They're pointing out that aircraft carriers are heavy as fuck and float just fine.

No electric, though. If it had electric, it would be too heavy. And if there was a shark 10 feet away? Not a chance.

You sound like a great MIT professor.

Fair enough.

I guess I assumed that people were thinking of electric-battery powered boats based on the discussion. But if its just a matter of weight, we all know that boats can be arbitrarily heavy and still float (as long as they are big enough to compensate for that weight).

... we all know that boats can be arbitrarily heavy and still float ...

I can point to one person who doesn't know.
