Boats are great, and even though it may take a while making a canal is a lot cheaper than making tracks for a minecart. however, i believe that there should be an option to re-enforce a boat, because as it is boats are hella weak. one skeleton arrow or a bump on the wall of a canal cand shatter the boat into multiple pieces of wood and sticks, which isn't convienient unless you happen to be holding 5 or more boats in your inventory for one trip. so, here's my idea:
Also, in exchange for re-enforcing the boat to take multiple hits before breaking, the boat will take longer to speed up and slow down, along with having a lower max speed.
also, for going on night trips in a boat:

=Re-enforced boat
this boat would help you to see possible obstacles and enemies when traveling during the night, so as to extend the life of the boat.
And, for those of you who have braved a dungeon and retrieved a few of the Mossy Cobblestone blocks: The Ghost boat
[] [] [] []
This boat gives you a practical use for all that Mossy Cobblestone you found in a dungeon; it can take 30 hits before breaking and goes as fast as a normal boat would.
and, last but not least:
The Explosives boat

Once again, notch is the boat/re-enforced boat.
this device would be useful for clearing out land quickly so as to create canals more quickly and efficiently.
this is essentially my first post here, so don't go "OMG NUBZORZ" because of my simplistic idea. i simply think it would be useful if this could be implemented into the actual game, so as to make travel easier and boats more durable.
I like the idea of reinforced boats, but not the tnt boat.
I think for the torch boat just place a torch on the front or back would do, and be kinda interesting to see.
Also I think cobble should be lower, and boats don't die when you run against something slowly, so each higher reinforced boat can hit stuff at a higher speed, so diamond you can full throttle to the beach, while cobble you have to ease into port.
The hit counter would be for attacks like from users and mobs.
Normal boat=1 hit
Re-enforced Stone boat=10 hits

Re-enforced Gold boat=15 hits

Re-enforced Iron boat=20 hits

Re-enforced Diamond boat=50 hits+

I support the concept though.
agreed, the last post wasnt EXACTLY like this, but it was close enough for me to say:
