I need a break from my own code, so I'll redo yours:

mob/verb/Build_Boat()
   var/L = get_step(src,src.dir)
   if(istype(L,/turf/water))
      var/mob/Boats/B = new(L)
      B.owner = src.owner
      B.name = input("What shall you name thy boat?","Name Thy Boat")
      src << "Thy boat is completed, master!"
      return
   src << "Master, our boats only function on water!"
   return

That should work... Might want to test it first though :o)
I get a kick out of games where everyone calls you "master"...
If fact, it might be fun if you could select your own title :o)

mob/verb/Build_Boat()
   var/L = get_step(src,src.dir)
   if(istype(L,/turf/water))
      var/mob/Boats/B = new(L)
      B.owner = src.owner
      B.name = input("What shall you name thy boat?","Name Thy Boat")
      src << "Thy boat is completed, [src.title]!"
      return
   src << "[src.title], our boats only function on water!"
   return
src.title = Master, Lord, Mistress, Oh Great One, etc...

The main problem I see is you're telling it to create a boat, not in T, but in T.loc. T being a turf, this means, "the area in which T is located." If you want to create an object inside of something, be it obj, mob, or turf, all you have to do is specify the thing itself.
