That experiment seems to be more about the size of the object than the distance. Because of we used a miniature boat, I'd lose sight much sooner. If we go even smaller, I cant even see my own finger prints at arm's length. Are they being blocked by the horizon?
I am given you a link to a video as there are limits to my expertise and experience on the subject of how the horizon works, and how it rises to eye level. So if you are interested, check it out.

Sure. Here is a video from p-brane explaining how the horizon forms at our eye level, and how it is a result of perspective.
It's a perspective horizon not a hijacked "curvature" horizon.
