Making a Boat out of Cardboard and Ducktape

It's a final physics project. Building a boat out of cardboard and ducktape. You have to be able to fit a 150lb person in the boat and the boat can not be longer than 6' x 4' x 3'. You can use unlimited cardboard and ductape so long the boat stays within the size limits.

How would one go upon doing this? Is there some key to building a successful boat? It only have to fit me in it and I'm 5'8, 125lbs. The smaller the boat, the more points I get assuming I can pilot the boat across a standard length swimming pool.

Any ideas?
 
can you attach ducks to the hull to propel you? would that get you extra marks for having a powered craft?
