Water is 64# per cubic foot.

How'd you arrive at that? 'Cuz I'm driving myself nuts here trying to
convert lbs/gal (8.333) to lbs/cu.ft. and it's not working.

So to support at least 125# and not be
partially submerged, you will need at least 3 cubic feet of milk cartons.

Don't forget to add the weight of at least 3 rolls of duct tape, which
will another 5 lbs.

Go some more, and the boat will float higher, and be easier to paddle. A
rectangle will give the most bouyancy in the smallest area. But, for style
points, make it pointy in front of the rectangle.

Would a shorter wider "beam" provide more bouancy than a longer narrower
one?

What a fun project!
