I came up with 12.8 lbs based on the assumption that the noodle is solid 2 3/4" diameter x 5'long AND that seawater that the noodles will displace if submerged weights in at 64 lb/cu ft. I was going to post how he//a strong I must be when I can submerge one while swimming with my arm fully extended. LOL I know it will work, just funny math.
Destroyer, Ever consider making some limber holes to allow the water to drain from all compartments?
