I just realized this...
Fixed Advancement on lesser sea wyrm.
Added greater sea wyrm to Homebrews.
For the breath weapon, we can just borrow the brass dragon's cone of sleep gas and fit it appropriate to its size...
Breath Weapon (Su): 50-foot cone of sleep gas, once every 1d4 rounds, Creatures within the cone must succeed on a DC X Will save or fall asleep, regardless of HD, for 1d6+8 rounds; effective both on the surface and underwater. The save DC is Constitution-based.
We'll need to increase the size categories for constrict ship. Maybe...
Constrict Ship (Ex): A greater sea wyrm can wrap its serpentine body around all but the largest ships and crush them or drag them below the waves automatically. This can be done to a rowboat (1 round), keelboats (5 rounds), or longship (10 rounds). Sailing ships, warships, and galleys are too large for a greater sea wyrm to affect in this way.

Updated.
Borrow from the similarly-sized and shaped behir?
Swallow Whole (Ex): A behir can try to swallow a grabbed opponent up to two sizes smaller than itself by making a successful grapple check. A swallowed creature takes 2d8+8 points of bludgeoning damage and 8 points of acid damage per round from the behir’s gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 15). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.
A behir’s gizzard can hold 2 Medium, 8 Small, 32 Tiny, or 128 Diminutive or smaller opponents.

Agreed. The gizzard AC goes to 14, though, since the natural armor is a little less.

Cleave, since other monsters (behir and purple worm) indicate that swallowed = "dropped" for the purposes of free attacks. We should specify this in a Feats entry, however.
