The boat in Erud's crossing (the model you use now for both) was the model for both during beta. The new boat in Ocean of Tears appeared shortly after humans stopped having white sleeves, and that's the boat everyone loves and remembers.
A while ago I actually considered a hack for the boats involving custom zone objects (ala derision's method) with a PERLXS script attached to update the position of the object every 10ms or less. Just make a nice white block that travels along the boat path. You wouldn't have access to the deck below, but you'd have your solid boat and classically dangerous boat.
