I purchased a boat and a truck in 2022 for the purpose of renting the boat out. The truck is used to deliver the boat to clients. I am planning to use special depreciation for both. That will put me at a significant loss which I plan to use to overcome w 2 income. Turbotax allows me to do so but wanted to confirm with you that I am okay doing so.

Yes, you are permitted to use special depreciation for your boat and truck as these are considered qualified business property. Keep in mind, in order to claim bonus depreciation , the truck and boat business use must be used for business at least 50% of the time.

Yes, it is best to document this carefully to allocate business/personal use of this property just in case if it is examined by the IRS.
When I try to enter the depreciation of the truck turbotax asks me questions and then allows me to take a special depreciation up to a certain amount ( close to like 26000 or so). Why would it not let me take the full amount? It allows me to take a full amount when I depreciate the boat on the other hand as I enter it separately under asset depreciation
