I like your graphics.
My 23 Tsunami is named "King Temper"

Three boats ago,I had a 20' Starcaft named "Reel Easy".I Bought a larger 22' Trophy and because it was bigger my daughter suggested naming it "Big Easy".(hence my screen name)

When I finished the SeaCraft restoration I couldn't think of a name for it,no matter how hard I tried,and I was sure that I didn't want to use the old name of the previous boat,or take offs of it..
I had all kinds of ideas but none really hit home,so I decided to have a naming contest on another site I'm active on.

I told everyone that I would give a Daiwa line counter reel and an ugly stik rod to the person who came up with a name for the boat that I liked,and would use.
I gave all the pertinent history of my years with boats and situations,work,hobbies,etc., pretty much everything they could use to come up with a name.

I should have saved the replies,there were so many good and funny ones.I ended up picking one of the names that seemed to fit me to a t. and the name was *** "King Temper" **

I fish mostlly for king salmon,and I have kind of a bad temper.I've thrown more than a few tools,and one day even snapped a rod in half over my knee and threw it into the water.
I knew I had the right name when on one particular day we were having a terrible time getting the boat to line up right on the trailer.
It must have taken six or eight tries to finally get it right. All the time I'm yelling and using all kinds of four letter words.I'm sure I looked like an idiot.
Anyway I turn around only to see the woman who works at the registration building at the lauch just sitting there watching my temper tantrum.
I was so embarrased,and apologized for my outburst and the foul language.

She just said "Don't worry I hear that stuff all the time,but you sure gave that boat the right name"

I knew then that I ended up picking the right name.
