I've wanted larger, more custom boats for a long time. Its nice to see someone has put more time into the idea. This looks epic. Though its so complicated I doubt Mojang would add it into the game as it is, but I realy hope they still add part of it at least.
I do like the idea of these golems for working on ships, but I think that, depending on the task that it's given, should be made with different materials. Maybe you could craft a general golem item and, say, to get a cleaning golem, you'd craft a bucket into it, or something along those lines.

Why don't you put a poll on this and just ask:
Do you want bigger boats in vanilla MineCraft? Y/N.
I've seen this thread forever and honestly I don't care. I'd love to be about to vote "No" and be done with it. Look, no offense to the idea, somewhat bigger boats would be fine. But this is waaaay too complicated for vanilla. It would be the single most complicated addition to the game so far and most people don't even touch the ocean. Now you might say, "Well, bigger boats would give people a reason to use the ocean!" No, it wouldn't because oceans are still big, boring and only inhabiting by squid. Unless all kinds of more important things get added to the game first to make the ocean interesting, boats will always be rarely used option.
I know you hate it, but this idea screams Mod to me. Like trains or planes - it's only a small group of people that really want it.
Well, if there was an ocean update perhaps, and they made the ocean as important as land, this idea would be better. But it is still a good idea.
A tweet would work better, and in order for it to work efficiently we'd all have to do it at the same date & time.
Does anyone want to do that? Post your advocacy and discuss a date!
We should do that! I don't have a twitter, but I'll make one if it means helping this awesome idea get into the game! I sugjest Monday June 25th, 2 PM EST. Plenty of time to gather more people for it, and hopefully nobody will have plans that far ahead.

If anyone still hasn't known, we're planning to assemble a mass tweet where we all send mentions to the members of Mojang's Twitter accounts to get them to see this idea.
June 25 sounds good, but how about June 30? It would give people more time to prepare for the tweet and tell their friends about it. I'll edit the OP accordingly, you people need to sign your names to let me know you're participating in the mass tweet!

Check out Boats Evolved; the fancy huge customizable boats Notch tweeted about brought to life!
You should add sharks and creatures the get bigger and stronger the further into the you go and they will try to destroy your boat and when you get deep enough into the sea you get a kraken. there should also be some sort waves and currents that pull you under the sea so you need a boat, also there should be sea storms.

This has been proposed in the latest amendment! Are you going to participate in the mass tweet?

Notch has said Sharks aren't going to happen, but I like the idea of storms. We should put that in.
If this actually becomes a thing, I think I would constantly be moving. I'd never really settle down.
In other words, I hope this AT LEAST becomes a mod. It is the best suggestion I've seen.
i completely agree with this topic. as seaman we need bigger ships to travel with. i feel a bit lonely on a SMP server with a boat that can carry only 1 person. for you!
Yeah. I do like that. Good idea mate.

Everyone, please let me know if you want to participate in the mass tweet.

I've added both your names in the OP! Remember, June 30th! Get your friends!
I'm going to -try- July 20. Unless we can agree on a later date.
