=> That's what I have heard also. I heard that the HMS Bounty was a
=> renamed ship. I try not to be superstitious, but every little bit of
=> good luck helps. :) Hmm, I wonder what kind of luck it is if a boat is
=> not named at all?
_Got_ to be worst kind of luck to not name it!!!!
Actually think about it..  Plants do better when you talk to them, why?  
Because you pay more attention to them, not because they like your 
stories :)  I think someone that names their own boat (or renames it) has 
pride in it, and that pride will probably mean more attention to its 
needs..  I had a boat that I didn't name, it was a new one and I didn't 
like it from the first week (was a trade deal)..  It gave me nothing but 
headaches and I gave it nothing but, well nothing.  My current boat is 
not a real gem, however I love it, am proud of it and game her the name 
Distant Thunder (due to an un-naturaly low-loud exhaust note for a twin 
stern-driver).  It doesn't give me any hassles, but on the other hand I 
do give it attention..
