I agree with the below statements. The issue is that they are worth some level of discussion, as there are only a few items that can be placed in the water. As such, it's almost worth looking at them separately, as opposed to comparing them to all of the land objects. Unless I'm missing something, there are only 4 water items - the springboard, waterslide, LIghtnigh Catamaran, and the Pirate Ship. As such, while land items may be more profitable, to maximize total profitability of the island, you'll need some water items. The only reason that they should be ignored is if you don't have enough $ to fill your land. In the end, while the Pirate Ship isn't as profitable as some of the special land structures, relative to the next best water option, the Pirate Ship is one of the best items to purchase (as it will increase profitability over the next best item by a pretty subtantial margin).
