Top Boat Names

Proper names of ships and other vessels should be italicized just as titles are. Keep in mind that although ship (or vessel) names should appear in italics, prefixes such as U.S.S. or H.M.S. should not. However, you don’t need to italicize brand names like Boeing or Amtrak.

Names of ships, as well as names of aircraft and spacecraft, are italicized in MLA style. If the name has a prefix, such as USS or HMS, do not italicize the prefix and do not punctuate the prefix with periods.

In most places, there are no regulations prohibiting boaters from giving their vessels the same name as other boats. In the U.S., boats must have unique hull ID numbers. But this increases the chances of confusion when you meet your boat’s namesake on the airwaves.

Most boats have the name on both sides and the transom. Should I put the name of my boat on both sides, or just one side? Both sides, Port and Starboard, midships or Bow. Make sure that your lettering does not interfere with the registration numbers at all.

7 Tips for Naming Your Boat

1. Boat names should be kept very brief—usually to a single word or two, and on rare occasions three words.
2. Traditionally, naming a boat after a special woman in your life was considered appropriate.
3. Boat names that reflect your profession and/or a hobby you’re passionate about are common.

Why name a boat It’s tradition, and it’s luck. Boat naming started over a thousand years ago, when sailors named vessels after gods, goddesses or saints hoping to bring good fortune to their travels. The wrong name was the difference between good luck and being lost at sea.

T/T stands for “Tender To” as the tender to a larger vessel, ie..my last boat was a Grand Banks named the “Lazy Lady”, my inflatable was the T/T Lazy Lady.

Copper oxide has a reddish tinge, thus giving the paint it’s much famous red colour. That is why ships are painted red below the hull. Tri-Butyl Tin(TBT) had been mainly used as a primary toxin against the growth of marine organisms on the ship’s hull even a few years back.

Titanic, in full Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic, British luxury passenger liner that sank on April 14–15, 1912, during its maiden voyage, en route to New York City from Southampton, England, killing about 1,500 (see Researcher’s Note: Titanic) passengers and ship personnel.

In this case, about 1000 watts RMS, SSL’s website rates it at 1250 RMS.

Let’s say they are mounted in the same box, the higher rms sub can handle more power so therefore, should be louder (depending on sensitivity).

Root mean square or simply RMS watts refers to continuous power handling of a speaker or a subwoofer or how much continuous power an amplifier can output. RMS values are usually lower than peak watts ratings, but they represent what a unit is truly capable of handling.

Whippet. And wide open you could be making your amp output more than the rated RMS power into the minimum impedance. As a guideline, if you have a standard “500 watt” amp you actually only have an amp rated RMS of about 225-300 watts.

Sample Amplifier Power Rating Chart:

How loud is a 500 watt speaker? All right. Those five hundred watts can be electrical. If they are really, really 500 W (rms) the speaker is really powerful.

500 watts rms is enough for daily driving and listening but thats just me. i also hear that a 10 will provide tighter and more accurate bass while the 12 will play lower bass more efficiently.

The higher the dB number, the louder the speaker. As mentioned earlier, SPL is expressed in terms of decibels (dB). Often SPL and dB, are used interchangeably, which is confusing….What’s the Impact of Increasing Power Output?

If you like loud uncompressed music and your speakers are 90dB efficient, 200 Watts is likely plenty of power for you. If you only listen to light classical, jazz and don’t expect them to rock the house, 50 Watts is adequate. Higher efficiency speakers, like horns, take very few Watts.

For most people, 50 watts will be more than enough, and Denon’s least expensive receiver, the AVR-1513, is rated at 110 watts per channel. Those speakers are extremely sensitive, they’re rated at 101dB @ 2.83V, so they can play stupid-loud with a handful of watts.

More bass does not necessarily mean better bass. The power is determined by the wattage of the subwoofer in question, where a higher wattage demonstrates a more powerful subwoofer. Just remember: A 500-watt subwoofer doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be played five times louder than a 100-watt subwoofer.

When it comes to “volume,” many musicians only consider the amplifier’s power or wattage rating, and in general, more watts does mean “louder.” But while wattage is an important consideration, the efficiency of the speaker(s) that are connected to the amplifier are also an important factor in the loudness equation.

20 watts would achieve a bit more than 95 dB at that distance. That’s pretty loud. But not loud enough to be like a movie theater. It would take about 200 watts to raise the level to 105 dB.

A 100W amp, will usually sound around 2 times louder than a 10W amp, if they have the same speaker size and they’re both either tube or solid state. A tube amp will normally sound twice as loud as a solid state amp, if they have the same wattage and speaker size.

1000w: Which is Faster? The difference between the 500 watts and the 1000 Watts motor is the power. The 1000-watt engine will give you more energy to easily reach top speed and effortlessly uphill than the 500 watts motor. If you will be doing a lot of uphill riding, then the more powerful motor would be sufficient.
