I purchased this new in 2000. Cost then $1785 + shipping. The same unit now only with a 4 HP Honda is $2249. In terms of condition, the pictures tell it all. The muffler doesn't even have discoloration from being used. I would guess I have a Max of 20 hours on it. It works wonderfully. Only...I often dive in residential areas where the gas engine running is a nuisance. I have gone to a DC unit and am struggling with the weight and run time issues with battery power. You can see how large the gas tank is. It runs 2.5 hours on that tank full. I usually dive shallow, detecting in 3-5' of water, and one can run the engine at reduced RPM and lower the noise level. Did it with my son and I in about 3' of water. If you are going to do 60' then run it full tilt. You can tell the engine is running from the noise and the vibration in the hose. When it stops, you still have 3 full breaths of air in each hose. For anything deeper than 10' I have spair air. I DO NOT want to sell this to anyone who has not had the training to use underwater breathing apparatus. If you decide to purchase this, somewhere down the line I would like to see a copy of your certification card. I am aware this may limit my chances to sell it. I do want to see it sell as I can't justify two hookah rigs. Comes with the Honda shop manual and of course the manual that came for the Hookah. $1250 and we share shipping. It cost $45 to get my DC unit from the East to the West coast by UPS as a guesstimate on shipping. Regards...Jim
