I guess the sites soft ware edited my post. Sorry Wiley, no disrespect intended. but the name was from a PG rated movie. They show it all the the time on Spike and during James Bond festivals on all channels - from the movie Goldfinger - they don't edit that.
I was going to mention Ahoy Vey also. I wanted to steal it but my wife wouldn't let me. I also wanted to name my boat "Happy Clam" but my wife wouldn't let me. Are you seeing a pattern? To this day, five years later, my boat sits, lonely and nameless because we can't agree on a name. Good thing I won the arguments with our kids names or they could be running around with no names also.
Oh yeah, down the intracoastal from me there is/was the Frayed Knot (a very funny joke) and there's a sailboat called the E-Ticket, which old time floridians will recognize as a reference to the cool rides at Disney in the 70's, when you needed tickets to get on the rides and the E was for the top rides, like Space Mountain. Not that funny, but definitely witty.
Saw "Good Screws" on a 50 footer that passed me at marker 55 last year.It had 3 great looking ladies on it.They were from NY and stopped and asked what i was catching.I had just hauled in a nice red.The Capt was an old fart.Loaded no doubt!!!!
there was a west coast 1 ton ocean racer called FUJIMO- story goes that the owners wife told him if he got another boat, it was over...
FUJIMO = F*#k yoU Jane, I'm Moving Out
A few years ago, My apprentice and his buddy Salvaged a 16' Whaler after a storm, added a 150 merc and named it the 'STUNT MAGGOT'
an old boss let his 6 year old daugther named the boat, and she came up with "Go Fish"
One of my clients was a minister, and named his sailboat "spirit borne' which is a good pun, as the greek root for spirit also means wind.
up on the gold coast of my island, there was a boat named 'Oh Baby' which was funny when someone was hailing it on the VHF (oh baby Oh Baby Oh Baby)
