The sea surface has built in dynamics (you don't need reactor), so when you set up your animation with the appropriate daemons, the sea surface will react to the movement of your boat model (you have some wake and foam controls in the rollout). This plugin comes with a host of video tutorials, one of which does a good job explaining this procedure.

So, if you are thinking about buying a copy, no sweat, the videos will help...if you have a warez version, you are probably SOL.

You may have to tinker with a blend or composite material, using the sea surface as one and a gradient on the other...otherwise, lighting with color where you need it, or change the color in post. That route always gives you plenty of options.
