I use to fill all boat orders that I had, now I am very selective
I am level 20 with 51326 coins. I have all the machines and animals allowed for my level except the dog which just became available. I want to know is too early to get the boat? I wanted to get it at level 16 or 17 I forgot which it became available but thought it would be too hard to deal with. Now from reading your previous posts I'm thinking it was a mistake to do so as it sounds the higher up you get the harder it becomes to fill the boats.
Get the dock. You can just cast away a boat if you think it'll be too difficult or if the orders are not reasonable.
The captain achievements maybe be more difficult now than before the town, but having a boat allows you to participate in events and get vouchers so you can buy pets and make lures for the fish events. :)
My last few boats have been awful, the worst asked for cheesecake, raspberry jam, and cream cake. They keep asking for cakes, ice cream, and jam for me lately, its getting irritating having to turn them all away when I want some more vouchers. What happened to crops, sweaters, and quick easy things, I miss those. :(
The boat early on is great, at least the orders for me were super easy. I don't think I opened it when it first unlocked either, but I wish I had. Plus, it gives you something else to do besides truck orders (not to mention vouchers).
Now in my mid-40s I have to say that the boat isn't as fun anymore. I send off more than I fill and it used to be the opposite.
Oh, and if you want the Captain achievements it's much easier to get them done at low levels.

Had this one two days ago. After I picked my jaw up off the floor I sent it on its way.
That belongs to the Hall of Fame of Evil boats (with the triple sugar, triple jam and the triple fish-lobtster ones)! Plus now I'm convinced that even if you dared to fill that monstrosity, they next boat could very well ask for, say, feta salads, fish soups and pizzas.
The last time I filled a boat that ONLY asked for white sugar and two other forgettable items, the next boat asked me again for white sugars. And I filled it just because I needed 3 more boats to finish the event and I had already dismissed almost half of the boats, so the time was running out.
I have a no dairy-no sugars-no jams-no fish and no lobster tails policy. Now my policy also includes any products that need those ingredients plus juices (I have just enough juices for the town), so I consider myself lucky when I can fill 2 or 3 boats per week.
At my current rhythm, it's possible that I'll get Helter Smelter III before Boat Score Hunter III :(
I like getting that kind of boat. Of course, I wouldn't load it :rolleyes:. But I'd prefer to refuse a boat for 3 good reasons and then get the good boats unmixed, like a crops-and-eggs or a crops-and-woolies boat. Better than boats with dairy and woolies mixed, where you never know if you should invest the cheese, just to finally load those awful woolies, or refuse it to save your cheese and then have those woolies fill your barn.
happy farming
