Is an un-named boat really a boat, or just random flotsam?  ;-)
  My first car was a beat up old wreck with true personaliy, so it got a name. Since then, no car has had enough personality to warrant a name. But a boat is different.
  I think each boat's interaction with the sea and with its owner is unique, and certainly makes each boat worthy of a name, no matter its size. 
  But that's a marine tradition, which landubbers might not understand.  ;-b
  That said, I still have to name my new kayak...hmmmm....what paint goes well with hypalon...
