Ya, I understand it is from Boat-USs request for vinyl lettering, so will be some subset of the actual documented vessels. To my understanding, States do not collect a boat Name for boats only registered in the state. Does anyone know if there is a resource that pulled from the USCG vessel name database? I am sure the data exists, just have not seen it in a accessible form before J -al- From: Rich Gano [mailto:richgano@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2011 3:21 PM To: Al Thomason Cc: Trawlers-and-Trawlering Subject: RE: Boat name popularity Thanks, AL. Interesting. Obsession seems to be passi nowadays. I wonder if this info is based solely on BoatUS own graphics request data? I am guessing the USCG's documentation list would be bigger and have a running tally vice a year-to-year summary. But collated state data would be the best. Just the statistician in me..... -----Original Message----- From: Al Thomason [mailto:thomason.al@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2011 12:17 PM To: 'Rich Gano'; 'Trawlers-and-Trawlering' Subject: RE: Boat name popularity Here you so: http://www.boatus.com/boatgraphics/names_top10.asp -al-

If you do a coast guard search of the documented name about 150 boats are named this. With the large number of private boats out there I would not consider this a "popular" name.........
