I have something called a "corn-a-gator" It is a corn on the cob holder
shaped like an aligator.

Search for "corn holders" for the part that sticks or screws into the corn
cob. Search for "corn dishes" for the boat-shaped dishes to hold the corn.
The latter may also bring up some sets of both.

Why not just by the corn "stickers" separately? They're
cheap and readily available.

Instead of the 2 prong kind, I'd suggest pampered chef corn cob nobs.
You can put them in the cob before boiling it so you don't have to
handle the hot corn. they stay in better & don't rust.

I don't know where you live, but corn holders are easily found
in grocery stores and dollar stores in the Philadelphia area
where I live. They're a very common item.

I don't know from boats, but I have some screw-in cob holders from
Pampered Chef. You screw them into the corn cob before cooking -- they
cool immediately when you pull the corn out of the water. I don't
bother with them.

In our house the 'stickers' are called 'corn thingies'. ;o)

I prefer the screw on ones but I've seen different models: 2 pronged, 1
barbed plastic prong (those are Tupperware and I really don't like them) &
screw-on. They're usually available at the dollar stores and the grocery
stores.
Now the ear-of-corn-shaped plates/containers I haven't seen in a while.
