Building Stabilizers: We decided to fabricate two rectangular pontoons to go on each side of the boat to help us balance in the water. We took two full pieces of cardboard and scored them so that there were 4 sections running longways. We folded the pieces up, and made 3 square pieces to help make the pontoons sturdy. After the two pontoons were done and taped we painted them as well.
One problem we ran into was how we would attach the stabilizers on the body of the boat. This was easily remedied however by utilizing the excess cardboard we had on each side. We scored that so that it could move freely, then attached the stabilizers to that so that it could bounce in the water and move as needed.
