    Since we’re being extra pedantic, what I said was:

    As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.

    This is factually true, and you didn’t disprove it.

    As for “boat wall sticking out of the water”, that’s just grasping at straws man. If that boat is fully waterproof, like a submarine, the definition holds up. Or if you consider that water entering the boat adds to the boat weight, then again it will hold true as it will weigh more than the water it displaces.
