I read both books. Barely remember either of them to be honest. Pretty sure Forrest Jr turns out to be a genius. Yeah, the trope the author uses is that Forrest Jr. comes up with genius plans for fixing their problems and Forrest St. screws them up.

I remember something about a boat full of pigs and using manure to power the boat

No, but I did read the sequel, Gump and Co. Which was largely a reaction by the author to how much he hated the movie. From what I can remember, Forrest plays in the NFL, is responsible for New Coke, questions Little Forrest's sexuality when he gets his ear pierced, and meets Tom Hanks. Who Forrest f***Ing despises. I don't know which one is more insane now: the book sequel, or the proposed movie sequel (which included Forrest hiding in the backseat of OJ's white Bronco during the chase, and Forrest having a 'sitting on a park bench' scene which took place in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on.....y'know, THAT day... )
