I shall.  Ball is in the owners court.  Hopefully we'll know in the next couple of days what direction this thing is headed.

@TBB if you're ever in the DC area we'll make that happen.

Its a very nice hobby to ride a boat but its also costs a lot of money just to run it.

i have only a small pontoon boat with 60 hp outboard, .

sucks 4000$ cdn a year .. with yours 45 feet wow you need a good budget!!

Gaz , maintenance, marina  fees , storage fees , insurance etc..

BUT its so good to cruise on water, its a freedom feeling!!

@SGTSmeg Do have to get pilot lessons in USA to ride this big???

in Canada over 15meters 45  feet you need to have a navigator/pilot license .

No captains license required unless you are chartering for money and you are under certain tonnage.

Some insurance companies will require captains sign-off, especially if you are jumping into a much larger vessel (which we are) or are first time boaters jumping into a large vessel.

I have received three quotes from insurance companies and none are requiring captains training to move up, however, the captain that has been helping with our sea trials on the past two boats is a close friend and will gladly ride along and provide guidance if necessary.  My wife and I have been boating since the early 1980's.  We are well versed in navigating the river (and beyond), it will just help with some of the onboard systems and how they integrate with each other as much as anything.

Another name: Flying Dutchman. If you suddenly disappear from the forums, we'll email your folks.

Sellers have countered with a decent offer.

We are still waiting on the compression check and oil sample results, but that may not be until next week.

If they all look good, we'll likely sign the deal

"FLOATS MY BOAT"

"TIPS & SLIPS"

"FREEBIRD"

renaming a boat is considered bad luck

My son lives in DC - get the beer and the barbi ready!!!!!

How’s about calling her “Second Love” or “Baby Girl” or “Our Baby Girl” or “Our Girl”

It’s obviously a love both you and the Mrs enjoy so much.

I think a good Lawyer will say the Mrs will OWN 50% hence the “Our” in my suggestions. 
 

The more I look at those names I’m liking the OUR part.

Cheers

Well I'll take my chances.

It's currently called "Buzzed Gobbler" which is just plain stupid.  But I am sure it had special meaning to the current owners LOL

Compression test has come back okay.  All cylinders on both engines are within 90% of spec of 150psi ranging from 135psi to 150psi

Just waiting in the oil analysis to come in.

lol @SGTSmeg  HMS Sméagol 

[rexbowan]

Wow! Nice yacht. How about "Floaty" or "Money-pit". lol

[Smeggie]

Thanks for all of the ideas.

We have decided on the name "Cool Change" for the boat if the deal goes through.

Inspired by the song "Cool Change" by the Little River Band...most of you young whipersnappers wouldn't have a clue....lol

We have bounced many of your ideas off one another and I appreciate all your input.

So now we wait....for the oil samples to come in.

Great suggestion, and one of my wife's favorites.  Although I have not read the book my wife brought this up several times.

In the UK we have a famous longbow maker called that, bet he loved his parents

Why not just call it Fish Finder, or Viagra?
