Boat Booster on boat already in the dock?

Does anyone know whether or not activating a boat booster card will fill crates for a boat already in the dock? What I'd like to do for the first boat is let the boat come in, fill everything but 2 crates and then let the card fill those. Will it work?

Am I right in assuming the card doesn't necessarily fill the crates of the items you most need filled? Like if I have a boat with Bacon & Eggs and Duck Feathers, is it smart enough to fill the Duck Feathers or is it just random?

I thought I had one of these boosters and was willing to try it :)

Yeah, I'm going to try it in a little bit so I'll report back. Just thought I'd check if it had been done already. :)

If you activate the booster whilst the boat is in the dock it will fill the crates

But will it fill the crate or crates if you have already partially filled the boat prior to activating the booster? I have 2 boat boosters that I plan on using and will test it out - when the boat task arrives :)

Oh, yay!!!!!!

Thanks all. I can confirm it too. Here's what I did:

Filled everything but 2 grape juice crates. This includes having the global community fill some of the other crates by placing an ad with crates flagged. Then I activated the card and it filled the remaining two crates.

I'm hoping on the next one it is smart enough to know to fill the lobster tails but we shall see! (and I'll guess not)

Just an update. On the next boat I had Bacon Pies, Veggie Lasagna, and Lobster Tails. It picked Bacon Pies and Lobster Tails to fill, so it does appear to be somewhat random as to what it fills when it gets to pick, but it could have been worse!

Thank you for volunteering as a Guinea Pig :)

I will definitely use this strategy with that booster, if I get one.

Indeed, like bacon pies and bacon pies :unsure:

I found one of these during the boat event, filling one automatically. It does indeed seem very random, sometimes it picks the harder crate; other times it does not.

Imagine getting a Wheat, Jam & Lobster boat...and the Wheat was filled automatically. XD
