My backpack tower existed pre-T2A through sometime during the T2A era. I didn't trust some people, my bank was full, so I used my boat to keep my super goodies stashed away from everyone

Decay on boats was introduced the same time as in houses:

Patch Notes for 01/24/2000 wrote: Clean Up Britannia (Phase III)
The final phase in the Clean Up Britannia program will be the implementation of item decay in houses. The decay rate will be the same as with items outside.

Once in effect, house item decay will affect all items that are not:

Placed in a secure container.
Locked down.
A house add-on (such as an anvil or a loom).
Placed by an IGM or GM.
Item Decay on Boats

We will be activating decay for items left on the deck of a boat. These items will decay at the same rate as items left on the ground outside.

Only items left on the deck of a boat will decay, items in the hold of a boat will not be subject to decay.
