Rhodes Kingfisher - positive floation

There is a good bit of the original positive floatation still in the boat under the stern seat and under the bow.  But I did remove some and wanted to add more.  I have had considerable luck with using swim noodles in the past with my Mariner and decided to do the same here.

My wife got them for $1.00 each at the Dollar Store or Target.  I got 16 of them and put 8 in the bow and 8 in the stern.  I bundled 4 together with duct tape.  They are out of the way and should not interfere with any gear while sailing.

In this picture, you can also see my high-tech bailer made out of a detergent container.  I am trying to keep this on the cheap.
