[QUOTE="minuteman62-64, post: 366107, member: 15157"] Been reading up on floatation needs. I've got the original (from 1982) foam blocks under my seats and filled voids in the compartments behind the rear seat (where PO had removed foam) with pool noodles. I now realize that the pool noodles only provide about 1/2 the floatation that would be provided with foam in the same compartments. So, looking for alternatives. Because of the way the rear compartments of my boat are constructed, the floatation has to be inserted through a 9" diameter hatch and has to be removable. I was looking at the inflatable bladders the kayak guys use and was wondering if anyone makes more rectangular shaped bladders that would be applicable for my situation. Anybody seen anything like this? I'd need bladders that inflate to about 18"x18"x16". [/QUOTE]
