I was thinking that it would be cool to have frigate-like ships, kind of like pirate ships. It could be used for whatever you wanted to use it for! Such things could be, using it as a trade boat between towns, a fishing adventure, awesome ship battles in the middle of the ocean, use it as a home, or whatever else your imagination can come up with! It would be kind of big, somewhere around 15 by 7 blocks and about 5 blocks high (not including the sail). Because of its size and usefulness, it should be fairly hard to craft, involving crafting parts and then putting the parts together. On it, you could place blocks to customize it almost like a home. It could have more than one room, such as a storage like room, a main room, a bedroom, and a main deck. To place it, you would find a big enough space and just right click from it in your hand. It could have a ladder on the side to get on. Once aboard, to drive you would go to the turning wheel/steering wheel thing, which would be on the main deck. It could be driven just like a regular boat. I also thought that it would be really cool if they came out with crafting ideas just for this boat to be placed on, such as cannons. Here are some pictures on what it could kind of be like:
Once I thought of this idea, I realized that the waters and lakes weren't big enough. That's why I came up with the idea of oceans (if they are already considered oceans then bigger oceans)! It would be awesome to have massive bodies of water separating lands. It would make adventuring more fun and more uses of water, such as water trading.
What do you guys think of these ideas? If this gets enough positive feedback, I'll put more time into it!
I don't want to be one of those "use the search" jerks but this idea has been suggested a few times before; I do support the idea, but its hard to keep the idea relevant when other ideas are more popular or when not many support it.
Anyway, good idea. but try to add to another "larger ships" thread so that the idea can get some momentum.

This one's not really a boat but still a cool idea:

Ya know, that was highly unnecessary. It just led me back here.
