Step 3 Building the hull

There are many ways to design the hull for your solar boat. To begin, use the pink foam or material you found for the hull. You should use a material that will float well. Use a marker to draw a boat design. Any design will work, but for an optimal boat design, see the tips about drag discussed later. Make sure it is large enough to float the motor and solar panel! Be creative! **ADULT HELP NEEDED!!** Using a hobby knife or serrated blade, cut out your boat shape.
