Low tech floatation-2 litre

[CHANCE1234]

we will all just have to start drinking the beer that comes in the plastic 16oz. bottles. With projects getting started for the winter, shouldn't be more than a week before we have a good supply of floatation devices.

I've been toying with the idea of filling several 6ft lengths of 2" PVC tube with cocaine (using pvc caps + epoxy and cabosil to seal the ends), foaming them in the cavities (under the floor), and running drugs. What do you guys think? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Seriously . . . the bottles are not a bad idea unless the containers fill up with water (somehow).

This is completely off topic . . . but 2 liter bottles - (filled with water and frozen) are a great inexpensive way to keep you fishbox cold all day long.

But going back to the Spruce Goose, how about modern ultralight ping pong size balls?? Or does that lose to much space between them?

For the professional [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] - what about a shape that interlocks and would fit tight??

An old Yankee Boat builder in Connecticut by the name of Earl Brockway was known to use old light bulbs as floatation in the seats of his plywood skiffs.
