After months of research, planning, and expert engineering, our family home evening boats were ready to test the waters. While the duct tape exterior proved rugged enough to handle the stormy seas, the cardboard interior showed a lack of performace when water logged. Here's how the precise scientific process was carried out:
1. Gage yells "Ready, Set, Go!" and the boats are thrown into the water, hopefully landing in appropriate positions for a sea voyage. (Scientific side note: often the boats did not land accordingly, thus the "water loggedness". We at the Higgfarm institute are sure that had they remained always upright, the cardboard would not have collapsed and our designs would be raking in millions.)
2. Run, shrieking at the top of lungs, alongside the boats and rescue if they become lodged among bolders and sticks. The scientific equation sp^2/(3t x 4.47f)^3 will give you the speed of the boats compared to the speed of the runners/shriekers.
3. Retrieve boats from end grating in a degrading a manner. Be sure lovely lab assistant* takes pictures of you and your brother conducting scientific experiments. Repeat steps 1-3 at least 62 times.

Kind of reminds me of a similar experiment with the lab assistant and her siblings in Liberty Park some twenty years or so ago. Except, of course, that Pappy built wooden boats for everybody. And they actually floated upright.
