I have told myself the last 2 years that I was going to change the name before I put her in the water for the season, and I haven't done it. I would love some help, suggestions, ideas....

It is a 30' Sportcraft GLS (photos attached I hope)

It was owned by a private charter who had 2 boats... Thus currently it is names "Four Aces II" Part of my problem is that I really don't like the "II"

He themed the boats really well with a mural of 4 playing cards (all Aces) on the front that says "Hard to Beat" But, it is time to make her "mine" and name it this Spring.

Please give me some input. Thanks!

Matt,
naming a boat the RIGHT NAME is tough. I like your thought of getting other inputs. I've had four boats on Erie through the years, all but the last one got named. First three were I II III of same name. Never could come up with naming the fourth "IV" - just called it "JUNK" ! ha.
Perhaps playing off the original name, you might come up with something like "Second Hand"........with five cards showing a Royal Flush? (beats four aces)
Or something like "Five Aces".....adding another card to the mural of four aces?
You could always go with naming it after a wife, daughter, ?? Might give some thought to what interests you........like, there are plenty of themes in Jimmy Buffet songs, Pat Dailey, and ideas from other areas such as your hobbies....hunting, ???...... could go with traditional naming after a girl/wife?
I'm sure you'll get some good ones here.
