Floating Marina

Ok, this is a unique set, because it is the only one of the few specifically designed to float. I have found the set with both orange and brown bases. The bases are very thick, containing the pocket of air that allows the set to float. (and very often in the case of used sets, a lot of water). The set has two berths to park thin plastic boats, and a gas pump where the boats refuel. Not visible in this picture, and in fact missing from most sets I have found, is the lighthouse piece, a clear plastic top the little people can hang out in to watch the ships go by. That top had a red revolving "light", if there's a person standing there when the light revolves, he's swept down through the lighthouse slide, into the ocean! LOOK OUT!!!! I think a slide came with the set, so that it was supposed to be fun for the little person. The set came with a nice pontoon one-seater plane that lives in the hanger, which constitutes the main part of the set. This set, along with the new jetport, is one of the most common sets I have found.
