sometimes i destroy the boat and put resources in a chest. unless i'm in a hurry\forgetful.
and if i'm exploring and there is a chance that i'll need to run away asap...then i just ram the shore (in those situations you will not be away long enough to damage the boat to destruction...and you'll repair in your next stop)
