That question has no answer, because I don't own a boat. But regarding
any boat in general, if the boat is afloat, then its density is less than 1.0 .

How are density and the ability of a boat to float related?
According to Archimedes' Principle (which he described in his treatise On Floating Bodies) a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. In the case of a floating boat, if the average density of the boat and the air within its hull is less than the density of the water, the mass of the water displaced as it settles into the water will be equal to the to the total mass of the boat but it will displace a volume less than the volume of the boat, thus enough of the boat will remain above the water to allow it to float.
Why do boats with water sink?
When the density of entire assembly (boat, peoples, products, equipments, water etc.) has a density greater then the water density the boat is sinking.
Which force determines whether or not an object will float?
This is archemedies principle. This is a balance between the force on the water displaced by gravity compared to the force on the floating object due to gravity. That is if the average density of the object that whishes to float is less then water then it will float. If it is greater then it will sink.For a boat the average density is the average of the density of the hull and the air inside the hull.
What part of the boat makes it float?
The boat floats because the entire boat - including any air contained within - has a total density less than the density of the water.
How does a boat not sink?
the boat has equal or less density than the water. :P
What is the average density of cfrp?
Density depends on laminant, which is why there is no average density for CFRP
What is the density of a boat?
d=m/v
How does changing the shape of the metal affect the density of the boat?
Indeed yes. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. If all the mass were concentrated in one lump, your boat would no longer float. If the metal walls of the boat were a little thinner, you'd have more boat volume, and lower density.
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
What in the average density of Pluto?
The average density of Pluto is 1,830 cubic meters.
How does a heavy boat floats on water?
They have strong wood, and are mechanical crates to lift them aboard.
Why does water density affect boats floating?
The water density is higher than the boat's therefore it floats on the water.
