Powered Rails On Gold Blocks Propel As Much As Ice Boats (Remove Ice Boats)

Boats flying across ice blocks is bizarre, uncool, yet highly efficient. Minecarts are very cool, they just need to be made competitive. I propose that powered rails when atop a golden block become just as propellant. This is justified by the pre-existing relationship between gold and redstone, and preferably the ice boating exploit would be removed also.

Maybe gold as a circuit block could be expanded in general, such as increasing adjacent piston push limits etc

    I think it would be cool to add ultra-boosted minecarts, but the thing is, ice boats slide and are slippery, allowing you to make fun obstacle courses out of them. You can also choose what direction you're going, and can stop. Good idea, though.

    @TheIlluminix Choosing your direction, and the ability to stop, are all easily accessible within a minecart as well, and the obstacle course potential stemming from ice-boats is a natural side effect of a fundamentally broken and silly mechanic- something better could be done.
