This shouldn't last long!

Ok here's the deal. Free to someone in the club that doesn't mind sweat equity. Who will come and get it out of my yard and will get it back in the water and will take me out a couple of times next summer. It was working fine when I last used it a couple of years ago but has been sitting unloved ever since because my buddies that used to dive with me are gone and I am getting too old and to poor to own a boat. It hauled four divers with 2 tanks each without problems. It looks pretty neglected right now but once cleaned up it don't look bad at all. It is a very solid hull with solid floors that will take some pretty rough water without a fuss.

It's a 19' 78 model Bell boy with full canvas set up for diving, It has a ford 140 hp v8 omc outdrive and a custom dive ladder. It is sitting on a caulkens trailer w hydralic brakes. The seats are functional but covers are pretty sad. It was running fine and the only problem at the time is the wiper motor quit which can be a problem in WA.

It will need a few hours of cleanup and some TLC but it's a solid ole rig that will get you there and back if your willing to do the work. In addition I will require that you transfer the title when you pick it up so I'm not on the hook should you damage someone or something with it.

These pix where taken while I was activly using her but she has a couple years of grime on her now.

There are times when I really HATE that I am a non-mechanical klutz.

This is one of them.

Tom, just get it and fix it. As a mechanic and fix everything kind of guy I can tell you that loads of money can replace those skills!

I'll be over to look at it day after tomorrow if that's okay. And if I take it, I don't have far to go!

Seriously, we are very interested. We're heading back home from Boise tomorrow evening, should get home some time Wednesday morning. After a bit of a rest, I'd like to come check it out.

Oh my. If that deal doesn't work out I would take you out on all the dives you wanted. Just would have to be in the morning as I work at 2pm
