No name manifold
When we installed the used H from Dave VanNess we had to get a new manifold, the one on the older H was a slight different style. Remember Stinky is the 25th Barrel back made, so she has some old stuff, including that dreadful Aluminum Head. But the new manifold came sans a Chris Craft Logo in the metal. WHAT? Well, as it turns out this is kinda a common thing. Back in the day a model K was a kinda universal engine. So manifolds where made with no logo. Kinda cool. There is a plate that goes there. BUT, I am thinking why not name the engine, and put some cool lettering in that area. Like “Grease Slapper”, Or “Stinkerbelle”, kinda fits the rat image. So today, I need your help. She needs a name. Have you named your engine?

Vintage name

Fits the image
As you can see, I have gotten to know the Engine rather intimately! Yikes.

What about “Boat the Blue”. It has a nice ring to it!

Never having smelled the boat but reading a lot about it’s infamous odor, maybe “Hauling Ass” fits.

I think the countdown clock is way off. Pre-events are more like 5 days away, and I won’t be there to get the party really started until a week from Thursday.
Greg Lewandowski
Pre event welcome party is Sunday night. Not sure how the WoodyBoater count down clock is calibrated. I think Matt is anxious to get the party started. Woohoo!!

As it’s a nice smooth six, how about “Slinky” to rhyme with “Stinky”?

Its more like the foundry didn’t press the Chris Craft plate into the sand.
I’ve had K manifolds were Chris Craft is upside down.

Matt,
With your luck….
“Now What” should do.
Matt
Thanks so much for your ideas. Fun stuff. I belly laughed all day! Here are some of my faves. The thing to remember as part of the choice is its an engine, and should have an engine style name. Some of the names were great boat names. Here are the faves.
Gas Pass Special
Gas Passer
Mighty Mouse
Reedville Rocket
Special K, which is obvious I am not sure why that wasnt brought up sooner.
But if the engine was named in 1937 Not sure Special K was a thing? Mighty Mouse was, Gas Passer is Rat Rod like and fits the theme of stinky so well.
Jim Staib
Everything I read says it’s an H. Is it an H or a K?
Special K is a Pre-War 25′ Sportsman. Probably why it is on your brain.
Matt
How the name looks is part of the art of it
Matt
The special adds a cool effect
Matt
Cool name, but maybe to local. Love the Rocket.
