater’s chronic love for the waterways.
5. Wind Seeker: No doubt a true sailboat name for a wanderer or racer.
6. Dream Weaver: Like the 1976 Gary Wright song that muses about an escape to dreamland, this boat owner may weave memories of good days spent on the water, sheltering them from the pressures of day-to-day life.
7. Black Pearl: The name of a fast, stealthy and intimidating fictional ship from the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean films, this boat likely has plenty of kids aboard.
8. Hydrotherapy: Takes into account the healing nature that boating provides this boat owner.
9. The Salt Shaker: If you know what a “Parrot head†is, you’ll know what The Salt Shaker is for. On a Saturday night this boat and its owner could be the most popular in the marina.
10. Sea Quest: This boat owner likely grew up watching Jacques Cousteau TV specials and wants to explore the world with their boat.

Sure seems appropriate when you put one together, that's why the guy I bought it from gave it that name!..
