I know there's already some way to put Minecart Chests in boats for extra storage, but there are reasons this system isn't the best:
1) The Minecart texture makes the whole thing look like you're cheating the game (which you are, kind of)
2) When only the Minecart is in the boat and not the player, it moves to the middle of the boat
Here's my suggestions for Storage Boats. There are a few variations...
The storage boats would display with the chest connected to the back. When riding a storage boat, there is a button in the corner of your inventory to switch between your inventory and the boat's. The dispenser boat would dispense items out the back when you right click with your bare hand, and will be pushed faster by dispensing fireworks. Motorboats are the equivalent of minecarts with furnaces.
Actually a pretty good suggestion for boats. Although how far will the fireworks push you? It shouldn't be more than 2-3 blocks, otherwise it will be way too OP.
Support.

Fireworks in elytras push you several dozen blocks, and they can fly. 2-3 blocks is drastically less powerful.
According to the Minecraft Wiki page on transportation, boats can travel 8 blocks per second on water. 2-3 blocks would save you less than half a second of time. You wouldn't even notice it.
I have to say I would rather the dispenser boat shoot forwards, as going faster in water isn't very useful but being able to shoot arrows or fire charges would open up a lot of gameplay options and potential new water based threats.
The motorboat sounds kinda useless but that is more because you described it as equal to a Minecart with Furnace.
The storage boats are fine. Reasonably balanced, would be beneficial.

You could make some very fun minigames with something like that:
Bumper boats with guns
A game where you need to hit a target while dodging obstacles. The slipperiness of boat controls would make this a challenge.
A game where you need to kill a chicken by deploying a firework below it. I think two fireworks are required. The enemy can protect their chicken.
You could run up to a dispenser and input a music disk for a more musical way of completing a challenge.
A game where you run up to other players and equip them with leather armor enchanted with Curse of Binding. Anyone wearing a full set of armor is eliminated.
For the sake of minigames, if this isn't already a thing, snowballs should break boats if you shoot several of them in a short time span.
I really like the idea to have dispensers in the front, but I can also imagine some people might want to make maps where you're being chased and have to fire on the enemy. We could just have two crafting recipes depending on which kind you want, and the process could be more customized.
(Oops, I made the second one with a dropper and I'm too lazy to fix it)
Using the first recipe would give you a boat with a dispenser in the back, and using the second recipe would give you a dispenser in the front.
I agree that fireworks pushing only 2-3 blocks seems a bit nerfed, and the main focus I had on improving boat speed specifically was the motorboat. I think this would be a lot more efficient than minecarts with furnaces because you can get in them, and it's for a purpose players can actually get behind (traveling across the ocean) instead of minecart rails, which many players don't use because of how expensive they are.
If you all have ideas for other variations of boats, please add them. I thought it might be good to have a Shulker Boat...
(Oops, the recipe creator I use doesn't work with shulker boxes. Pretend the purple dye is a shulker box.)
This would allow you to transport your items across water without having to move them back and forth between inventories, and can save a lot of time. Maybe if you only have one shulker shell left, you could craft it with the shell, giving you a small shulker boat, which only has the storage space of a donkey chest.
Fireworks in elytras push you several dozen blocks, and they can fly. 2-3 blocks is drastically less powerful.

My bad. I should have read up on that first before making an ignorant comment. Thanks for the information though.

I'd have to craft one first , storage boats i was wonderin' if it is possible
to craft this storage boats in Creative mode?
Nope. Storage boats don't exist, that's why PlanetJupiderp is suggesting it.
