Cardboard Boats

[Devin Catron]

Has anyone ever seen a boat that's made of only cardboard and packing tape....I have to make one in engineering and it has to hold 4 people....does that sound crazy?

I believe it's all about size to weight ratio's and things.
Just need to get the size right and it should hold.

and if u wrap the cardboard with tape it becomes water proof

 

[Devin Catron]

That's what I'm going to do...but I need alot of tape
