Skeletons & strays can't shoot entities that are in the same boat as them, but only when the boat is facing north, south, east, or west? Instead, the arrow only appears briefly behind the skeleton's head and makes the "twack" sound despite not hurting the player or sticking into any nearby blocks.
Same thing happens if you put a baby turtle in the boat with it, but that also makes the skeleton's arms look weird.
Orienting the boat northeast, northwest, southeast, or southwest seems to fix this (??)
Seems like unintended behavior since most mobs (including other bow-weilding ones - pillagers) can attack players from within boats.
How to reproduce:
1) Spawn a skeleton in a boat
2A) Board the boat and enter survival mode
2B) Put a baby turtle in there with it
(make sure you're aligned with either the X or Z axis)

isnt this good? tbh its possible to carry a skeleton in a boat and not get killed (dont ask me why would u do that)
@Bedwarer_ good point you could go on a romantic cruise with a skeleton. Honestly I was just combing thru the game to find if there was any weird behavior with boats so I could report it and feel like I'm helping
