The concurrent entrees and their points are as below. Jackattack225: 12 (1st) Flair: 5 Defense: 3 Buoyancy: 4 Boat The way the boat falls apart offers extra props to stand on, and it seems like the boat can hold up, but its more designed with some tricks up its sleeve. It looks pretty buoyant, especially with the extra props below and on the sides of it. The idea of having a boat that gives you more utility as it gets destroyed is excellent. Zzoppa: 11.5 (2nd) Flair: 3 Defense: 3.5 Buoyancy: 5 Boat The boat is very long, which provides options for where to stand. It will definitely get a couple of eyes on it, which is also a bad thing. If someone were elevated higher or knew where to shoot, they could leave the barriers intact. This might be able to be mitigated by the amount of buoyant props in the core. Definitely seems like a bullet sponge. Staps: 11 (3rd) Flair: 3 Defense: 3 Buoyancy: 5 Boat I sort of like the shape of the boat, looks like a big arrow. However depending on how its faced towards the enemy it could really be demolished. It looks very buoyant, and the countermeasure prop looks incredibly helpful in keeping it alive. Firedox: 10 (4th) Flair: 2.5 Defense: 3.5 Buoyancy: 4 Boat Looks like a mix of props put together, but it has a pretty good theme of defense. However, if someone were to know where to shoot with a sniper it could be taken down easily from the inside out. It does look like the countermeasure special prop could aid that, however. From the props I see inside, it looks pretty buoyant. Connor: 10 (4th) Flair: 3 Defense: 2 Buoyancy: 5 Boat First image with two boats, and I like to see different ways to fight. The defense, however, is extremely questionable. I remember when table meta was a thing, and its glory days are definitely no longer here. With the right weapons and focus it seems really easy to be able to get those boats off of the map before the round finishes. However, they both look really buoyant on their own.
