After many attempts to break boats, such as dropping them from 250 blocks and sliding them along a long packed ice trail into a wall (and both), I have been completely unable to destroy boats to turn them into planks and sticks.
The boat can be destroyed with lava, however it just drops a boat.

What I'm stating is that the boats absolutely never break without the player to do so, and therefore converting boats to planks/sticks is impossible.
it is impossible, when i caught a boat on fire, it dropped a boat without a player doing so, it did not drop planks like in the 1.8 update, i wonder if this is actually intended.
Duplicates very likely MC-98160. In all of the other situations boats are, as far as I know, not supposed to drop planks and sticks.
unless the boats cannot be broken with a sword or the drops seem wrong, this is 99.9999% sure to be resolved as duplicate.
