Bonex Reference RS DPV

[IowaCaveDiver]

Bonex Reference RS DPV, 2017 production year, fully serviced, new motor, new battery, new seals, tested and ready to dive. Charger and tow cord included. Also added extended "T" handle.
The story of this DPV... purchased new in 2018. A year or so later I bought another one, used, but identical. Dove them both interchangeably for a couple years, all fresh water cave diving. April 2021 the used Reference flooded on a dive (shaft seal failure). I ordered a new battery from subgravity and waited 9 months to get it from Germany. Then found out the motor was toast also... ordered a new motor, waited 4-5 months for arrival. Also did the full service kit... every o-ring, seal, shaft seal and port plugs. Then i pulled the original motor and battery from this dpv (the pictured unit in this ad), serviced the flooded one and sold it. Once the new motor arrived, I assembled this unit with new motor, new battery, all seals/ports and shaft seal and also replaced the sight glass and seal (small clear port that lets you see the battery light indicators through the hull). So essentially this is a new DPV in a 2017 hull/shroud/nose cone. $3600+ in new parts/service.
This specific unit has never been flooded.
These retail for $7,000.
$5300, pickup in Jacksonville, FL, meetup in Cave Country or shipped at buyers expense (prefer not to do this method).
