Still trying to decide. I have 2 daughters and the oldest name starts with M and the younger one starts with E. I was thinking ME TIME.
That's pretty cool! Maybe a dot in between M•E Time so it's specific...but they'll appreciate it. My daughter Olivia does and loves telling the story about our boat name!

My Grandmother on my fathers side came to Arizona as a very little girl in a covered wagon in the late 1800's. If you count her as a native, my grandkids are 5th generation Arizona Native.
My ancestors arrived in Chicago in the late 1700's and I lived longer in Chicago than anywhere in my life, so I can claim to be a 6th generation Chicagoan. Our family tomb is the only grave left in Lincoln Park (the Couch Mausoleum).

For anyone curious to read the history of the tomb/family:

https://chicagohistorytoday.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/couch-tomb-lincoln-park-chicago/

My father at one time looked into getting the paperwork completed to open the tomb to lay to rest (pardon the pun) the questions around who is actually buried inside.....but the paperwork was just too much.

Not many people can claim to be 6th generation Chicagoans! (Go Cubbies!)

Love it! My boat is named 'Ruby Jane' after my two girls' middle names. They act like she is part of the family...

The one downside to the Yamis is no big fat transom to mount a name on... all good tho, we settled on a custom Seadek swimstep from JetBoatPilot and like it even more...
IMG_0155.JPG For those of you wondering about the spelling, my wife's name is Becky, and of course it's hard for your spouse to object to a boat when it's named after her... that and apparently she didn't think "sinking feeling" would be all that funny lol

Wifey and I have different schedules with different days off. The only time we get to enjoy the boat together is when one of us is

Anyone know the dimension on the 2017 Ar240 swimdeck where the boat name goes? Trying figure out the size (letter height) to use. I have not taken delivery yet to measure.

I used 4 inch lettering on mine. As you can see there is plenty of room to go larger if you use the sides of the grab handle

I was looking to see what size anyone with a 2011, 2012, 2013 AR240 used? I saw some pictures but no sizes, anyone know what size they used? I would just measure but the boat is unavailable right now. ;)

My wife and I never leave the wall without a coffee in hand...so we named the boat the "Coffee Run"

Just got the vinyl installed yesterday!
