Steps to reproduce
Summon a bunch of minecarts in a line.
Summon a boat on top of the minecarts.
Ride the boat on top of the minecarts.
Expected result
The boat moves slowly because it is not in water.
Observed result
The boat moves quickly.
When a boat (any kind including chest boats) is on top of minecarts, the minecarts can support the boat and make it move as fast as on water. It only works when the carts are not on rails; placing rails under the minecarts slow the boat as on land.

I am requesting ownership because the report hasn't been updated in over a year. I have also attached a video of the issue.
Thank you for your report!

In this situation it seems the game treats the boat as being in air because it is not on a block.
