I've talked about doing exactly that with my better-half.  Actually,
we were talking about making a pair of them, one for me, one for her,
and using a dome type of hatch like that found on a K-250.  Sitting
on a trailer, or in the water, the thing would definitely look like
a little flying saucer.  A couple of external motor pods on the sides
that were rotatable, again, like a K-250's, and it would probably
be pretty maneuverable.
