PickBoat plugin for Bukkit makes it harder for boats to break vs the vanilla 'touch anything' and you wind up with a shattered boat setting.
If your boat does break it just drops a boat instead of sticks and wood planks. This gives players incentive to get out and take their boat with them, rather than leaving it in the water for later which adds just a hair more CPU usage since a boat is yet another entity to balance in an active chunk. It also creates new opportunity for water travel (especially in post 1.8 terrain) since you can have a chest at a dock to deposit.
Thank you in advance for giving this a tiny sliver of consideration.
