I think what is meant by Sam is that if Frodo tries to go without him, he will 'knock holes in the boats' so that Frodo cannot use ANY of them to escape.

Frodo is joking with him in his reply - saying that what he should do is leave one boat for the two of them to travel in.

Sam then understands that Frodo is going to let him come with him, so there is no need to 'knock' holes in the any of the boats.
