Im not familar with the ocean tutorial on this site, but heres what I do. Take the boat and parent it to a null. Then use the same displacement map that you are using for the ocean on the null.
This will cause the boat to ride on the surface and bob up and down with the waves. Works pretty good, but sometimes it takes some experimentation on where to place the boat initially.
