This report requires an update. The issue extends beyond boat mounting; it resets momentum when initiating or ceasing control of any entity in any manner. For additional information, refer to MC-269105, marked as a duplicate of this report.
This can be used to hover in the air when falling down while entering and exiting a boat.
