Took a charter out of Hattera last year named the "Flatliner", the oldest, smallest and most beat up of the fleet. Put us on fish when no one else was catching (tuna, dolfin). The boat blew the single deisel on the way in and had to get towed. Name sort of fit the boat.
Have to double up on this, it just occurred to me I was on the "Bottom Bouncer", a 42 ft. Hat out of Ft. Peirce when it grounded hard on a reef in Everglades National Park with 5 firearms aboard (felony illegal in a National Park). Needless to say, 20 hours later the park Rangers were not real happy with capt. chaos and his bottom boucing reef destroyer armed to the hilt (AK-47, saltwater shotgun, 3 sidearms). Fitting name again!

I did not intend for my boat name to be funny but it ended up that way.
“MY SANITY” is my 2005 41 POS no my bad 41 Luhrs convertible. This boat has done nothing but make me loose my sanity. It was just deemed unfit for its intended use by a naval architect.
