or use the same xtals in both boards...

better yet, get two radios, turn it into a stick radio(get a crappy stick radio from ebay for like $10, change the internals, and ur done

Could do it with fiberglass, only need a layer or so for this application. Very cheap and very easy.

This is true but if it is designed right it'll float. think about huge ocean liners. Unless your talking about propulsion. then I guess I would need power behind it.
Thin aluminum wouldn't be that bad right? WHat would everyone say is the #1 material to use? Thanks for your input so far you've helped a bunch.

The #1 material would be something easy to find, easy to work with, light, and floatable. I would probably say some type of plastic. That's what I think.

dont get me wrong, aluminum will work, it just has its cons, its heavy, expensive, and requires more work to get it to shape. #1 material would be plastic or foam.
