    Default FS: 9"6" Inflatable Boat

    We've had this one on the Santa Fe and Suwannee rivers. It holds two people with doubles (and basic cave gear) nicely, but three would not work in my opinion. The two sets of doubles lay on the floor and the divers ride the inflated sides.

    This is an older BOAT US avon-like inflatable with plywood floor. The floor is in three sections for easy breakdown and transport. The boat deflates, folds and rolls up and goes into a canvas car top carrier. One person can do it all. Foot pump, but I use an inflator on my lp hose to save time.

    No holes, no patches, well-used but no wear spots, etc. I expect many more years of use with no problems. Up to 8-hp outboard (not included). Oars and oarlocks (included).

    It gets up on a plane easily and shoots across the water, although I have not tried this on the rivers fully loaded with dive gear!

    $750.00.

    I also have a long-shaft Nissan 8hp outboard, with external 3 gallon gas tank and a 6-gallon gas tank, for sale too. It's what I've been using for 10 years now and it runs every time without problem or hesitation (I have changed plugs from time to time). Not the best outboard for the rivers of Florida due to it's long-shaft, but it can be partly raised for those shallow areas. $600.00

    Both together for $1100.00

    Can deliver to KY, MO, AL, AR, GA, FL....

    Default pictures added

    Here's a few pictures. First one is the boat, second one shows the pieces of flooring (not installed), and the last one is the motor.

    I will also consider trading boat and motor (or one or both) for a scooter.

    I'll be at the sept meeting of the NSS/CDS in poplar bluff. Is that soon enough? or maybe we can meet and do a dive or two one day sooner, somewhere near to you; where you can try the outboard and I can try the scooter! I'm busy this saturday, but free after that until the next saturday.

    You better go with them, because if you wait until the Workshop when I am there, it will rain for sure
