you realize that holding your breath alone will float your 250 some odd lb body without the noodles. your body is slightly less dense than the water supporting you (985kg/m^3 vs 1020kg/m^3 for salt water and 999kg/m^3 for fresh water), so the noodles are truly only supporting about 10# with that extensive laboratory testing.

Are you saying Phelps is Dense?

Its good to see that things haven't changed much while I've been on my iboats forum sabbatical... Now that we have covered noodles vs. foam, does anyone want to revisit trailer bunks vs. rollers, epoxy vs. poly resin, i/os vs o/bs, or maybe even a little glass v. tin.

Cheers to all my bottom feeder brethren :)

It's pretty early in the cold season to be bringing all those great discussions up. You need to wait till February, January at least.:)

Add a discussion on oil and ethanol and we can cover all the bases

Well, I'm working on my new "floating anchor chain" idea while my real 2 part foam is curing

I just read through this one, and would like to speak to someone about a refund....

Oh, how about tastes great or less filling?
