The Adventures of Thumper

Love your work :cool2:

Hey hey hey now. As far as I know, I am the only south beach guy here and I knew what you meant

It's only like 30-35 to his house. Same general vicinity

Thumper has a Mil Spec roll up floor, but not the Hard Deck.
This boat is Avon CRRC (UK) and rare in the states, very few of these boats survived being cut up/destroyed.
The Britts and NATO kept a tight lid on them.
The Zodiac FC- 470 is similar, but the floor through ZodiacMilPro is 4k :@.
Many of the surplus hard decks were scraped, when the gov sells FC-470 boats by the container full, some have been ''decommissioned'' with 3 foot cuts though the hull and all presure valves removed or lost, and no floors at all.
The hard floors were only used for some missions. I know of one in Florida that may be for sale in a month.

Cheers, Don

I am sure have seen this and contacted the guy to see if he has anything better, but just in case
RARE 1999 ZODIAC FC470 AZTEC

Good find. Dammit, even with holes in it, it looks sexy! I can't explain it. The whole idea of a zodiac kicks ass. It holds a special place in our hearts, I guess.

I did some diving off a friend's zodiac when I lived in Kuantan, Malaysia. Badass boat. We went out to some of the islands offshore north of Tioman...open sea out there. ...well, the South China Sea anyway. Very stable.

How does one go about getting one of these Don? I am very interested in doing so. This little guy needs me to come home for the next 20 years or so....until I get him through medical school haha His face pops in my head a LOT when I'm in the water.

Many thanks my friend.

nice

I had a spooky dream last night about diving, so I'm cutting off any more funding on Thumper until a have moneys for Terry Maas's Mark FRV vest. Today I decided I have had enough close calls and I owe it to my family.
Terry has the FRV mark 2 at $1100.0 bucks for the first 50, I'm on the list.
I'll keep going on the labor as best I can for now.

Cheers, Don

WOW that is a awesome deal!
