that top one is called 'plenty of money'
(although this may be ok for you as i don't know your particular financial situation
)
and as for how that boat is propped up, it will have a very low centre of mass and thus it is very stable also the wooden blocks are almost leaning in on the boat i think and this is a pretty stable way of supporting it. i think this is right but don't quote me on it
Cheers Ed

I think that's the bigger boat that Chief Brody was hoping for in Jaws.

I can't help you I'm afraid, but I'd like to say that I LOVE my boat, unfortunately it's off the water at the moment and in need of major repairs which will be very expensive, so hasn't been used for a couple of years, but there are very few things I enjoy more than getting out on the water, whether it's a quick trip to the pub or a spot of fishing or a longer trip around the islands, it's all wonderful. Here's a couple of pics for you.
This is my rib when she didn't need a ton of stuff doing.
Here's one of a cold winters day, my wife in charge of things.
Last one just to show a bit of our coastline

The name is linked to the registered number of the boat. It can be changed - but I seem to remember it costs and it is a bit a hassle.

I don't know anything about the OP's boat TBH, but I do know what boat stands for in terms of ownership costs............

Nothing. However it is rumoured to be extremely bad luck to change the name of a ship.

Although, if you look at the back end of commercial ships, you will notice a good number of them have been renamed. The old name will be painted out, but still visible in raised relief. I presume the old name does not fit the new owners naming conventions / style.

It will only be registered if it's used commercially (fishing, cargo, whatever) in which case it will get an IMO number and...well..you really don't need to go there, rules and regulations..ugh Stick to it being a leisure craft. You can call it whatever you want and change it's name to whatever you want. There is some stuff about length/tonnage/engine power involved, but everything I've ever worked on has been well into 'commercial' so never concerned me.
Changing commercial craft names happens all the time when changing owners. Can't say its something I've ever been superstitious about, the crews involved tend to be more concerned if they still have a job afterwards.

Nothing wrong with a few bits of wood holding it up

You better tell that to every commercial ship owner, it is a standard clause in the Sale Form that the name of the ship must be changed by the new owner. Most commercial ships go through half a dozen names/owners in a life time
