Sad day. I have decided to sell my Bombard/Zodiac dive boat. I purchased this boat new in 2001 from Inflatable Boat Works here in Portland Oregon. I have garaged this boat from day one, hull is treated several times a year and it is in great condition ready to dive.

Bombard C-5 Commando, length 15’ 5”, beam 6’ 3”. Max seating 9, (Dives 4 very well even with doubles), max load 2535 lbs. This boat gives you maximum deck space for length.

The boat has the following custom made options.
Stainless steel framed padded bench seat with storage pockets, boat cover, custom 1½” aluminum padded light bar with running lights, mahogany electronics shelf, wiring harness with fuse panel for electronics, Hummingbird depth/fish finder, Custom folding Bimini top, front bench seat with vertical tank rack, anchor with 200’ 3/8” line, folding rope & PVC ladder, 7 ½ gallon gas tank, battery, sea anchor, dive float, carry cases and boat manuals.

Motor is a 1986 Suzuki DT-40hp tiller control with direct injection oil with about 200 hrs on it. Runs great and has a extra prop included.

Trailer is a 1988 Ez-Loader Galvanized single axel. Trailer was completely rebuilt 2 years ago with new bunks, wiring, sealed led running lights, and folding tongue. Axel was replaced with a factory new axel, and tires and rims upgraded with Galvanized rims and larger 13” tires. Also mounted spare with extra spare tire included.

I am going to list it here first before I place it online.
$5900.00

I wish I could afford it, Charles. Unless you're willing to take $50 a month for the next 5 years....

New priorities. Looking at houses right now and probably not going to be able to get a place with a 3 car garage. I do not want to store it outside. I have sure had some great dives off this boat.

I can't park it on the street outside my place...

I need to buy a truck and a house first...

Saturday was a very sad day in the Aquanautchuck household. Scuba Kat moved to a new home in California. :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: She moved in with a very loving "SCUBA DIVING COUPLE" in Modesto. They drove all the way up to pick her up and have told me I can come down and visit her any time I want to go diving. She will be really missed but we close next Tuesday on our new home and Di and I will be real busy for the next year or two. So I want to thank all those friends on the board that dove with me on the Scuba Kat for some really great dives. Especially Sparky when we dove Rosie's Ravine and saw the huge 6 Gill.

Good luck with all things Charles, it sounds like you found a great home for Scuba Kat,
I hope when things calm down for you and Di that you'll drop back in on yur dive buddies here.

Take good care of each other.
