Smokey,
Boquete is 38 km from David,David about equidistant from Panama City or San Jose ,CR.Buses can be slow ,but the smaller planes are even less likely to let you bring a boat,according to what I read the weight limit is 25 lbs.Those little planes/flights are cool though you can see really well and the flights are ridiculously short.A night bus may be the answer,though you'll miss out on seeing the countryside.
If you are in need of beta check out LONELY PLANET ;PANAMA,it has a guidebook of sorts{not real detailed} compiled by a guide from NOC.Stuff not around Boquete that has been run includes , the Mamoni,Rio Grande ,and there is/was a German guy in Santa Clara ,Cocle,who runs trips from continental divide to the Pacific,search xs memories or kayak Panama.I think there is good surf near Santa Clara.Good luck ,have fun,I am jealous.
