I renamed my M15. I kept the name of my M17 even though I wasn't a game if it when I bought the boat, but what I immediately began to call her - she told me what she wanted. What calls to you?  How do you refer to the boat? If you rename be sure to follow these instructions - https://48north.com/1987/06/01/tbt-vigors-interdenominational-boat-denaming-... :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/
