Well, I finally got my foam boat done. I have to thank TwoTall for the inspiration, although I did make a few modifications to his design.
Enjoy the pic and let me know if you have any design questions I can answer.

I like it!!
A buddy of mine made the same type set up, only with a truck inner tube for flotation. TM straight down through the hole. The guy was 6'4" and weighed about 250, so it looked like an elephant on a flagpole. He shot the fizz to the TM, and that inner tube spun like a knob on a chit-house door!!
He liked to never got the stupid thing back to the bank.
Engineering schools are there for a reason.
