I saw a shrimp boat one time that had the wheel house aero (or hydro) dynamics of a brick. The name of the boat was "Breaking Wind." The name seemed apt.

I always wanted to name one "Cynical". Didn't want to offend Neptune with a change tho.
I'm not sure but indecision may or may not be my problem.

The funniest one was "Unsinkable".

I say that because as I was tooling by in a canal to deliver a boat back home, thats all I saw of the bridge sign boards. The rest was underwater.

There was a bigger Ocean Yacht named Flexible Flyer around here for years. That name too seemed fitting.

I don't have a picture of it, but one of may favourites is "Fog Ducker" for the obvious double entendre of being on a boat and not at work!

One of my friends, I've known him most of my life is named Brooke Tyler IV. In otherwords, he is Brooke the fourth.

His boat is named IV Play.

His wife hates calling ahead for slip reservations...

However, it is absolutely perfect.

Another friends boat we collectively named M.I.L.F. and he would actually answer to that when we hailed him on the radio.

For those of you who may be wondering what the initials stood for, it was really as simple as "Man I Love Fishing!"

Many years ago I saw a boat named "Fujimo", owned by a local guy, which I thought was a reference to a Japanese mountain or some such thing, but I knew the owner wasn't Japanese. I mentioned this to a guy who knew the owner and he explained the name...

Apparently the owner's wife was unhappy with the guy's insistance on buying the boat, and this being the last straw in their turbulent marriage filed for divorce.. The name actually stood for...

Patrick I saw a tow truck the other day here in Delray and the company is called Camel Towing. I did a double take on that one. http://cameltowingpalmbeach.com/

Then there's a plumber here in Delray called "Morning Thunder". At least these guys have a sense of humor about their jobs I suppose.

Well the absolute best one I've seen in my opinion was a Sportfisher name "Money Eater" . I think that says it all.

Then there was one like IRGuy mention above but the meaning was translated different by this owner, was "FUGIMO" , stood for "F*** You Jack I'm Moving On" .

To go along with Capt. Pat's song, years ago, my friend, god rest his sole, named his 31 Bertram, Pussy Cat. He wanted to leave off the last part of name but figured he would never get away with it.

There was or may be still is a boat in the marina at the foot of Palafox Street in Pensacola.....called the "Wet Dream"

Another in Orange Beach named "Ophelianibble"......I'm guessing the guys wife may have been named Ophelia???

A local guy named his boat "Whars Jane". Jo Ann and I laugh and argue about the way the name may have came about......I say that when he was ready to go fishing he always had to wait on Jane...Hence "Whars Jane". Jo Ann says that when he gets back from fishing and needing to clean the boat and the catch he is always saying "Whars Jane".......depends on ones point of view

This is a funny and an interesting post......

Bruce as always is way out front only he could point out the humor in someone else’s failure:

Come on I had the old snip snip after my third child and still named my first real boat a (B31 FBC) "Proud Cut" boy did that piss of my second and third wife's.

FYI A "Proud Cut" horse is one who used to sire the colts then got to old so they cut him but he still likes to get on top and give it the ol college try.

I really thought we would see some good old boy names from the South, but so far the East Coast is looking like a bright spot for "Stupid Name Calling" I am headed out for the local Yacht Basins to collect evidnce that will (I hope)prove once and for all that South has dumer names than any where else in this Boat Crazy Country.

One of my good friends has the last name of Tarr, his older brother had a boat he christened the "Tarrtanic", a good play I thought.

A subsequent boat he owned carried the apt moniker of "Wallet Buster", always brought a smile when seen for the first time.

One of my all time favorite names was on a very large yacht I saw in Stuart, FL - "Sorry Kids". Loved it... wife and I made sure to point it out to the kids.

A local gynecologist had a sailboat name "Papman" that had a Batman like symbol on the sail that was the silhouette of the anterior end of a woman in stirrups.

My ex-brother in law used to have a B35 named "Floating Interest".

One of the Faithful brought the "Fuzzy Snapper" to the UVII one time.

Other good one's I've seen are:

"Knot-a-Yacht" on a dingy

"Sea Roach"

"Red Tag" on the County's Building Inspector's boat.
