according to archimedes' principle anytime anything is place in the water it displaces a given amount of the water. the displaced fluid has to go somewhere, so it rises and spreads evenly over the surface. to answer the question, in a controlled setting, the sea level would rise. given the fact that there are sea swells and waves, it would be negligable and impossible to measure, and would vary too depending on whether the boats were empty or loaded. also, was your question meant to imply if the boats were taken out OF the sea, or out TO sea?

Taken out to sea. or Taken out of the sea.
I do not understand what you are trying to ask.
Either way it would make no difference in the sea levels around the world.

Mathematically, it would go down.
But, you would not be able to measure it.
Total or all the world boats displacement = x
Total of the water in the sea = y
Sea level = z
Lowered sea level = x divide by y times z = bugger all !

All the oceans would rise 8' 4 5/16"
Would cause major flooding. All Marmadukes would perish

The oceans would drop about 2 inches or so. The displacement of ALL the world's ocean going vessels, doesn't have as much impact as you think. Now, if you removed all the icebergs along with all the boats, THEN, you might see some real "shrinkage".

Nothing at all. Not enough displacment to matter when your talking about 75% of the earths surface.

You seem to have a pretty poor grasp on the concept of relative sizes.
Forget Archimedes, there isn't enough mass to make a difference.

the same thing that would happen if you took one grain of sand out of an Olympic sized swimming pool........
