Boat rule
Jerb322, 
Should be “Wood Knot”…
Hadriscus, Those are excellent. Can somebody explain “Fishizzle” to me ? it’s the only one I don’t get
SquiffSquiff, This + ‘fish’
Hadriscus, thanks !
Evotech, (edited ) Like millennials naming their wifi

Some would consider having specialized license plates as naming their cars.
Hadriscus, They’re illegal in France,… frankly I find this sad… pretty sure I could come up with some cool dad joke to place there
CosmicCleric, They’re illegal in France,… frankly I find this sad…
That’s too bad. Why were they declared illegal?
Hadriscus, I have no idea, good question.
dev_null, I guess you just can’t get one, not illegal. Why would they be declared illegal, the government can just choose to not issue them.
CosmicCleric, Why would they be declared illegal, the government can just choose to not issue them.
You’d have to ask @Hadriscus why they are illegal in France.
Hadriscus, I don’t know why, I’d say it’s likely a matter of legibility. I looked it up and the only wiggle room you have is the framing, the back material (either steel or plexiglas) and whether it’s written on 1 or 2 lines.
dev_null, Yeah we are in their comment thread
SomeAmateur, Saw one on the way home today “Bow Movement”
invisiblegorilla, I saw a cruise ship once called Costa Fortuna
graeghos_714, Mine was a compilation of my wife and daughter’s name; Elisae and as a nod to my Norwegian heritage it was the Norse Elisae. It was only a 22’ though
Slovene, It’s not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean.
dan, 
small craft advisory
CosmicCleric, Avast ye scallywag!
graeghos_714, Michigander so it was all in the Great Lakes or smaller bodies of water. It was mostly a fishing boat
JimmyChanga, Bouyancé
shalafi, Friend of a friend had “Sail Hatin”. Best I’ve heard yet.
Hadriscus, Magnificent !
Kraven_the_Hunter, I really like ‘Unsinkable II’. It’s got layers.
TheGiantKorean, 
Like an ogre.
marcos, Like cool sedimentary rocks.
DogWater, Or an onion
Throw_away_migrator, What about a parfait? Everybody likes a parfait!

abbadon420, “Thewofedoesntknow” I feel like that’s all what this sport is about. And old, unhappy men whitewashing their illegal money
