First off this is a relatively broad idea that could be used for several things, I'll tell you the ones I've come up with.
Ok, so first I would like to see storage boats and powered boats in the game for easy transportation over water.
With this idea comes for a sort of "minecart track" if you will, for boats. So for this i suggest the creation of ropes.
Ropes would be made with like 3 spider web thingys in a row and make like 4 or so rope blocks. Ropes could be placed on water as a kind of track for boats to follow. Also, I really think you should be able to shoot ropes with arrows, and if you shoot two ropes from two adjacent blocks, making two parallel lines, you should be able to create a rop bridge. However the catch to this will be that you may only go over the bridge with items in your hot bar(to simulate the fact that you can't be too heavy when going over them). Also, you may not wear any armor while going over it.

Could use rope to raise/lower yourself over cliffs depending on how many of them you have strung together(courtesy MagmaTung, added to by me)

Hope you guys like the idea. If you have any suggestions to improve it please suggest.

Yes powered boats would be lovely, and i dont know if im retarded, but I cant get out of boats without breaking them.
Why not tie the boats together with the rope instead of trying to make a track? That way you could take your storage boat when you went exploring or wandering. The lead boat could go where ever it wanted and the trailing boats behind it that are tied to it would follow where ever the lead boat went.

Ya rope would be great.
you could tether the boat to the dock so it wont get drifted away too.
Rope could also be used to climb places you can't mine in.
many possibilities can come from ropes.
And if you have upgrades, you can build 'speed boats' :biggrin.gif:
and more upgrades can build yachts.

Yeah, that's another idea I had, however I figured the track would be better because then you could just set it up and it could be on its way, without you actually having to be there.
I'd like to sign this petition... The boats in minecraft are soo awful they're barely worth using. Sailboats,coalboats,metal boats, bigger boats all things we need. Maybe even canoes, so rather than break it every time you hit land, you can simply lift and portage.
I have a post with a few of these ideas on it, but here is what I like in this:
Tying boats to docks (they always float away)
Storage boats
I don't really like the other ideas, though.
Also, you need to be able to tie storage boats to boats so you can tow them. I mean, it's a vehicle, so you should be able to keep a chest with you when you go on voyages!
And boats should NOT break from scraping something. That is so unrealistic and annoying.

Yeah, plus they really need to make it so lilypads don't destroy the boats. Mostly because that's so unrealistic and because theres just so many of them, it makes it nearly impossible to navigate boats in swamp biomes.
i hate the current boats, but making them work like minecarts doesn't fit. Underground is a place of limitations, you are cramped, it's dark, etc. but the ocean is a place of freedom, wide open, views open to the horizon. So, instead of tying boats to a restricted movement path, embrace the freedom people associate with the ocean. I'm thinking sailboats would be amazing, but then they would have to add wind into the game. A less complicated solution would just be a powered boat with a spinnning wheel on the side or back that acts like an automated paddle (powered by coal or whatevs), although it would be less cool than sailing.
