My idea is to use the blue boat hulls with playmo. motors under them.  I've had
one pond in a basement before...but this would be more advanced than that.

I've also electric taped a motor onto one of the smaller hulls.  The problem
that I have had is that the hulls tend to want to float upside down if you have
much superstructure, for example the container ship from the harbour set tends
to want to float up side down without ~100 pennies in it for ballast.  And of
course, that means that it is deeper in the water... can't win, I guess.  I
looked at FG today actually- I should get on with it I suppose.
