Boats will face the direction opposite to the one you place it in.
For example, if I place a boat facing North and get in, it will paddle towards South instead.

I also note your facing is at right angles to both... if you put the boat north of the shore, and get on the boat, the boat faces south... YOU face East and have to turn "forward" to face south, then begin directing the boat.
I would think the player positioning would be a part of the same code, and having the player view position fixed at the same time as "boat placed backwards" would be useful. 🙂
