....Now I need
a boat name. My MT was name Hi-Tech, but I'm at a loss on this one.

I prefer boat names that mean something to the people most closely involved.
On the other hand, a clever play-on-words is always good for a chuckle on
the dock, with the added benefit that you will think yourself more and more
clever with each passing beer or glass of wine.

The most important thing is to have a name easily understood by rescue folk
on the radio. Consider that before you name your boat in binary.

Well, the binary would be the lettering - you would pronounce it IT.

It - IT - get.....er...never mind... :)

However, C Drive, C-Plus, Downstream, Upstream, Byte Bucket, Bit Speed
are some ideas.

I don't know, the wife doesn't like the idea of it being named after
her, but she does like the C-Drive/Sea Drive idea.....You guys are
great at this! Keep 'em coming!

I still think you ought to do it in binary.

But...I really like DOS Boat

Much like "C Drive" improves to "Sea Drive" grin

So Can "DOS Boat" be improved to "DOS Boot"

Not only is it closer to the original "Das Boot", but we get an additional
pun on the fact that one Boots DOS.

Yes Clams you do, although I hope to have much better times on "Sea
Drive" than were had on Das Boot!

Now off to order lettering, and back to the dealer for rigging, final
prep, and shrink wrapping so as to depress me until spring! Will
report on first splash down come spring time! Thanks again!

Guess its time to change my posting alias....Sea Drive, wilco, out!
