Thought I'd swing by and introduce myself. Been lurking for a couple of months now, looks like a great community with a bunch of good people. Picked up a 78 Nordic with a BBF and a Dominator pump a couple weeks ago (pics when I get time). I'm up in MT, so its a short season for me. Ready for my first newb question??? The bow of the boat has 8-10 pvc bladders stuffed up in it, they are 2' in diameter, and about 1' across (about the same size as a mylar party balloon). Would this actually keep the point of the bow a little above water if my dumb ass managed to sink it? :'( Or should I just pull them out so I have more storage room? Thanks, looking forward to participating here!

You could probably yank em out. If you do sink it there is usually enough air trapped in the bow to keep the nose up.

Sweet. ;D There will be 5-6 life jackets up there too, so that will help. Thanks, man.

Oh Johnny.....Without selling the boat Ron wouldn't have any play money for his raceboats....... ;) Don't you worry. Plans for a new boat are in the works... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Traded the boat for rocks, eh? Sounds like a traitor in our midst. On the other hand, I heard rocks don't use much premium, maybe he's smarter than he seems...... :sly:

Ya well, we don't have the bar on smart set real high around here. :P

Alright, I should fit right in....(says the guy that forgot the plug the first time he put the new boat in. At least I remembered before I got out of the truck, and was able to pull just out of the water and throw it in.) :banghead:

Welcome. Remove those PVC pipes and put a truck tire tube in there and pump it up. I never ran anything in my bow though. Good luck with the Nordic.
