   try experimenting which shape of aluminum floats best. For example, I think a box made of aluminum holds more weight than a boat that is made of aluminum. Because it have more surface area contact with water rite? The aluminum boat only touches its middle part in the water.

   so, basically try experimenting. I say go with an aluminum box.

   Use two layers of foil.
   Fold into lidless flat box with the sides about one inch high. Firmly compress all folds to make them leakproof
   Float the “boat” in some water and add marbles.
