It would be so heavy it would sink, right?

Thanks to laws of physics that are way over my head, concrete canoes DO float, because the weight of the water displaced is equal to the weight of the the boat. Some UT Tyler students know all about that, and the canoe team there has placed in the top 15 nationally. Nice goin'!
