I keep my boat too clean to hang a name like that on her. I also respect her too much.

I think the name reflects more on the Admiral's (ex-Admiral's?) attitude towards the boat. I once saw a boat named "The Other Woman". Reminds me of once a long time ago, when my ex-wife said, "You know, it's either me or the boat......"

wow. pretty sorry name.
just renamed my boat - NYBOR. (it is Robyn spelled backwards)
I was going to name her, "Bring it on Stupid Ocean", or "You call that WIND", but thought better of it.......

The boat is the name from the old movie "Cabin Boy" starring Chris Elliot (former SNL writer).

Boat names reflect upon their owners. That name, in this usage, actually repels me. I'm sorry, but it would be a struggle to be even polite.

What's the phrase, "if it wasn't for low class there'd be no class at all". That name dishonors the boat and IMHO disgraces the owner.

My first impression of that owner has already been made.

Whether it's accurate or fair is unfortunately, irrelevant.

There's a powerboat in my harbor named something similar: "Dirty Oar." The slip is right by the walkway where every passerby can see the name, children included. :cussing:
The owner must be a true piece of work (or a tool, as the kids these days would say...)
Don't know him (or her!)...don't care to, either.

my first boat was named "Break Wind" when we bought her. renamed her in short order. it was embarrassing to get on the VHF
