In timelapse videos such as this you should avoid using any of the HDR-like adjustments. Those are shadows, highlights, whites, blacks and Clarity. These effects will affect different parts of the image depending on the overall brightness of the image. Lightroom does a global analysis to create on-the-fly masks that affect where the sliders affect the image. Probably when a boat comes into the image, the overall brightness goes down and Lightroom puts the balance where highlights affects the image at a different point, making the effect of the slider stronger. You should maybe try to only use the tone curve on these images and use the graduated filter only with exposure adjustment (i.e. no clarity, shadows, or highlights slider adjustments).
