The lead is connected to the front of boat rather than center like Bedrock Edition.
I think the Bedrock Edition is more reasonable, because if the lead was attached to the front of boat, the boat should tilt downwards when suspended in the air instead of balancing.

I think it looks neater having the lead at the front part of the boat so it visually looks like it's connecting to the boat instead of floating above it, however, I can confirm.
