Plaid Rocket Seat Cushion
To start things out, we all know how this may go down….. the dark rabbit hole of obscure references, Troy will no doubt post a girl in a Tartan and we are all back to normal after the last gasping of 2017. But what the heck, gotta kiss alotta frogs to find your Prince. Now, the plaid Rocket is getting close and will be in Florida for the Lake Dora show. Remember, we are looking forward beyond Winter now. We are on Florida time. 114ish Days! Anyway, back to plaid and Rockets. Couple things to consider in the naming.

1. It’s a Chris Craft Rocket
2. Its the oldest known Rocket out there. #004 or something like that

Will have White seams
3. It has a yellow Bottom and Green bilge
4. Its 17 feet and fast
5. Oh, almost forgot. HAS A PLAID INTERIOR!

Green Bilge

There it is
That’s it. Alan Johnson will be at Katzs Marina this week to slap your name on the back of this plaid sucker. Will it be your name?
Okay lets get this started, just spit balling here, running some names up the flagpole.

MFine, with all the pent up emotion regarding this boat, is that the best you can do?
Wudzgud
m-fine wants to really wants to call it BACON.
m-fine
NO WAY! Bacon doesn’t just taste fantastic, it also smells great, makes an awesome sizzling sound and LOOKS GOOD too! I could certainly see naming a 20’Custom or another attractive boat BACON, but this hideous mess would be more aply names “Spoiled Haggis”
Troy in ANE
OH YA! Bacon!
m-fine
Yes! I can’t think about it for any amount of time or with any clarity. It is so ugly it makes my head hurt.

why would you drag the arabian into this, arabian has some of the best lines of plastic boats, we were fortunate to have one growing up in the 70’s, what a great ski boat back then.
m-fine
The Arabian comment is an old WoodyBoater joke from the face off between Mike’s Arabian and Alex’s XK. It doesn’t represent my actual views on Arabians.
Wudzgud
M-fine sound like you have some issues with this boat.
m-fine
Not the boat, just the upholstery!
Tom
m-fine that’s why I called it FUGLY ! F$%^k&*G UGLY.
My mother always said “some people’s taste is only in their mouths.”
m-fine
Yes, it is fugly, well not totally. She is actually a nice boat, Butter Upholstery…
Troy in ANE
On that note how about just “Brown Acid”.

Good lord! What a fun day, Huge traffic spike and glad to see the community out for some fun. Of course we are going to play this out and make the big reveal once its lettered this week.
Flash
I think Scotch & Water wins
Jason
I love this string! I’ll maybe use the runner up name for D17-005 the next oldest rocket. The Spaceballs reference was the first to come to mind, however “Checkered Past” gets my vote.
