A few came back.

One was to use the pnuematic air tanks, sounds good but:
1. the only way to get them is to buy complete usually expensive) sets.
2. they probably wouldn't allow the boat to go very fast.

Another was to put a plastic bag at the bottom of the plates. This got me
thinking that maybe there could be a way to create a sort of "tube" and blow up
a small balloon inside of it?????

I've been wondering about that too.  Any replies?
