Transom shots!

[drburke]

It's been a few years since I started a thread to see the transoms of members beautiful boats:
http://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?9541-Transom-shots&highlight=transom+shots

I would like to suggest an updated thread; please post pictures of your boats, and I will start it off myself.

(For those who don't know, reposado means "rested" or "repose", and is the term for 2-12 month aged tequila--because my boat was in Mexico and I *like* tequila). Sorry for the tilt: both the name and the boat are level--only me is listing.

I would appreciate any background about your chosen names as well.

Let the fun begin!

Thanks for the translation. I was guessing "repossessed" and wondering if that meant by the bank or by the devil.

I'm having "Ambrosia Mae" re-done this week. I'll post a shot afterwards.

Hi All,

It's amazing that out of the hundreds and hundreds of pictures of the boat, I could only find 2 of the transom.

The one on the trailer is my all time favorite stern shot and the one with the flag is when she arrived in Fairhaven from Fl in 2008.

Glittering Image was the name of a yacht in a novel I read about the 1920's.

After searching my photos I just realized I don't have any transom shots! This is the closest I have.

Superior Nights, because we love Lake Superior and seem to always end up there during the season

The Vineyard Girls in Newport Harbor last September. Beautiful 80 degree day. The shot was taken around dusk. We named her after my wife and two daughters love of Marthas Vineyard. We've been going there for a couple of weeks every summer for more than 20 years.

End Of the Line II has a story it didn't start as a name that Involved fishing REELly .

The first one was a project boat a 23' that was next to another boat that burned to the water line and set it on fire. It was a major rebuild and turned out to be just a warm up for #II.

So when I was trying to convince the wife about buying #1 she started saying o.k but thats it this is the end of the line No more projects and buying things It wasn't the first or second time since I have been doing stuff like that since I was a kid and seems like I still am? So she said it about 3 times in a few minutes and I said hey I have a great name for it and I will just add a fishing rod to it which I did.

When It was time for the Hatt just a few years later it was a Lot easier since it was the boat she wanted as long as I put a separate shower stall in it for her which I did.
The things we do for the Admiral's

When we bought our first "big" boat it was a Trojan named Enamorada. We were going to change the name but couldn't come up with anything better and then I found out what it meant......lovestruck. Perfect name as that was my reaction when I first stepped on the boat. Needless to say I love the name and Love my Hatteras even more than the Trojan...so we renamed the Hatteras. Of course we exercised the appropriate caution with a name changing and Christening ceremony.

Family has been in the Bar, Restaurant, and Banquet Hall Business since 1906 when my Great Grandfather started it. So because of the bar, my Father thought the name "After Hours" was a good fit.

When we saw her we thought we had no choice but to buy her as she was named this already. We had a dinghy called "Soft Shell Crab" (an inflatable) and our SeaDoo jet boat which is yellow was call SpongeBob. So the name seemed appropriate.

Used the new Invisilux to paint the name on mine.
