Continuing on with our biodiesel unit came the culminating news. We had to build a boat. I'm not much of a boatitecht (get it...architecture but boats instead?...) but I knew that it wasn't going to go well. Of course I had multiple ideas running throughout my mind of what I wanted to build my motor around. I wanted the most efficient and fastest way possible.
My dad was a huge part in this project, because he helped me get the basis of my boat started up, and my partner and I were able to take off from there. The block scheduling had really come in handy as the 90 minutes that we were given to test run our boat and make changes had greatly benefited us.
Overall, our boat was considerably fast compared to all the classes. Watching it cross the finish line in 16. something seconds was a bit of a rush as knowing that my partner and I had accomplished something that we both had viewed as a challenge.

Your boat did really good and it was scary seeing someone do that good right off the bat. I know it set the standard that other boats had to beat.
