What if I take all of the pieces that were removed, and put them back together? Would that be a different boat?

Yes

It would be a new boat, yes. The component parts are older, but it has existed as something we would consider a boat for a shorter amount of time.

Then, what if we took half the boat completely apart, and then pit it back together? Is it now a new or the old boat?

I remember my dad's car project, where an old Citroën was completely in pieces. That's not the same car, after he put it back together? (Not that he ever did)
