So, I got an RC boat that has a gator head that fits on it to scare the kids this summer. Finally got the pool opened up this year and within minutes was testing the boat in the pool. Within a half hour I was trying to tow a Joe on water skis...it did not work. I carved some foam into a ridable raft...closer but needed some fine tuning. I made the raft more of a pontoon and finally had to add some ballast to the back to keep it from submarining on tight turns and whenever the boat stopped. Still needs a name. Best I could come up with os Wave Smacker.
Sghetti string
Insulation foam
