Okay, okay, so I couldn't build a boat! The Professor improvised with gadgets and concocted some pretty wild antidotes, but I MUST refute something. Despite what you
hear, the Professor never built a nuclear reactor or a satellite communications system out of clam shells. Here is an inventory of what he DID build:
a bamboo lie detector (hooked up to the ship's horn and the radio's batteries)
a coconut shell battery recharger
a bamboo telescope
a Geiger counter
jet-pack fuel
a bamboo xylophone
keptibora-berry extract to remedy Gilligan's double vision
an assortment of tonics, antiseptics, poisons, "spider cider" (to kill off gargantuan morning spiders) and even a batch of nitroglycerine
soap made from plant fats
shark
repellent
a pedal-powered bamboo sewing machine
lead radiation suits and make-up (protection from a meteor's cosmic rays)
a helium balloon (rubber raincoats sewn together and sealed with tree sap)
a strychnine serum
that temporarily paralyzes Gilligan
an electrode linked to to a pedal-powered generator
a washing machine, water pump and telegraph, all pedal-powered
Okay, okay, so I couldn't 
a bamboo lie detector
