Loretta, I saw many Sampans in China this past year made of large diameter PVC pipe sealed at the ends. They could carry literally tons of cargo on 6-8 8inch pipe 15 feet long secured together and powered by outboards. I plan to use them to make my swim platform, 8 ft X10 ft , this next summer. I saw these things hold 6-8 people and not be tippy or even appear to sink any.
