You said yourself. In the incidence you were not in furtherance of the accident. Matter of fact you were trying to stop him but he did it anyway. Your conduct can not be a substantial factor to the damage. You should not be held jointly and severaly liable for the accident.
What you can do is try to pursuade your friend to pay for it. You can also contact the owner of the boat and try to explain to him what happened and hopefully can get an indemnification from him so that he would not hold you as a defendant in a court action. Last, if unfortunately you are a named defendant then you can still show evidence that you did eveything you could to stop your friend and you did not contribute to the damage. What you said is evidence. To claim your contribution, your friend has to prove with preponderance of the evidence that you were also liable. I don't he can do that, based on what you said.
