Rowboats and Rafts

River rafting is dangerous because of the uncertainty of the rivers you'll be riding, every river rafting trip differs from the other even though you went on the same river.

try to cover as much surface area as possible.

Michael's son burnt the first raft, because he didn't want to leave the island.

the first boat was built in 1560 and the people who used them were African people.

Are you in the water, is land anywhere insight, are there people with you, are you alone, is the raft upside down, or is it submerged underwater? Also: Ocean, Lake, River, or Pool?

Every outfitter varies, but O.A.R.S.' whitewater rafting trips (2011) cost anywhere between $1,796/person to $5,022/person for trip lengths of 4-16 days. It includes 2-person shared tents, (sometimes sleep kits too), transportation to the river and back, all food (catered camping) and related river equipment. There are many different sections that you can run in the canyon, and the dories (wooden-fiberglass boats) have a different schedule and pricing each season.

All I can tell u is that I have one just in case u r looking for one.

Rowing boats used to be made out of wood. But due to our more advanced technology nowadays, many rowing boats are made of fiberglass.

Travel on water is generally measured in knots (nautical miles per hour). The fastest speedboats today are cruising briefly at speeds over 200 miles per hour. However, a lot will depend on the type of cargo and the size of the vessel. Most boats comfortably travel at around 18-20 knots and cruise ships (weighing in at around 80,000 tons) cruise at about 13 knots. It depends on the horsepower. A boats speed all depends on the pitch of the wheel or propeller. It has a LOT to do with the hull too. I'll give you a real-world example: Marty Stone is a professional bass angler who uses 200-horse Mercury engines on his boats. He can go 75mph, no problem at all. Bass boats are made so very little of them is in the water when they're on plane. I went to WorldCat's website and looked at prop test data for the smallest center console they make that runs over-200hp engines. Those boats come out of the factory with two outboards, and there's not a configuration and power setting available that will push that boat faster than about 58mph. Horsepower ain't everything, folks; if it was, the 77-foot Hatteras with twin 2400-horse MTU diesels could outrun an unlimited hydroplane. The 175,000 pounds the boat weighs might have something to do with its relative pokiness.

well you can check recorder book 2 from the beginning it should have it there!!! :)

To determine the year your Arkansas Traveler boat was made, check for a Hull Identification Number (HIN) located on the transom or the upper right corner of the hull. The HIN is a 12-character code, where the 10th character indicates the year of manufacture. You can also refer to any registration documents or labels that may provide the production year. If still uncertain, contacting the manufacturer or a local boating authority may help clarify the boat's age.

The sail on the Kon-Tiki was made of balsa wood, which was used for the raft itself. The sail itself was crafted from traditional materials, specifically cotton and linen, to capture the wind effectively during the voyage. This design was inspired by ancient South American sailing techniques, emphasizing the use of readily available materials for ocean navigation.

Yes, a rowboat is propelled forward by the force of its oars against the water. When a rower pulls the oars through the water, they push the water backward, which, according to Newton's third law of motion, generates an equal and opposite reaction that propels the boat forward. The effectiveness of this propulsion depends on the rower's technique and the design of the oars.

Inflatable Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) are not permitted on certain types of boats, particularly when the vessel is less than 16 feet in length, such as canoes and kayaks. Additionally, inflatable PFDs cannot be used on personal watercraft (PWCs) or during activities that involve high-impact situations, like water skiing or wakeboarding. It's essential to check local regulations, as rules may vary by region. Always prioritize safety and ensure compliance with specific boating guidelines.

To find a serial number on an old boat, start by checking the hull identification number (HIN), typically located on the transom (the back of the boat) or near the driver's console. Look for a metal plate or a stamped area on the hull, often near the registration numbers. Additionally, inspect storage compartments, the engine, or any documentation that may have come with the boat, as serial numbers can sometimes be recorded there as well. If the boat is a vintage model, consulting the manufacturer's records may also help identify the serial number's location.
