Dispensers are unable to deploy boats outside of water, unlike players. This is inconsistent.
Steps to reproduce
Set up a dispenser containing boats
Activate it
Position water beneath the block where the boat would land
Activate it again
Observation: In the absence of water, the dispenser drops the boat, whereas players can place the boat without issue,
Expectation: The dispenser should have the capability to place boats outside of water, akin to players' ability.

@unknown Yeah true, but the reason this is a bug rather than a feature request is because boats can be placed on ground, so why can't they be placed by dispensers too, the reason could be that the dispenser assumes that the boat cannot be placed on land and can only be placed on a body of water.
This issue acts as an inverse of MC-114111, where the reported behavior is that boats are dispensed when they cannot be placed, due to conditions not being met (there is no water).
