[PSUBS-MAILIST] New Asset - Zodiac Cadet 390 Tender

[David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles]

Douglas, Sounds like a nice setup. We will be bringing our 9 ft achilles
hard bottom rib boat with an electric motor as a support vessel as well.
Currently I am adding a few mounts for a bimini top and replacing the old
handles. Should be good as new with a few extras.
Best Regards,
David Colombo
