Congratulations on the new (to you) boat!!  One naming suggestion I heard last night was Bananananafofana. 
I guess it takes a village to put one of these things together? 🤔

I didn't come up with it and I'm not going to implicate the guilty, but someone suggested, "Short Bus"

Is it too early to suggest “foolish suggestions”? Essentially choosing to name it after all of these ideas at the same time!

This has been fun to read, keep it up, although Baker has now won a race with his ultimate West River setup....  Keep the suggestions coming...

Banana Hammock is awesome, but I think I will be disappointed if the name isn't Monkey Warship!

,
Im jumping in to the naming fray

Rubber Ducky
Yellow Submarine
Water Taxi
Sea Horse
Hi Vis
Fool's Gold
Sea Bee
Tweety

or you could go with the dignified standards like Spindrift, Intrepid,Valiant etc.
or you could pick up a Polynesian name Lani Kai, Imi Loa, Imua etc.
or you could pick up famous large cat racers like Double Bullet,Sea Smoke,or as the the Narca builders called their 40 footer-Big Nacra


Or any combination of the above
Have fun
Ken
