 Observing your articulators
You may not be able to see the tongue for boat because of lip rounding, so try this: While saying the vowel of boat, stick a bamboo skewer (blunt end first, of course!) into your mouth until it touches your tongue.
If you pronounce the vowel aloud, and it is rounded, then you will hear it change as you unround your lips and may unconsciously compensate for that by moving your tongue.
Another method is to make the vowel, hold it, and de-round your lips until you can see your tongue.
