with that amount of legos and thefact that it looks like the hull isn't sealed it would never float.
Legos are water-tight (within reason of course) when you put them together and, being plastic, they float rather readily. The thing would float no doubt. The problem is that it would be too bouyant and would flip over in a heartbeat. That's what the purpose of the large base it's sitting on is, I'm sure -- it acts as a keel to keep the thing from flipping over.
I beg to differ! I would take ALL my Lego boats in the bath tub and every one of them would take on water! And no, I ain't talking about those "cheater boats" with the one-piece hulls either. I'm talking the bottom of my boat is frickin flat Lego vessels...

I suppose it depends on how you build your boat then. Back in the day, all mine would float very readily without any issues at all.

That must have taken a Dark Age to build. I'm impressed.
And a bit of bank. It's not like Legos are cheap to begin with, never mind that every piece is correctly colored for where he put it. I remember building some pretty big stuff with my Legos, but sometimes it was "spotted" since I'd run out of the right color pieces.

Hee hee hee.... probably a little "blocky" and cool to the touch, but judging from his other projects I bet she's anatomically correct!
