Will the boat on the teaser thumbnail be a skin or a new craft, or even a new mob spawning boat??

Looks like a lot of artwork went into it. Looks sturdy. 

                                                 

The little details in the center, the quadrants and the edges throw me off enough to suggest that this might be a specialty boat. 

To add, this art is so simple, yet so appealing. 

I'd love a theme like this to be added to stone pillars and stone walls. Something that fits this sort of theme.

I was thinking it was going to be a sturdier boat made from the normal recipe, with 4 planks

Normal boats recipe changed to 16 logs and no longer requiring prototyping, like in the waterlogged beta.

Grass rafts would still be available though, as an alternative

[ShadowDuelist]

Im hoping they make a sturdier and much larger boat at some point, to be able to set a moving mini base that doesn’t look like a hoarder’s storage room.

[chirsg]

I'd rather have a boat so small, you can barely fit on it.

 

[Maxposting]

why not both of the above

Maybe they reworked how boats looked.

Ngl current basic skins look kinda weird. Or maybe that is a trapdoor in the middle for fishing?

I really feel like it's gonna replace the default boat for some reason, and the old one probably will become a skin with some changes probably.

I hope this boat has like storage part or something

I totally called this sometime back ago, and I for one will be very sad if it ends up just being a skin.. something like this would have GREAT gameplay purposes, I could put all the stuff on the deck of my boat in this built in storage space, meaning I don’t need to build chests on the boat or leave the items laying around on the deck of the boat.. 

Im not sure if PC shares the same problem as Xbox but if there’s loose items on the deck of a boat it can make it hard to perform basic boating functions without trying to pick up or interact with the loose resources on deck.

This would solve that.. AND would probably keep items stored down there safe from pirate monkeys robbing you blind, which would obviously mean Klei could Un-Nerf monkey raids.

But, I’m going to guess this is just a fancy skin… *sigh*

Some good guesses had been made

Heya

Nice

Rework or upgrade to current boats?

The center bit looks like it's intended to accept boat kit structures. Perhaps all of them at the same time?

Personally, I'm hoping this is a rework to the current boats to make them modular instead of moving platforms to place literally anything onto. Limiting the acceptable structure spots to only one structure per quadrant, while all of the boat kit structures are squeezed into the middle section would alleviate several gripes I have about current boats.

What we do know is that anything above Diogo's comment can possibly be confirmed for the boats.

 

Maybe the thing in the middle is for storage? Maybe it is a boat re-design or skin? Maybe its a fishing boat? Those are the possile answers

[Queron81]

As the (new?) boat isn't round, maybe other boats of this type could be attached, so the boat can become bigger. Something like this:

The red marked areas could be filled with the deck.

Поскольку (новая ?) лодка не круглая, возможно, можно было бы прикрепить другие лодки этого типа, чтобы лодка стала больше. Что-то вроде этого:

Отмеченные красным области могут быть заполнены колодой.

This would be one of the best innovations

Thats kinda what boat magnets tried to do

Yes, but they work very poorly with them.

[lowercase skye]

Why would it be a skin? Skins don't come out until an update goes live, it would be really strange to put a skin in a teaser image for a beta if it won't even exist in that beta.

[Uedo]

Isn't obvious that its a boat wheel that'll pop up out of the middle, it'll either replace the boat or be an upgrade - i'm guessing replacing.

[-Variant]

I really hope it's not a redesign of the current one. I love the current one!

I don't think it is, though. I'm expecting a storage boat!

Great idea/prediction.

[Capybara007]

This doesnt have to do with boats but i hope at some point they change how structure placement works, its mildly annoying on land but on boats it really feels like you are extremely limited to the ammount of stuff you can build on boats

Moonquay update fixed this because you can have pretty much infinite boats, and it was a great fix for me at least, but still

Structures have less limiting factor when on boats

Or

New boat recipe that is simply way bigger

Could instead of storage, work as hamlet houses? Being larger inside, where we can build stuff, and let the outside just for sails, and boat control stuff.

Yeah I thinking of have a lower deck like a pirate ship to buildings and stuff
