For Sale Mako Scooter Black and Red $1000 firm, does not include: battery, charger, shipping from LA. The Mako has a variable pitch propeller, 9 easy to set positions for max thrust and speed at the cost of battery time or min speed to get extended runtime. Advertised thrust of over 50 pounds and 40 minutes of run-time. At the lowest setting: 15 pounds of thrust and 2-hours of run-time. The Mako is simple to operate and maneuver. A tow cord is easily made and will allow for one hand operation. A 1.5 pound soft weight in the nose will give the DPV a neutral nose level position. A green, yellow and red LED battery indicator provides simple monitoring of available �juice� during a dive. Learn on it for a year and then send it in to George for an upgrade to a Gavin. Your cost for the year will be about $200. This is the only scooter that has trade-in value for a Gavin Scooter. Dry history: Local Dive Store Floor Model Wet History: Pool - got myself towed until the battery showed red - took a while Redondo Beach, 80 feet 45 minutes - no surf that day The Palawan, 130 feet 45 minutes - race course Farnsworth, 150 feet 50 minutes - db pick-up Cabrillo Lobster Dive, 20 feet 2 hours - salting the dive with chocolate lobsters Undisclosed movie set, 15 feet 3 days - sworn to secrecy It had a seepage problem in battery compartment - I ended up using strategically placed sponges. Sent to Oceanic for O-Haul, don't know it they fixed it or not! Caveat Emptor Will include a spare set of O-rings if i can find them (may ship at later date, as I have moved and and not all the boxexs are marked) If you really want the battery you can drop by to pick it up. patrick find a picture of a similar dpv at http://www.eboards4all.com/935869/messages/8581.html http://www.oceanicworldwide.com/a-mako.jpg __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
