Default Single person boat built out of two liter bottles

As it should float very high, would you consider a vessel that was not
necessarily water tight?


I've been thinking about that recently and I've come to the conclusion
that because I want to build a boat out of just 2 liter bottles
connected together in some way, the boat won't be water tight. But,
I'm okay with that.

To answer others questions.
Yes, it would be easier just to buy a premade boat of some sort.
But I don't want to do that.
Here's the thing. I don't really have a big need for a boat. I don't
have a lot of use for a boat. I don't figure I'll use this thing tons
if I ever do get it built and it doesn't fall apart the first time it
gets wet.

So, yes, it is sorta silly to spend the time and the energy to even
try to build a boat like this, even when I have no idea if I'll be
successful. But that's part of the reason why I want to do it. I
like to do things that are a little bit silly and don't seem to have
much of a point sometimes. I don't think that life should always be
about doing things the right way or the easy way or the way that makes
sense.

Thank you to all who have made suggestions of different ways to go
about this project. You've helped me to look at some things in
different ways.
Please keep the ideas and suggestions coming.
