Um, it needs more hull, that would be awesome if you could float that out on a lake.

Put some motors, some co2 guns on it, you could terrorize the ducks all day. Go fishing with some m-80 "depth charges".

Well, at least repairs and additions/modifications would be easily made to the ship. Practically no time spent in dry dock.
