Just scored an Awesome Deal!!

Look what I just got!
I was able to get a Zodiac fc470 with a 55hp motor for $1500!!
I guess living next to a Navy Seal training base has its perks after all.
It looked like a bag of roller up plastic till I got it home and pumped it up.
No holes or repairs and the motor starts right up!

Bargain Does it have a floor?

[engarom]

Actually it has three. I got the roll up aluminum one, the solid aluminum one and they even had a wooden one to boot!
I made the engine stand from a shopping cart!

That is an outrageous deal!!!

If there are any more available at that price, they'd be worth scooping & flipping for a very nice profit!

Those are as rugged a SIB as you'll find anywhere.
