Roblox Idea

Smart tip: Mix your layout!

Use metal for the bottom, gold in the center, and wood on top. That way, you float better and still survive some hits!

Scenario: Sinking risk too high?

Total weight over 60

You might get a “Too heavy” rating. Try replacing some blocks with wood.

Can you make the perfect boat?

There’s no perfect answer – but this calculator helps you get really close. Try different combos and see how your stats change. More defense? Less weight? It’s up to you.

Roblox Quote

Quote: Simple boats often work best
