When are you able to put characters in and out of forts? Specifically Fishing Boat?

Can I shove my disciple in Fishing Boat, play Pentecost, and then take my disciple out of Fishing Boat?

Citation please 

Yus.

Fishing boat goes setaside though

You can put characters into and out of Fishing Boat from your territory (or into from your hand) during the preparation phase only.

Abilities on Fortresses can be used as many times as you like while they are active (see The Gates of Hell).  So it is legal to put disciples into your Fishing Boat, do other prep phase stuff, like play Pentecost, and then use Fishing Boat's "ability" again to bring the disciples out of your Fishing Boat still during your prep phase.

I agree with this and this is how i thought it was played but just to clarify: if I have fishing boat in my set aside with no disciples in it then i put 2 disciples in there I CAN NOT use the ability until my next turn since i'm already past my upkeep phase.

1.  Draw Phase – You draw three (3) cards and add them to your hand. Lost Souls are placed in territory.  For each Lost Soul you place in your territory, draw another card.
2.  Upkeep Phase – You must change counters if needed.
3.  Preparation Phase – You may perform any number of these actions in any order. Actions may be repeated unless a limit is stipulated:
•      Place a character (cross or dragon icon) into your territory.
•      Place an artifact, covenant, or curse face down in your artifact pile.
•      Activate an artifact, covenant, or curse by placing an artifact it face up on your artifact pile (limit once per turn).
•      Place a site into your territory.
•      Place a Lost Soul into a site.
•      Set aside a character.
•      Return a character from your set-aside area and place it back into your territory.
•      Place a weapon-class enhancement on a warrior-class character in your territory.
