Yes, their meanings are roughly the same. Both are somewhat informal, expecially the "float my boat" metaphor.
Also, the "it" is treated more respectfully in the cup of tea metaphor.
I would use either in speech, but be more wary in writing.
I would put quotation marks around the first saying; the second would be used so informally that quotation marks, while equally necessary, might look pretentious.
