I know everyone would like to have boats you could actually ride in like an ATV ....
But as an alternative how about a purchasable boat icon that you can place down on the shore of a river or lake .... You can then designate an end point on the other side of water structure ...
Once placed this would function like the already static boat crossing on some maps and would allow us to add our own crossing points on maps that don't already have them ....
Of course like all player structures like tents and stands there would be a limit to how many of these you could put down on any map .... and you could pick them up an move them as you wish ....
EW you could add this to a DLC pack along with some other suggestions like trail cams and feeders to recoup development costs .....
