I am curious as to whether the same boat could be used on both the ocean and lakes.

A boat intended for salt water can be used in fresh water, but its load capacity is reduced because fresh water is less dense than salt water (so, for a given load, the boat floats lower).  Generally, craft intended for fresh water should not be used in salt water because metal parts that are not intended for exposure to salt spray will corrode.

yes , you can do whatever you want in international waters , we used to go deep sea fishing and be able to drink when i was very young . not sure the exact mileage but it took about an hour to get that far

Using solar power an ion drive could be used as well as a solar sail.  The solar sail would be a matter of pointing the craft in the right direction and deploying it.

Yes it can, and it is usually due to volcanic events under the water.

Don't ,you will get ripped off. Best place is Thailand, as the labour is cheap and you can oversee the project yourself with out spending a fortune to exist. I think you need to oversee the project wherever you have it done. I am a ex-seafarer\nAnyway best of luck.i would love to be able to have my boat built to order.

I have been a watercraft tech for 15 years on sea-doo, kawasaki, and honda`s new watercraft for the 2 it`s been out. The 2000 gtx had 2 different models the RFI w/787 engine and the limited w/947 engine.Both are good ski`s but I`d prefer the RFI model. THe 947 needs more maintainance and goes through engines while the 787 will last a long time.If you want a good ride the GTX is what you want.Being a 3 seater it`s longer and rides much better than a 2 seater in choppy water, and isn`t easy to tip over like the 2 seaters are.It is also alot easier to get on to.Also you must have a 3 seater to pull a skier legally.So yes a 2000 GTX would be a perfect personal watercraft for you. Hope this was enough info and you have lots of fun on it!

all three answers are right; if you mean a river boat as in a steam powered stern wheeler, no; you still today cant get a boat from the Mississippi system to the Columbia without taking it overland...google "Lewis and Clark" to see if they portaged their boats...I think they had to abandon them across the Continental Divide, built a boat on the Columbia and came back to their eastern boats later, but I'm not 100% sure on that......

the weight of the water may be too much for a shuttle to take up enough to make a difference

I don't think it could "fall" into the ocean.\nBut if you follow along with global warming rasing the sea level, then at some point if it stayed where it is, that location would be underwater.  I would have to think it would be moved further inland if that happened.

It depends on the temperature of the water and the air but if they are the same, then the ice in the water will melt faster because water is a better conductor for heat.

You can look for it over seas.

It does sound like fun but you have to ask yourself how practical would it really be bearing in mind the varying weather conditions, tides, shipping and navigational hazards that you may or are likely to experience on the Clyde. \n\nYou will also need to look at identifying practical launching and landing sites near to your point of departure and arrival.\n\nWhether it is silly or not depends entirely on your experience and ability as a Kayakist.\n\nI'm not so familiar with the Clyde but knowing the Firth of Forth quite well I can safely say that 2 miles (even in a boat) can seem alot longer not to mention take longer if you suddenly find yourself caught up in bad weather or the wrong side of the tide.\n\nIf you want to use a boat then you will have to think about places to moor or berth.\n\nFor more information on Kayaking contact the British Canoe Union:\n\nhttp://www.bcu.org.uk

Hummm I guess it would depend on several weather factors.. but you can check at the link below to get a first hand info on when its good to go boarding.

If the density of ice were greater than water, rivers and lakes in the north would freeze all the way to the bottom, and any land close to any large body of water that was a solid block of life would be much cooler. If one were far enough north, some lakes might never melt all the way to the bottom.

The United States is definitely one.\n\nFor example, Alaska and Minnesota have tons of lakes.

It depends on what you mean by "ocean". If you mean Salt water then yes. Flounder, Red, Trout, Shark, Ladyfish, Snapper. If you are referring to Deep water, yes but only once, a Kingfish.

Boats do NOT displace more water than they weigh - the amount of water displaced is EQUAL to the weight of the boat. Salt water is heavier per cubic meter than pure water or fresh water, so a smaller amount of salt water would be displaced for the same weight boat. If the density of the solution was extremely high, as in mercury, the boat would appear to sit on top of the liquid.
