What an absurd question. He's obviously a lobbyist for Big Noodle.

Only the line of rope that goes through the interior hole inside the noodle needs to be tied tight around the waist, while 30"x 2.5" of foam noodle is secured tight with the line.

30" has enough flotation for almost everyone unless you weigh 250-lbs with a bmi of 20.

These noodle belts are basically a three dollar swim buoyancy belt, good for learning to swim, or flotation security for swimming deep, rough, or cold water. It makes swimming the breast stroke or side stroke much more doable because the flotation is centered, and you don't use any swim movement energy to stay on top of the water, horizontally, so you can take your time and slowly swim a long distance without worry about drowning.

With a $19.95 Stohlquist wet suit tee-shirt and a foam noodle flotation belt, swimming out there in the 65-degree cold water on a sunny day is okay to do if you really want to go there. You can stretch the summer swimming till the end of September, and then think about getting a farmer john wetsuit for 55-65 degree water ....... you sometimes surprise yourself with what you can do even in the cold water.

Oopsie ....... so just picture yourself swimming off the back porch on your new Summa Humma 60' motor yacht, using a foam noodle, three dollar swim safe belt in that late September 65-degree water ...... no kidd'n! ...... just add a $3-noodle belt for swimming off your yacht!

Hahaha... If I had a choice, obviously I didn't, I would recommend the fly. But no one asked me. Both versions are awesome. Cruisers keep getting better and better in the build and options. The master stateroom is one of the best. MarineMax will promote, sell and charter many Cruisers 60's Fly or no Fly.

Default Hull color

I guess he didn't like a white hull. Hull was white when hauled out. Now it's taupe.

The post earlier seemed to indicate an inability to distinguish colors.

Still makes no sense. This thread is about the MB Tractor owners yacht not the ability to distinguish colors.
