That answer is a yes because every boat can float in salt water.

Why do boat sink deeper in salt water than fresh water?
Thats not true. Salt water is more dense than fresh water so the boat wont sink as much
Will a boat sink more in fresh water or salt water?
The boat will sink lower in fresh water. Try floating in the ocean versus your pool. You will see it is easier to stay afloat in salt water.
Can a blow up boat work in salt water?
If you mean an inflatable boat - sure
At what conditions will lightning strike fresh water or a boat in fresh water rather than a tree on the shoreline?
== == water with out salt water with out salt
Boat travels from river into the ocean does it sink or rise when it enters the salt water?
rise because the salt water is denser... i think...
Does the amount of water affect the way a boat floats?
A boat will float sideways if the water is too shallow and it touches bottom. Boats will float higher in water with greater salt content. If you fill a boat with water it begins to sink deeper. It all depends on whether you are talking about water outside the boat or water inside the boat.
Why does a boat float in salt water but not a penny?
penny's aren't tall enough!
What will make a boat hold weight?
How much weight a boat will hold depends on the volume of the boat. This is called displacement. displacement is exactly equal to the weight of the water the boat displaces, that is the boat makes a hole in the water. The volume of that hole times the weight of water (64 lbs for salt water, 62.4 for fresh water) - displacement. The volume of water displaces is equal to the volume of the boat.
What boat trailers are the best for salt water craft?
Salt water is damaging to any boat trailer. The best trailers you can get if you plan on venturing into salt water are galvanized or aluminum boats. All Marine Trailers Inc. has great quality aluminum boat trailers at low prices. I can guarantee you'll be happy with their custom made trailers. Give them a call at (786)470-0359
Do boats float more in salt water?
Because according to the principle of Archimedes: "Any body immersed in a liquid undergoes a bottom-up thrust equal to the weight of liquid displaced" When submerged, the boat displaces water. Since salt water has greater weight per unit volume (density) than fresh water, the weight of the displaced salt water is higher. So the ship receives a bigger push in salt water than in fresh water. So it floats more.
Where are boat ramps usually located?
Boat ramps are usually located on deep water with riprap around them. Boat ramps are hard to find in salt water becaue many places have mechanical launching.
Does salt water or fresh water affect the flotation height of an object?
yes An object, like a boat for example, will sink into the water until the weight of the water it displaces equals the gross weight of the object. Since salt water is denser than fresh water, a boat will sit slightly higher in salt water. (That's why the Mythbusters needed far fewer ping pong balls to raise a boat from the bottom of the bay than they originally calculated; they based their calculation on the fresh water boyancy of the ping pong balls.)
