What's the skinny on changing boat names? I just purchased a boat with a name I really don't want to keep, but I understand there is a superstition with changing the name of a boat. Is this really followed anymore or is it just a fun story?

Some will say it's just a superstition, that you can change it at any time. But I wouldn't chance it. Here's what looks like a decent renaming ceremony to follow that I found - http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/rename.htm

Bill272,
thanks for the link. I look forward to the ceremonies as I will not risk it. It sounds like it could be good fun and a great way to start the boating season.

Go ahead.....change the name. Superstitions..........fhooooy. You want the name to appeal to you.

I have a go-fast, and the name of my boat is: GIMME FUEL.

I understood that once you name a but yourself you shouldn't change it!
