From experience on previous years' boats, we've had more of a problem with the boats being "too" bouyant. Last year's boat only sat in the water a couple of inches. Cardboard is surprisingly buoyant. The tetra pontoons will be plenty buoyant. By the way, does anyone know if and how you can set custom densities in Inventor? If anyone knows, I'll post the estimated weight of the boat.
