Unsinkable Summary

Unsinkable: How to Build Plywood Pontoons & Longtail Boat Motors Out of Scrap by Robnoxious Sutter

A rip-roaring adventure story filled with DIY tips. This is the tale of Robnoxious's journey down the Missouri River in a homemade boat and a manual on how others can do the same. Robnoxious brings a little slice of Huckleberry Finn to the busy modern world as he and his friends journey down the longest river in North America, the Mississippi river system aka 'Big Muddy', in their unsinkable, ever ready craft The Snowball. Rob's adventure and DIY guide is both fun and practical for long summer days on the river.
