You're most welcome...More will be posted as the next steps are completed...here's a couple more that I managed to get outta my camera...





Spare, you've convinced me.. noodles it is...the difference between the foam in place and using pool noodles is not great as far as floatation goes, but I like the idea of having each chamber able to drain into the bilge and get pumped overboard... that's a mighty big benefit....less weight, better fuel economy, better riding boat, dry bilge and foam, etc,...

So far the best price I've found for solid 2 3/4' noodles is $62.95 for 20. Since each noodle can support 200lbs that means that a box of 20 can support up to 4000lbs. I'm going to try and get at least 2 boxes (8000lbs of floatation) crammed into all the nooks and crannys.

As an aside, Stinky mentioned that he's always believed that a boat names itself as it is being rebuilt...that the name just comes to you...
There may be some merit to that. I think that I might name her..... "Noodles"
