4 player boats or connected boats

Hi, i have a suggestion that would help with traveling on water in Minecraft,

1. 4 player/entity boats The boats would become bigger and could handle 4 players/entities, if there was the maximum amount of players in the boat it could sometimes sink and destroy,

2.connected boats (it's like the number one suggestion) Connected boats could be crafted by having 2 boats and one iron ingot in your inventory (only crafting table) and if put in water the first boat would be controlled by one player and the 2th one could go in the way as the first boat, there also might be 4 boats by adding 2 connected boats and 2 iron ingots into the crafting table, if the first suggestion would be accepted then 2 connected boats could handle 8 players/entities.

That would be great if it gets accepted because it's better to travel on water like your playing on a server and want to make a base far far away from the spawn. Thanks for taking your time and reading this :)
