In Response To: 720? 740? *NM* (Shawn Baker)

If the 740 is like the spring valve I've seen in some float bags my $.02 is nope. sometimes they get pushed too far into the tube for the reversed caps to let the air out, they can be a bother to deflate in a hurry. I could imagine those 1" diamater pull openings would be good for quick deflation on paddle floats,,,deflating one of those things quickly is one of it's shortcomings. Actually having a pint of water in one makes sense for useing it well and having a big deflation hole would help draining and filling them with water,,just wouldn't want it to pop open in use. That's one of the things I've liked about float bags with those pull openings, it's easy and quick to deflate and put them away when taking boats out.
