Maybe next time you can move the boat and place something else over the nest, like a wooden crate propped up with bricks or rocks. She must have thought under the boat her eggs would be safe from mean predators.
Yes, birds are "picky" about their nests & their young & the like. We, too, found a nest in a weird place a couple of years ago. We didn't know what to do so we called our vet (I know... but we didn't really know who else to call). She told us not to mess with it at all, even if that was distressing to us (which it was). So we left it alone & it all turned out OK.
