I think that boats and minecarts should be enchantable. With pig control coming out soon, and going 5 blocks per second on maximum speed, minecarts will become useless and boats aren't great even now.
The enchantments are as follows:
Minecart: Speed I-V [I is one bps(block per second) faster than normal minecart speed, and it increases by
1 bps with each tier]
Shock Absorb I-III (prevents falling damage like feather falling on boots)
Silken Wheels I (stops minecart from activating detector rails. Good for hidden bases on servers)
Efficiency I-V (makes the minecart go faster from each powered rail and from furnaces)
Kinetic Energy I-V (makes minecarts do damage when hitting something. I=2 hearts, II=4 hearts,
III=6 hearts, IV=8 hearts, V=10 hearts)
Boat: Speed I-V (same as minecart)
Reinforcement I-V (makes the boat have a smaller chance to break in a crash)
Lava resistance I (exactly what it sounds like. Rarest enchantment.)
Kinetic energy I-III (same as minecart, but only to 3 since boats are wooden)
Hit and Run I-IV (When you are going at what would be full speed without enchantments, you get fish
randomly. The chance for getting a fish increases with each tier, but is still very rare)
So, what do you guys think?

I'm pretty sure 5 blocks max speed is pretty much the same as a human. I might be wrong though.
Other than that, this is a great idea! I think when boats break in 1.4 though, they just drop boats, making reinforced useless. Not sure if this is a definite addition or not though.

Well, it may be less useful, but still okay because the boats won't break at all. There won't be a need to pick it up and place it again.

I don't know if they even can do this, never mind should. An entity is very different from an item (I know items are entities, but still). I'm thinking they could have an armor file, like creepers and pigs - if so, this could be where the placed boat/minecart gets its enchantments stored. But then there's the issue of recovering the enchantments with the vehicle.

Here's how they could do it: All of the enchanted boats and carts are different items. When one of them (let's use a boat with Speed V as an example) is placed down, it turns into the entity "Boat with Speed V". This is a new entity, exactly like "Boat" but faster. The "Boat with Speed V" entity always drops a Boat item with Speed V when broken.

I only need to do one of these (remember, zero counts here, representing the enchantment being absent).
Six Speed levels, times six Efficiency Levels, times six Kinetic Energy Levels, times four Shock Absorb levels, times two Silken Wheels levels.
6*6*6*4*2
1728 different items. Yeah, I can see that happening. Even if you use metadata that's 108 items. There's no way in hell Mojang will devote that many items IDs to something like this.

Then they can do it the way they do regular enchantments, and make the boat one entity with different power tags, and make the power tag affect what it drops like they did with charged creepers, so enchanted boats can drop enchanted boat items.

But still, the tag does NOT affect drops. Maybe it could, but currently it doesn't.
Don't get me wrong, if they can do this it would be great.
