Boats beat out horse drawn carts by an insane amount.

It’s why trade hubs and major cities were practically always on a major river and/or in a favourable location for a port.

Yep, not having a bunch of your trade going to feeding and caring for your horses makes a huge difference.

Someone's never owned a boat.

There are 3 idioms that come to mind.

A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into.

A boat owner is only happy twice. When they buy a boat, and when they sell it.

"You don't want to buy a boat. What you want is a friend with a boat!"

A boat for personal use and a boat for trade use are two very different things.
