Once there, open the inventory and find that folder. Your boat will be in there, with another "box" icon except its not a box, it's the actual boat. Drag that item onto the water. 

This was the problem. My friend showed me what was wrong.

Inside the box, there are at least fifteen items, all with virtually identical names to the purchased item - many of which I never have to do anything with.

Only ONE of the items is the actual boat. I had to scroll down to find the specific item and rez THAT one item.

Thanks all.

How are you trying to open it?  Right click and select Open?

Yes. Is there another way?

 

This is what I get hen I click Open:

Also, some vehicles have two parts: a rezzable vehicle that does the actual moving around, and a wearable part that provides all the visuals. With these you rez the vehicle part and sit on it and wear the visual part. The vehicle part triggers an animation that locks your avatar and its worn attachment into place.

Yes. There are some Weapons that appear in a separate box. Sandbox Island doesn't allow weapons. I wondered if that was the problem.

 

So, the next thing to try is a location where I am allowed to rez objects. I don't know any.

Based on this, I'm assuming that it is not a "wearable" boat and that you do need to actually rez it and then sit in it -- though my assumption may be wrong.

 

It could just be that you are not dragging it to a location far enough from your body and so it thinks that you are trying to wear the box.  When you drag it from inventory, make sure to drag the cursor to a spot on the ground that is definitely away from your body.

I am able to set it on the ground. The problem comes when I try Open it. The only options are adding to my outfit or replacing it.

Some vehicles are wearable instead of being ones that you rez. Those vehicles are great for using in situations where you can't rez objects. You might try going to a water rez zone and adding the boat to your outfit and see if that works.

ETA: Just to try to not be confusing, you do not HAVE to go to a rez zone if it is actually a wearable boat. But you might want to go there anyway in case it turns out that the boat is meant to be rezzed.  

Yes, which is why I went to Sandbox Island. This was the suggestion for trying out vehicles. It doesn't work.

I'm a Basic Level newbie who has been gifted with some Lindens by a friend.

I have bought a Gunboat.

I went to Sandbox Island, where I have permission to "rez" things. When I drag the Box from my inventory to the ground, it asks if I want to Add to my Outfit or Replace it. I can't figure out how to do anything else to it.

I can open the Box by wearing it, but now I'm wearing a giant boat for a hat.

There is no water on Sandbox Island. Regardless, I can't rez the boat without wearing it as an ornament.

What am I missing?
