I recently purchased a C250WK that was named. I have heard that it is very bad luck or tabu to change the name of a boat. What do you think?

Nonsense, It's your boat...your investment, your toy, your pride and joy! But if you superstitious there are rituals. Here is a web link on the subject. Good luck and take out extra boat insurance just in case

I recommend the [url="http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/rename.htm"]renaming ceremony [/url] mentioned above. You can never be too safe. However I also agree that you should have the name you want.
All of my boats have been and will be named “Peregrine”.

Underlined words are a <b><font color="red">HOT</font id="red"></b> link.
Click on the "Peregrine" icon.
