How to Construct a Simple Boat

Step 9 Launch It

Once everything's ship shape as far as the hull goes, launch your boat. If you haven't made your oars yet, just borrow a paddle. Take it out to see if your seat is where you want it. Take on a passenger, if any are willing, and see how it handles with weight in differing positions. Stay out for longer than just a float check, make sure to pay attention for any leaks.
