Water appears to be in Boats with Ray Tracing turned on (LISTEN IN KNOWN ISSUES))
Water appears to be in boat which is a visual glitch considering water is not inside boats with ray tracing turned off.
Here I attach a few images to make it crystal clear:
Ray tracing off:

ray tracing on:

and also Obviously Removing water texture does not remove it from boat, it just makes water transparent but you still see water reflection & caustics in boats.
Edit:
Bug is listed in known issues.
