Random Quote: Never approach a dock faster than you can afford to hit it.
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)

How about boat names that aren't funny? ones that we just see too many of?

30' Sea Ray - Poke A Loke - was named by my son who was three at the time. He used to walk around all day and say - Poke A Loke, Dink A Link, Poke A Loke, Dink A Link, etc............. had something to do with a nursery rhyme.
40' Sea Ray - Family settled on - Summer Delight - We used to live on the boat in the summer while going from Block Island to Martha's Vineyard, to Nantucket. Did that for about 6 years - best summers of our lives. Kids really enjoyed the life and the boat.
29' Hydra Sport - Team Finchaser - My son and I head up Team Finchaser and we now have our second Hydra Sport a 2007 2900 CC and it is going to be one wild fishing machine. Lot's of tournaments coming up this year !!!!!
There have been about about 7 others over the past twenty two years but these have given us the best memoies.
I think that this is a great thread. A lot of interesting names.

I saw a big offshore boat in the Indian River Inlet called "T!tt!es&Beer"
And last year at the White Marlin Open, in the midst of all the the the big money rigs, came a beat up 19' or so, old as heck CC called "fishin' mo fo"
Not the funniest name, but the timing was comical.
When I lived in Michigan there were two that stuck in my mind. 1) a fishing boat I would see in Frankfort Mi, had about 4 downriggers on it and the boats name was "Dragon Balz" The second one was a pleasure boat named "Phantom of the Aqua" kinda funny.
The funniest name i have thought of so far but havnt had put it on any of my boats yet is
"weekend bender"
So, coming into port goes like this:
This is the "weekend bender, over"
if you dont get it, say it out loud to yourself a few times.
Saw a penis boat named "Floatin Felony". Wanted to name mine C-Toe or C-Hair but haven't had the balls yet. Probably the best I ever saw was "Never Satisfied". Ha ha, oh yeah...a big pink penis boat named "Pink in the Middle".
Re: funniest boat name?
