Is there a trick to place a boat without adequate space?
Since returning to the game (1.8), it seems a change has been made to disallow the placement/spawning of a boat that would intersect with something (at the same height). This makes the construction of a (vertical) teleboater more difficult, needing to clear out blocks around the block upon which one desires to place a boat. Is there a way to spawn a boat in tight quarters like before, or is it now impossible to do so?
Update: Sand can intersect with a boat by block falling to there, but it seems only at the edge of the boat. Otherwise, the sand block will break upon contact (converting the sand into item drop form).
Best Answer
No it is now impossible to do so unfortunately. Although if you want to make it easier to get them into place you can do it with minecarts instead of boats and use rails, by doing this you only need a 1x2 instead of a 1x3 hole to fit them into place.

Can dispensers place boats?
Dispensers can now place boats and minecarts. Dispensers can now shoot the liquids inside water and lava buckets. Dispensers can now suck up liquids if activated again, filling up the buckets with the liquid dropped.How to get FREE RARE ITEMS!! (Tutorial) | Build a boat for Treasure ROBLOX
