[QUOTE="great white, post: 240508, member: 6238"] well, sitting around, reading build threads and I've decided to name the boat. I've always though naming "punts" was silly, but this one is a bit different. My Dad is slipping deeper into Alzheimers. Last time I was home to visit (2 weeks ago, I'm military and am posted away) he was barely talking. He stopped knowing us months ago. I can still make him laugh and smile from time to time, I'm at least grateful for that small mercy for him. So since it's Dad's old boat, I'm going to name it for the sake of remembrance: Dad's Bouy Dad's boat, I'm his boy. Feels right. Nothing big, maybe on the transom in reasonably small letters or on the freeboard at the back. I'm also probably going to print a picture of him and seal it on the boat somewhere. Probably one of these: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/onshore-1.jpg[/img] [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dadboat-1.jpg[/img] [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/table-1.jpg[/img] I'm planning a little dry storage up under the bow plate, probably just laminate one on the door so it faces back to me when piloting but it will be out of the weather. It's a close choice between #2 and #3 I think.... [/QUOTE]
