Get different boat in (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obtain

'get' is the definition.
(I know that get can be written as obtain)

'different boat in' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters (letters placed in a different order).
'boat' anagrammed gives 'obta'.
'obta'+'in'='OBTAIN'

(Other definitions for obtain that I've seen before include "Get - secure" , "Hold good" , "Take possession of" , "Gain possession of" , "'Get, acquire (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
