Herere is what I wrote in another post--it applies for the water textures too:

Check out the Golden Wings 3 Bill Lyons mods. Look at the Old Hangar forums for the downloads you need.
The changes made to scenery and light are the best I have seen. And all is freeware.
You can even make a second sim called fsgw3, and incorporate the changes in that alone, as I have done.

I have rarely flown in the FS9 sim since I installed fsgw3--it is much better, IMHO.

I've got to go with either Silverwings or my personal favourite, Perfectwater.  :)

Since no one has mentioned it, here's a plug for waterzone (also freeware)...no probs with frames and it looks pretty good. It's a bit more blue than morewater if that suits your taste.
