I don't know. Where will she sail your car? Also, don't you think it takes a few more to make it unsinkable. Doesn't look like she's driving a Smart.
:D

Oodles of Noodles

Postby whitejw1967 » Fri Jun 11, 2010 4:44 pm

I put 50 in the bilge area AND in front of the cuddy (between the bow and the front of the cuddy (I had to put an inspection port at the front of the bow to put on a new forestay chainplate). Just in case (and at less than a dollar each, one of the least expensive things I've done to the boat).

Of course the noodles will help only if the bilge area takes on water which it shouldn't do unless there's a major catastrophe. Then again, you can always take 'em out and use them in the water.

Cheers and happy sailing!

Mine's actually a DS1, so it's all seats and bow, but I thought the picture was funny. Woman at the stor wanted to know where the pool party was.

As much as the SUV weighs, it'd take a hot air ballon sized tank to float it.
Formerly 28 cents
DS1 1114

Now, sadly, powered boating...
