making boats
what parameters should be made for making a good boat for class project?
my teacher gave a class project for making a boat. it should be made from unused things and if you want to buy some of the parts it should be less than $5 of total. every boat made wil be entered into school contest. so, what parameters should I make to build a perfect boat for the class project?
oh yeah! great suggestions so far, hard to decide… by the way, it will be a model boat but I think a suggestion for life size boat will be useful too. thanks for the advice, i will extend the question period
When a boat designer draws plans for a boat, the first thing that is done is to build a “Model Boat” from the plans. So, any boat plans can be made into a small model.
One answer mentions Popsicle Sticks. This would make for good frames and use a Shoebox (Not corrugated cardboard, but, the thin shoebox type) or maybe a flat plastic. This material will bend easy. Use the Popsicle Sticks for supports across the boat and for seats. In the link you will find a simple Row Boat, scroll down;

Row Boats the Jolly Roger 8′
You can almost look at the picture and build this. Just use a ruler and make 1 inch equal to 1 foot. This an 8′ boat so your model will be 8″. If you can lay Popsicle sticks side by side and glue with Elmer’s Glue or what ever then this give you the bottom. After the glue dry make your curves for the shape. You may need help to cut this, or maybe get the Wood Shop teacher to cut it out for you on a Band-saw. Depends on your time frame. Then you clue your cardboard, cut to size to the bottom and make seats across to help hold the shape. Cut small pieces of your sticks to glue to the side just high enough to lay the seat board across. Hope you understand and good luck. Heck, you make even use a drinking straw and some cloth/cardboard and put a little sail on your boat. Other pictures on the web-site help you get the idea.
