Re: ATTN: Geniuses (specifically Engineers)
Thanks you guys sooo much for helping me out. I really had no idea where to begin just 2 days ago… and now my boat is almost complete. 
I’m in a team building a boat with 2 of my friends, and then there was some extra cardboard left so I decided to build one on my own (I’ve never built anything on my own before!). I have decided to name my boat the “Pakistani Flagship” (no joke:D) and I’m flying the Pakistani flag on it. =) I’ve also got some other accessories that make it all patriotic. I will post pics soon. The competition is tomorrow.
ATA, I followed most of the steps. I sketched the model on a piece of paper and then converted the measurements (I will show you guys that as well). The only thing I did differently is I assembled the boat.. made all the cuts and everything and then after I duct taped it all together, I lined the bottom half of the boat with a cut trashbag.
It’s a bit hard to explain but I will post plenty of pics including some from tomorrow of my boat in the water (hopefully not sinking).
I am soooo excited! 
You guys are gonne be so proud of me! =]
