Week 5

This week calculations were completed. We built the first model of the boat and construction proceeded as planned. The boat was built to match the original specifications. Three hundred and ninety eight water bottles were procured and split between the two sides of the boat.  The two by fours were nailed together, and the cardboard flooring was attached on top. However, the boat was not tested this week, due to time and weather concerns. We will test the boat this week to see if it can hold the 450 pounds it is required to.
