I don't know, if I had a boatload of boat plates, I might play with
making a hull from them (one could also slightly change the lines of a
boat by alternating between boat bow bricks and plates). Also 1x10 or
longer and 2x8 or longer are probably ok in small quantities (I suspect
they wouldn't travel more than a stop or two in the box). Uncommon
colors would also be ok in small to moderate quantities.

Of course Raleigh is one of those multi-person stops... I'm sure James,
Phil, and Karim would be game for it.
