Our 18.5' Larson came with a name plastered on the sides: Nauti Buoys.

It was really huge font too and the color difference between bare hull and under the letters precluded us from removing it. Oh well.

I never slept on Your Mom...but I've ridden her pretty good a few times

Now THAT"S funny. Waaaaay below the belt, but funny nevertheless.

I never did get to ride Your Mom. I did race her across Lake Wissota though. She's got some pretty nice legs! I won't comment on the rack... :)

Our first boat, back in the mid 60's had a name. But we never named a boat after that. The practice seemed to disappear in the early 70's with lake boats anyway. Out on the ocean it is still popular, but the boats are bigger there. By the way our first boat caught fire in the back yard, so we thought naming any other boats after that might bring bad luck. I still have the boat I bought in 1970, plus my Bu.

I would say that is a great reason not to name your boat..

No name on any of my boats.

However, when I got my Hobie-Cat sail boat back in the early 80's (double hull, goes like stink) I wanted to name it "Passing Wind".... but my 1st wife said no. I explained that I would put "Passing" on the side of 1 hull, and "Wind" on the side of the other hull.

As this sailboat (that had been officially clocked per the manufacturer at 26 mph) zoomed past other boats on the lake, the side saying "Passing" kind of made sense. Conversely, people seeing the other side "Wind" would imagine this is a logical name for a sailboat that goes like the wind. Put them together, it "Goes like Stink"..... so = Passing Wind.

Got divorced, then grew up, and changed my mind on the flatulant naming business.

Still have the Hobie. Still goes like stink.

Just.... no names.
