Humphries Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 there would be a button i would press which would magically turn the car into a boat when i touched water. then i would float by having the characteristics of a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Either a hot air ballon.... frack yeah, or styrofoam, im a cheap ass... we all know it would be packing penuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 do you know what foam they use for pontoon boats? I dont think that soaks up too much water need to support probably about 400 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Pontoon boats use air... basicly sealed barrels, you mean a pedal boat, its just big blocks of styrofoam i think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 they use foam filled metal things i know because we tore one of the things open on a stump on an olds friends and it didnt sink lol and because a lot of the marine foams say for use with pontoons and floating docks and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkrimedpiggy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 i would use ballist (i think thats how its spelled) like a submarine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ballists will help sink, then purge out water to float.... Most pontoon boats ive seen are just air... aluminum tubes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 a poly urethane expanding foam in what ever container you want. for 400lbs i would probably use a few of the 5gallon fry oil containers that have been filled with the expanding poly foam.
