Evidently it worked but not well enough to keep him out of the drink:

It gives the word "Watercraft" a whole new meaning  

And, "Submarine Commander"

I'd like to give it a ride

It brings a whole "gotta keep moving" mentality to the ride, because if you stop you sink.  It makes me think of Risky Business:

Did you guys notice the natural finish pipe in some of the shots?  It was all rusted from the salt water.  He switched to a nickel plated pipe in the later shots.  He's probably running in to rust issues only a Navy guy would understand.

Imagine the internals, every dump / suck ocean water. Really got to give him credit for going big from the get go, I'm picturing a nice calm lake. That set-up has room for improvement too , can't wait for a kit to come out.
