OK - here goes - You can put boats on ships, but not ships on boats. Unless you are talking about submarines and then they are called boats.
So I am right with row boat, and a canoe is also a boat, as is a dingy. But I am still unsure about sail boats and fishing boats..... When they get too big to put onto another, do they just automatically change names? It's a size thing only?
Sort of like when chubby turns to larda$$?

correct, so if it is smaller than an Aircraft Carrier or a Panamax Cargo ship it is a boat 
True boats us ALL THREE dimensions of the ocean/ sea/ lake/ river/ bathtub; anything else is a target
