Plot hole: How did Jason get the boat from Crystal lake to the open ocean?
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
Plot summary
Directed by: Rob Hedden
Starring: Kane Hodder, Kelly Hu, Todd Caldecott, Jensen Daggett, Tiffany Paulsen
Genres: Horror
The graduating class of the local high school is going on a cruise with Jason as a stowaway. The heroine believes she was almost drowned by Jason as a child. Jason eventually sinks the boat and kills many of the students on it, but many of them escape to Manhattan. A long battle with Jason ensues until Jason is washed away in the New York sewers by a midnight flooding of toxic waste.
Rennie: There is a maniac trying to kill us.
Waitress: Welcome to New York.
Trivia: Jensen Daggett was genuinely terrified when actor Kane Hodder pulled her towards him, through the porthole. This is because a huge shard of glass was right by her throat and Kane was unknowingly pulling her toward it. You can see the frightened look on her face. (00:53:25)

Chosen answer: To the best of my knowledge, this is just a bit of a continuity mistake. While previous films have not indicated Crystal Lake is connected to the ocean, this film portrays it as being connected. You just kinda gotta go with it for the movie to work.
