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.
I was thinking about doing something similar, I'm just not good enough. Simulating a deck/walls out of doors or something invisible and solid, that would path with the boat. People said it was too crazy. :P

P.S. white sleeves ftw.
