In a sentence

ふねboat

That's a boat

How it works

A noun like ふね (boat) can stand on its own as a whole sentence — “it’s a boat”. The plain copula (is) attaches to mark it as a statement, and the final (you know) adds a little push, like telling someone something you’re sure of. No polite です (is) here, so it sounds casual and direct.
