The boat's name is never mentioned

The boat in question is owned by Robert Doback, Dale's father, and it plays a pivotal role in the plot. Brennan and Dale, facing eviction from their parents' house unless they find jobs, decide to start an entertainment company called "Prestige Worldwide". To promote their new venture, they film a music video for their song "Boats 'N Hoes" on Robert's boat without his knowledge.

The "Boats 'N Hoes" video is memorable for its over-the-top ridiculousness and has become a pop culture phenomenon, inspiring memes, merchandise, and social media pages.

Despite the boat's central role in this key plot point, its name is never mentioned in the film. This lack of a name does not detract from the boat's significance, as it still serves as a catalyst for the story's development and provides a comedic backdrop for the stepbrothers' antics.
