I bought the smallest cheapest fender at a marina and marked it with my name. Works fine.

You can use almost anything that'll float well enough. Some people use an empty plastic bottle, like a bleach bottle. Considered by some to be a little on the ghetto side. If you go that route, make sure the bottle has a screw top, or, you'll be screwed. Lots of anchor bouys out there for sale. Just check any of teh marine suplly websites or stores.

Go to Big Five sporting goods or Walmart, and buy yourself a tetherball. They have a built in anchor point, come in either white or yellow, and are cheap and last forever. They work great!!

found my anchor bouy floating down the river one morning, I think a pwc'er lost it because it was from bert's mega mall
EDIT: is this considered stealing? no one else was on the water

You know it will, I look at it this way. If you take offense to something, you deserve to be offended. People are too damn sensitive these days. No sense of humor. :D
I was in a bind once and used an orange PFD as a buoy. Worked great.

Would'nt offend me, I think it's a cool idea.....:D
BTW, I had the tetherball for about 4 years, finally broke the mounting lug off, I think someone ran over it.....
Currently using an old fender.....(I feel so ghetto)
I'm thinkin about some type of waterfowl decoy for the new one....

It'd be funny to get one of those fake rubber turds and bond it to a floatie...no one would steal a floating turd, would they? :eek:

Rubber Turd
Fake Doodie $3.49
All-Purpose Fake Doodie
Not as specialized as either of the other two shits we carry at fartmart.com, this is just your basic pile of shit. Hey-you get what you pay for. This serves it's purpose though. Looks real enough that if you saw it on the sidewalk in the winter, you would expect to see smoke rising from it (if you live in a warm climate, that means it looks real). Also may be used with the Fart Spray. Hey, we better stock a shitload of Fart Spray-get it??? SHITLOAD!!!
Buy the fake rubber turd here (http://www.fartmart.com/display.asp?sku=19&rP=searching,cat@Fake+Doodie)

Get a spare thong from your old lady, or use a empty carton from a 30 pack. No one will miss either one of those!
