Title: Let's name Three Weight's Tin Can
Post by: wedocq on February 04, 2016, 10:34:11 PM
This is a spin-off from another thread.  So we don't get to insert an opening post.  Topic is self explanatory.  There is a rumor circulating that 3WT will buy a beer for the person offering the name chosen, every time they meet...  Just a rumor mind you.   :whistle:

Also Kathryn has the final say on the name chosen,  no appealing her decision   :hoboy:

Back to regular programming  --  StreamFixer



Ok so I am going to nominate the same name as I did for the truck! :doh: Clifford!

Urban Dictionary: Cabezon  www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term= Cabezon -  A Spanish word used to describe someone who is stubborn, big-headed, being ditzy, said or did something kinda dumb or who has crazy big hair!

What Dave is trying to say is don't choose a name that sounds like "MAY DAY" when said 3 times fast. :doh: Which is a very fair point. :biggrin:

Using "the" in front of "Maddy A" and saying it slowly no longer sounds like "Mayday".  Fortunately I realized the problem fairly early on and made the adjustment.
Thanks Wedo, I should have given this explanation in the first post.

Fireball is standard issue on The Doctor during CR spring Chinook season.

As I contemplate this arduous thread sipping a glass of Bordeaux blend, the previous mention of Red Whine got me thinking of wines themes. I am hoping Katherine is more a wine fan than beer or mead.

Kabernet
K-Syrah
Cabernet Salmon-on

Some other random ideas.....

Slaughter House
Kat Cab
Kiss Kat
Katheter
K-Runner
ShudderFish
Red Hawg Rising
FearLess
Mead, Me Do It
The Doctor Needs a Beer REAL Bad

Post by: Yachter Yat on February 09, 2016, 05:48:53 AM
Doctor: 

   Katheter?.................KATHETER??   :bigshock:  I've got a feeling there's a "certain" woman out there (not gonna mention any names) who might take issue with that one.  Let's put it this way:  If that name ever happened to find it's way on that boat, that "certain" woman might get a "catheter" of her own and then go looking for a "certain" doctor. Once found, that woman might then be looking for a certain orifice into which she may contemplate placing said catheter.  Then..............oh well.........you get the idea, right?    :jester:

I apologize. "Katheter" was inappropriate.  You know you're in trouble with those reactions.  I did not mean to P.O. anyone, nor drain the fun from this thread.  I guess it just leaked out.  It was late and the wine may have been speeking.

Checked in with Northwest Marine today... still no ETA on when rigging will be done.  For my rocket launchers, their metal fab guy is going to need to do some work, and they apparently sold a ton of boats w/ the boat shows. 

We will probably wait till we have a few hours running the boat before settling on a final name for it.  My favorites right now are "Red Hot" and "Radio Flyer," Katherine likes "Dragonfly" and "Spitfire".

I have never heard of someone shot in the hear walking about 2 metres forward after being shot.  And firing, while gripping, a pistol.  Usually a fairly flacid crumple right after impact, unless it was a Desert EAgle (50 cal) then impact might take them backwards a foot or so.

Waiting until we've actually run the boat a few times before we pick a final name for it. 

Got a few more photos today... not quite done, but coming along nicely!

Very nice boat TW  :clap: . Always thought Hewes made nice looking boats.

I like the swim ladder at the back. Will be handy at the house also. I've got a three step stool just to get in and out of the Arima at home  :hoboy: .

So...... with the "bracket".... what is the total official length of the new rig??    Reason I ask is that I think there are some boat length restrictions that can be tied to some bar crossings depending on conditions.   I've heard that some folks with brackets (hull extensions) have been able to have the CC reclassify them so that you have more options to decide for you what's best for you.

   WOW!  Very nice.  There's some weight back there man!  If I'm not mistaken, it looks like that motor bracket is even with the bottom of the boat..........almost like a continuation of the hull?  If that's the case, I imagine it should offer a bit of additional buoyancy for those motors.  Can't wait to see a side shot of that baby sitting in the water.

The bracket is a full hull extension on the Ocean Pro... the 2016 hull's are 24'8" overall, and register that way w/ the Marine Board as a 24' boat.

Ordering electronics tonight... Katherine is lobbying for a heater instead of radar  :shrug9:  Picked up some rigging at nice prices at the boat show... have a very nice Miller Marine anchor nest waiting to go on the nose.

Re: needing a walk through transom... I kind of  wish it did.  For vertically challenged folks, it is quite a "straddle" getting over the thing.  On the other hand, there is a giant insulated fish box in the transom.  Room for at least a dozen Tuna!, with room for 8 or 10 more in the in-floor box.

You gotta get the heater. My wife is so happy with the heater in our new truck. (Even though the temps are in the 80's down here). She likes to have the heater just in case it gets cold someday.  :shrug9:

Besides, the fog seldom takes you by surprise. And if it does, she could help you navigate by standing on the bow with a flashlight and hand-held fog horn.  :shrug9:

My neighbor has a tin can with the full length hull that becomes a bracket- I've always admired that design for the elimination of the splashwell and the additional buoyancy provided by the bracket.  Very nice boat I'm sure you'll kill a lot of fish.  BTW, yes on the radar and heater.  You want to be safe, and if momma's not happy....

Looking sharp!  As for name's, I suggest the H.S. Thompson. :cha:

For now, a friends place in Newberg.  On the waiting list for covered storage in Scappoose, a mile or two from the marina.  We are planning to cash out of the Portland real estate market next year, and relocate to Scappoose/St. Helens area. 

The boat will fit in my driveway (I think)... but the truck will have to be parked on the street when it's home.

Just ordered electronics... I'm going to have to get a buddy to drill the first holes in the brand new boat  :facepalm:

Ordered electronics last night... going with a Raymarine A98 with the basic chirp CPT-100 transducer, and the Ray 18" open array radar.  Was tempted to wait on the new Quantum radar, but the open array was $400 less and is in stock right now.

Wondering why you're going with the open array vs the radome? Either way, a good choice with the Raymarine gear IMO! Have fun with the rigging!

Wrong terminology on my part... going with the RD418D radome (though the open arrays have a huge rebate on them right now).

What's all this talk about drilling. Let's light a torch probably a quicker way to make holes in somebody else's boat. I bet Steve tapes cardboard facsimiles everywhere and tapes drill holes in place before he starts drilling. Good luck with that measure twice cut once stuff. When I screw up it usually becomes a spot for a cupholder or mix up some thickened epoxy time.

Just take your boat over Bruce's to fix all the holes you didn't mean to drill!  :biggrin:
