{{Mergeto|Watercraft|date=November 2009}}

Can watercraft be merged with boat in order to simplify the articles (boat, boating, ship, watercraft) and provide a more clear article (with 1 meaning for each) ? Would allow to add more specific and better information for each rather than give a general view/modification of text for each individual article.

Also, boating can then be described as the activity of moving a watercraft over water (something which is hard if it were only to describe boats)

Definition should also be changed to A watercraft or boat is ... 
  
""Watercraft"" is a broader category of conveyances which enable passage across water, compared to ""boat.""  Watercraft includes personal watercraft, which is the generic name for jet-skis and waverunners, as well as canoes and other gizmos such as this.  A boat is a type of watercraft, but not all watercraft are boats.  IMHO a merge of one into the other is not the best way to treat them here.  – (talk • contribs)
