The cost of the boat was cheaper than buying a house, so people would sail out into the sea to be 'safe' from someone trying to kill them.
Generally people used the technique similar to leveling melee skills in towns but there was always a work-around to killing people in towns. In downs you would kill someone macroing by dropping like 5 explosion potions on the ground around them, then throwing 1 in and teleporting out while a friend would loot the body.
Magic on the boat involved walking in front of the mast to cancel the spell.
I must have bought at least a dozen boats. I would park them somewhere secluded or near the mines/forests, then totally forget about it. By the time I got back, the boats had already decayed into nothingness, (or I forgot where I parked it).
I used to own a house on that little pirate island with NPCs you could kill. My house was situated on some weird boundary line such I could fire spells at people outside while in the safety of my own home.
