Did you know that it was not an iceberg that sunk the Titanic, it was a lillypad.
Right now, lily pads are like ocean mines to boats - run into one, and your boat breaks - and boats are very fragile when trying to land, something that's an especially large problem on SMP servers where lag dictates how much control you actually have over the boat.
So I propose solving both problems with one change - Lily pads become non-solid to boats. Not just non-solid mind you, but cause the boats to slow down to a speed where hitting things won't cause them to explode, similar to web, but less extreme.
Players/mobs should still be able to walk on them, arrows stick to them, etc.
This'd also allow players to create 'harbors' where they can lay down lily pads to prevent incoming boats from smashing, or carry lily pads with them to lay down before they make landfall in a new patch of land.
