I'm creating some canals in thin piece of land between bodies of water. I've hit a problem where the bodies of waters are at different levels (sometimes only one or two blocks higher/lower than each other). Where the two levels meet is a waterfall and at this point, the boat breaks. Seemingly this is a result of water behaviour changing in the Java edition relatively recently? Anyway I played around and no matter what, if my boat is doing uphill, it will simply sink under the water.
(I also note that if I break my boat with hands, sword, etc, it simply disappears. I thought boats are retrievable when broken? I'm playing the latest, 1.15.1, with no mods.)
Id say use dispancers and water buckets to fill up lock on level at a time same with going down activate despencers to remove water or us an overflow round the side to get down
I managed to build a soulsand stairway, I haven't tested it thoroughly but I was able to go both up and down at any speed without any boats breaking or getting stuck. (in 1.15.1)
I imagine it would look more natural with wider deeper? steps (2X2 instead of 2X1) and or deeper water.
Going down I think the sidewalls should be a bit higher to keep the boat inside the canal.

About broken boats disappearing, could they just be taking longer than you expect to rise to the surface again?
I think I've noticed that drops in deep water go quite far down and take quite a while to resurface in 1.15.1

(You weren't testing in creative mode were you? You don't get drops when you break things in creative.)

After further testing I'd advise against having deeper water, it worked but the taller bubble columns made the boat bounce around uncomfortably.

Just testing.
