I own a couple of inflatables, a tiny foldable, car trunk capable dinghy with an 4 hp motor, and a mid sized trailerable RHIB (rigid hull inflatable boat). The dinghy is named cuinmeri (phonetic spelling of Queen Mary in Spanish) and the RIHB is called patchwork, because of all the patches it had before I retubed it. And yes, I’m a near boomer (early Xer) dad.
Patchwork before retubing:
Unsinkable 2 got me
Definitely the best.
To be fair though, for all we know unsinkable 1 didn’t sink but blew up or something.
It hit an iceberg.
My Dad’s sailboat was Passing Wind
Where’s “wet dream”?
Cirrhosis of the River is the best one on the list, hands down.
That’s the one I don’t get.
Cirrhosis is what happens to your liver if you drink too much
Thanks!
*Cirrhosis of the liver
These are all good but it isn’t even close.
Unsinkable II def top of the game.
I named my kayak Whoops, but put the letters on it upside down.
This would be even more epic if you do manage to flip it one day
I have flipped it lmao. Only like twice, but it was fuckin hilarious each time.
Myoobs ? I’m lost
It reads Whoops when you flip.
ahaaa ! I get it ! cheers
I worked for a marina when I was a
childteenager, and my favorite boat name was a sailboat namedC:[ESC]
“Damn, so the Unsinkable sank, eh? That sucks.”
“Not at all, she’s moored at the pier as we speak. I just wanted another one.”
“Oh. I thought there was a grim joke there.”
“Yeah, most people do, which itself is kind of a joke. Shrimp cocktail?”
“Can’t. Allergic to shellfish.”
“Damn, that sucks.”
They’re all great except the last one. The “Cirrhosis” one went over my head but I looked it up, it’s excellent. The last one, “aqua holic”, isn’t a dad joke unless I’m missing something.
Alcoholic?
They already said they owned a boat, so I assumed this was implied.
The “-holic” suffix is regularly used to mean addict. For example, workaholic. Yes, it originated from “alcoholic”, but it’s commonly used now. So the boat’s name just means “water addict”, there’s nothing punny about it.
Since aqua sounds a bit like alco, the implication is that the boat owner likes both water and booze
IMO that’s a stretch, they aren’t even close to homophones.
It’s a play on alcoholic
It would have been a play if it was named in the 1960’s.
Being an aquaholic can lead to cirrhosis of the river.
Pier pressure Is my favorite
