Where does your boat start when your mission begins?  If your boat begins on the beach with the units in the boat, then I think the boat might try to find what the AI feels is an ideal landing spot.

For example, I have a mission where an AI boat starts about 300 meters out and drops off an AI soldier on the shore, but the boat lands about 50-100 meters away from where the waypoint is located in the editor.  I don't know how to make the boat land exactly where the waypoint is.  I'm going to guess that if I made the boat start at the beach already, it might move out, find a "good" spot, and land.

I have similar problem with Zodiac boat addon. AI controlled Zodiac start with full speed, but about 100m before opposite shore its speed slows down and boat starts wandering ...

Same thing works fine with standard boat.

This is still mystery for me  :-\

they start in the boat about 300-400 meters out.

What kind of things have you got on the beech?  Most likely the boat is getting scared and running away.

hmmmmmmmmm..... i got another problem. the ppl arnt getting out when the boat has landed, how do i make a whole squad disembark at the shore?

You need to give the squad a "get out" waypoint on the beach:   synchro it with the "transport unload" waypoint.

It might also help if you put the WPs up the beach just a little:   boats can travel over land for short distances (or even long ones for all I know)
