It was all Noah's Idea

Eva was named after Noah's love of the movie Wall.E. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, Eva is Wall.E's love crush. Very cute and the name is strangely fitting: Eva in latin means life-like (all boats acquire a personality/soul), Eva is a super strong bullet-proof zippy robot (I think this design is as 'bullet-proof' as they come, and as for zippy: I can hope), and she's a little spitfire (as I imagine most new boats are until their kinks are smoothed out).

I'm just thankful Noah wasn't obsessed by the movie Shrek : imagine a boat named Donkey...
