So I really want to make some videos of figures in a boat going down a waterfall etc. I just can't seem to find what I am looking for. I need a medium sized boat that floats perfectly that I can pose a few figures in and shoot the vid. Most Joe boats don't float. I can't really find any Lanard or Chap Mei boats.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The ROC Fang boat floats. It's a repaint of the water moccasin.
Bass pro shops and cabalas sell toys that float. Here is a set. https://www.cabelas.com/product/CABE...B&gclsrc=aw.ds Search for Tree House Kids. I think they are sold in Europe under that name.

Walmart has two lines, Adventure Force and Kids Connection, both are 1/18 scale and have boats. Both are cheap too. Paint and customize them to fit your goals.
If you have boats that don't float you can fill the holes, seams, gaps, etc... with automotive gasket sealer like RTV or use household sealants like caulk. Expanding foam insulation is a good way to fill the hulls so water has nowhere to go if there are holes. I'd also grab some lead weights used for pinewood derby cars. These can be used to balance the boat in the water so it looks natural and adds a little stability. |

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have most of the Joe boats but they're not really the look I need. I'll look into those others.

All the old adventure people boats float,
. I still find them at antique shops and flea markets all the time. The boat and yellow plane combo is still one of my favorite toys of all time. I know, I'm old. |

You can buy Click N play boats from Amazon, they seem to float in GI Joeburg's test, and they are relatively cheap. They are based on the military boats which I forgot the actual name of. They are used by SWCC though.
