Float your boat

Hello,


Someone was too positive on something that I believe it's impossible. He kept saying things like: "I know it will happen some day", etc, and I told him "float your boat"
What I meant by saying that was that "it's up to you to believe what I say or not". Did the expression "float your boat" express what I mean correctly/clearly?

Thanks.

No. org/wiki/float_someone%27s_boat for the meaning of this expression. I can't think of any case where "float your boat" could be used in the imperative.
