Check plumbing supply houses :dontknow:
A couple of years ago I was cleaning out the marts clearance pool noodles and a guy told me to check Ferguson (local plumbing supply).They were giving them away! Free!

Apparently they're made by the same people who make pipe insulation and they dropped at least a couple of trailers full to give away. I got there near the end of them (they'd been giving them away for a month) and filled my F-150's bed with full boxes! They are the smaller 3.5" diameter and some are hexagonal, but they filled all my boats.

Again, that was a couple of years ago, but it might be worth checking.  ;D

I bought a big red one in Orlando a couple of weeks ago but left it there. Oh well, I saw bikinis on sale at Walmart here last week, noodles can't be far behind.

Don't use these folks:

$30 shipping on a $15 order!  Theives!

Anybody come up with a local source yet?  I'm in Tacoma and that's about the last part I need for my kayak cart and transducer install.

I see pool noodles at Fred Meyer now. I assume most stores (target, dollar store, etc) probably have them now.

Physically checked Fred Meyer and Target today.  No noodles.  Called a few more and no joy in Tacoma.

FYI, while in search of the holy grail of batteries here in Bend (12v lead sealed), I made a swing through Wal-Mart ..... Seems they have begun their transition to summer. Didn't see the noodles yet but I think they're gonna appear soon. Pool and water sport stuff is being assembled on the shelves. Might be worth another look in a week.

Fred Meyer had them in stock in Marysville today.How do you guys secure them in a Revo. They had 2 sizes. I bought 2 1/4" x 56". Do I need the larger diameter ones? If so I'll return and get the larger ones.
