Summary
As per the video, I cannot get into any empty boat placed before the 1.20 update until I have destroyed and replaced the boat.
Please note: this relates to empty boats which are seemingly behaving as if they have mobs in them. This is a separate bug/issue to the mob ejection one, although I recognise it may possibly be the result of one issue.
When right-clicking clicking a normal boat, nothing happens. When right-clicking a Boat with Chest, I open the chest instead of getting into the boat, regardless of whether I'm crouched or not. When I destroy the boat and replace it, I have no issues. Any new boats placed since 1.20.0 work fine (i.e. old boats from my Nether Hub ice road dispensers which are placed each time are all fine).
Expected behaviour
Right-click an empty Boat or Boat with Chest (which was placed before the 1.20 update) when not crouched and enter the Boat.
Actual behaviour
Right-click an empty Boat when not crouched with no effect. Right-click an empty Boat with Chest when not crouched and open the chest inventory. Boats seemingly behaving as if they contain a mob already even when they don't, until broken and replaced.
Steps to reproduce
Right-click an empty Boat or Boat with Chest which was placed before the 1.20 update.

I'm not convinced this is a duplicate of the issue that you've referenced (MCPE-169772). There are other duplicates on that ticket which do relate to mine, but MCPE-169772 relates to the mob ejection from boats issue, whereas mine concerns boats without any mobs in them. I realise the bugs may be the result of one issue, but they are not fundamentally the same behaviour or bug.
Thank you for your report!
