What's with the row boat that Steve sees in the water at the beginning?

I'm not insane man I'm just outta my tree.

I'm thinking it was either that or it was supposed to be the two dead bodies of Mary Joe and Officer what's-his-name (stevie says it once at the car smashing scene) floating away after the blue ribbon killed them. It would explain what happened to the bodies, and why there was a random rowboat, but I could be wrong...

That's what I was thinking. It probably was. It looked lke whatever was in it was covered by a coat or blanket.

I think it's supposed to be a cover-up showing that Mary Jo tried to run away but fell out of her boat and drowned.

Hold it right there! Hold it right there! DAMN IT!

Yeah, but, ummm, when you want to get rid of dead bodies, you don't just randomly set them loose in a rowboat for the next set of ferry passengers to discover. Generally, burying them, or sinking them in the bay, now that'd be a good idea.
I'm leaning towards the "meaningless attempt to create a spooky and mysterious atmosphere" theory, myself.

i thought maybe it had something to do with maybe a deleted scene that they did reference later but then cut and forgot to take out...but yeah it could have been bodies i guess
