Maybe I'm just being thick, but can someone explain that one to me?

boat = both

Rabies

If 'their' was swapped with 'they're' it would have been clearer.

So, it should be like this:

A man is walking by his friends farmyard and he see's a sign saying "Boat for sale". He approches his friend John and says "But John, you only have a tractor and a caravan". "Yes" said his friend, and they're boat for sale.

A man is walking by his friend's farmyard and he sees a sign saying "Boat for sale".

He approaches his friend and says "But John, you only have a tractor and a caravan?".

"Yes", said his friend, "and they're boat for sale."

====================================

It's the way I tell 'em - Frank Carson.

A good joke marred by poor delivery.
Something we have all been guilty of I'm sure at one time or another.

Points to watch:

If you're posting a joke that's a play on words, double-check the words.
Always review anything you cut and paste for errors in grammar or missing words.
Anything that halts the flow of the joke and causes the reader to question what he is reading spoils the joke.

Localize your jokes:

• Change $ to €.
• Change foreign place names to more local place names.
• Change foreign personal names to more local ones unless the joke depends on them.
• Check lists of gags for foreign topical jokes that may not travel well.

By far the most sensible post of the lot.

3 stars for the joke, but only because I love really bad jokes!

I'm sorry if I seemed a little stern, but there was a hull of a lot of bad grammar in the OP's post to take onboard!
