I tried posting to the Minecraft subreddit, but the post would get deleted immediately. I just want to show someone!

It's mostly silent, minus the dispensers clicking and occasional water splash, but it's much smoother than a flying machine, and not to terribly slow, rising at a little over 2 blocks per second. It's a good way to transport things vertically

Nice job! I always like neat mechanisms. Only elevator I ever built was with water and soul sand.

That's faster, easier and more efficient than this boat elevator! During the development process of the elevator, I did have a block switcher at the bottom which would swap a stone block for soul sand when the elevator was activated and the boat would rise very quickly (I didn't have to put a delay in like with this one.) It would also descend more quickly because the dispensers were faster. It was VERY noisy, though, because when you're on top of a bubble column it constantly makes splash noises

You can make a contained column of water with trap doors on their side (need two high) which prevents the water from escaping, soul sand underneath, and no boat needed. To come down, I made an empty column beside it with a water block at the bottom to stop fall damage.

Not as fancy as a mechanized dual-purpose elevator, but it got the job done, and it was quick and quiet.
