Why the fuss about boats?

I am new to Hay Day and see a lot of threads about the boats. Why all the fuss? It seems to me that the gold and experience offered are far lower than what I'd get through the truck, and especially through the roadside shop. Why should I spend so much of my resources just to fill the boat, when I can get so much better returns elsewhere?

Do the boat rewards improve as I level up or something?

Most of my focus has been on maximizing gold output to always be building the newest production buildings. I build expensive items when I log off for a while and sell them in bulk in the shop. I fill easy truck runs with cheap and quick builds, otherwise I delete them. I've loaded a few boats until I realized how cost ineffective it was.

I never have, and never will fuss over boats.. The simplest solution is always the easiest and best. If I can fill them, I do, and if I can't, it goes bye-byes in a blink. lol.

I guess it really depends on your goal. If your trying to get coins, its best to sale in the RSS. If you want XP its be to do boat orders, and truck orders. RSS doesnt give any XP for selling there.

Here's the thing about boats.

First there are several achievements connected to boats. The largest is boat score hunter three. It gives you fifty diamonds when you get to it and it takes 15000 boat points. There are more of course but that's the biggie.

Second. Boats pay about the same as the trucks in coins and XP but you also get boat points for the above achievements and it is a great way to clear up some barn space, which as you get higher sometimes is more valuable than cash/gold.

Third. Boats allow you to help others which is quite important to some folks. In addition to the warm fuzzy feeling, there is an achievment you can get for helping these people fill the boat.

Make more sense now? This game is different than so many others with a single goal. No matter what is important to you, whether it is leveling up, making cash, completing tasks or achievements or socializing with others, you can do it in hay day. Kinda cool huh?

Edit. Heaven forbid. I forgot one of the best things about boats. You get a voucher for each boat you complete. You only get vouchers with truck orders that use jewelry or metal bars. Vouchers are more valuable than diamonds for some because they can't be produced or purchased and are needed for pets, and some decorations and for special lures.

Typo, I guess, but trucks ask for jewellery and metal bars; boats do not :)

Yep typo. Actually brain hiccup. I'll fix it and then everyone will wonder what the heck you are talking about. Lol

LOL, Tigger that made me laugh so hard, ahahaha :D

I do boats for XP. While we can get some trucks orders with more XP, they often ask for several products I'm not ready to sell such as jam or candy.

Boats and trucks orders are the exit zone for zillions of products made within the game.
