Anyone know if the New boat motor in or
can be attached to the botton of, and provide enough ballast to, the old
boats like that use the ballast weight to replace the
ballast weight?
I was thinking it could be attached with a couple of the 2x2 plate with holes
 a couple of friction pins with axle
Anyone have one to try this with?

I don’t know if that will work. I’m not sure if a single 2x2 set of dots will
stick to the hull given than the motor is pushing an inch down from where that
piece is. Of course, the motor doesn’t put out a lot of force, but it might not
stick on.
The older boat hulls with the Playmobil motor are VERY securely attached, and
the attachment clip is almost coaxial with the motor’s thrust.
You could always one of these instead...not very expensive, and you can get it
from Playmobil Canada in Mississauga:

Plus, the old style boats were designed with them in mind. If you mail me
before the next dinner, I can bring mine to lend you for tests.

PS-I really want to do a water related game for rtlToronto. I was thinking
perhaps RC boats, no limitation on size, motors or control system EXCEPT it has
to be all Lego. We could run them in a shallow reflection pool or something.
