I have the following for sale: The incredible historic Aquazepp that 
was used by Paul Heinerth on the first Wakulla project in 1987.

This is the actual scooter that Paul rode on his record 4176 ft. push 
into B tunnel. A record shattered by WKPP efforts.

The scooter known by the names "Enterprise" and "Klingon Kruiser" is 
the large 714T model, weighs 148lbs dry but is appox. 9 lbs negative in 
water. Powered by 4 - 12 volt 24 amp Gel cell batteries, is extremely 
fast, has 4 speed settings, and redundant circuitry. The redundant 
circuitry is controlled by a main external power switch, What it does 
is switch the 4 batteries from a 24 volt (series) setting to a 12 volt 
(parallel) setting.  While certainly not the most current state of the 
art, lacking the solid state circuitry that makes the AUL predator and 
the WKPP scooters so much more efficient, It is still extremely fast 
and is still a relatively long running scooter. 

Sale price is $1900.00 (U.S.)or I might be willing to trade for one of 
those historic Wakulla Rolex (not Casio) Watches. The price does not 
include the batteries but I know a source that will sell them to me for 
$50.00 (new) and I will be happy to help you get them.

While I don't anticipate anybody actually wanting to buy this monster, 
perhaps I can donate it to the Smithsonian and get a good tax write 
off.

Please send any answers, offers, suggestions, comments, flames, slings 
and arrows to:
