Frequently Asked Questions
What shallow water polyethylene buoys do you make?
Poly mooring buoys (18 and 24 inch, 96.5 lb and about 220 lb net buoyancy), barrier floats / pick up buoys (24" diameter x 36" length and 18" diameter x 30" length), SP 10/60 can and nun spar buoys (10 x 60 inch), and the M-711LP inland water buoy.
Are they foam filled?
Yes. All of our poly buoys are filled with 2 lb closed-cell foam: the poly mooring buoys, barrier floats / pick up buoys, SP 10/60 spar buoys and the M-711LP. The poly mooring buoys, barrier floats and M-711LP are completely foam-filled, so there is no hollow chamber to flood if the hull is holed.
