Don't float your own boat 

Someone who gives themselves a compliment, often cocky.
Eric: "I am the best at hockey"
Ann: "Don't float your own boat"

Your boat don't float 

Something that has weighed it down... Not on surface but below or underneath the surface... An anchor may cause a boat not to float... Therefore it it stuck..
Your boat don't float if you don't have any ambitions

whatever floats your boat 

This means whatever turns you on, interests you, suits you, something you like, your preference or choice
e.g. Q. 'Would you like to go skiing?' A. 'Whatever floats your boat' (your choice or preference)

e.g. Statement 'I prefer boys to girls'; Response 'I just like girls but whatever floats your boat is fine with me'.
