Thanks for the info, mine has the futura speed tubes underneath so I'm a bit puzzled on how to support it?

Haha, I did buy an electric pump at one point but it burned out almost instantly. Now I use the rapid inflation system. A standard dive tank with a first stage regulator, high pressure hose, and a milled aluminum adaptor. Instantly tops it off in seconds!

Mine also does as well. It's the FC470. I've been out of town for two months so my memory wasn't clear. The bunks go just inside of those. It rides up onto them like rails. Sits perfectly flush.

Great, just been looking at your pics again and I see what you mean. Luckily I have some hardwood decking that I could carpet and use as bunks
Thanks again for the advice, I'll keep you posted

Well done Whisper, tell us more! My FC thread has pics on how I supported my tubes etc. Its the speed tubes that make it difficult to use a standard trailer.
If you really wanted a dogs danglies trailer, I could be persuaded to part with mine and build another! Draws the crowds in on the slipway this one!

She's not brand new but a 2012 She has a slatted roll up floor, all the original docs, spare valves, foot pump, clamseal thing and repair kit etc even the carry bag
I still have the Tohatsu short shaft TDLI 50HP which has done about 20 hours, it has PTT and elec start I also have a very powerful gel battery in a peli case. All thanks to Rob at Blackdog Marine (Turbodiesel on here).
Also got 2 x brand new Zodiac fuel bladders and I also picked up a special forces dry bag rucksack thing which is built like a dry suit
I've been collecting these for quite some time in anticipation of the right FC470
You have PM re your trailer

Here is the advert (probably a few years old now).....
This boat is a 2001 Zodiac F470 AZTEC edition. The rarest of all the F470 line. This boat is equipped with additional features that allow it to carry armor. The boat is outfitted with a full aluminum hard deck floor, dual 35 hp johnson outboards with durajets and single point throttle and steering system. Boat does not come with trailer. One of the outboards runs fine and the other needs work. This boat is taking up alot of room and it needs to be gone ASAP. I will seperate the boat and engines or floor system if needed. This boat needs a bit of work, has some slow leaks but is otherwise in fair condition. I am going to list the price for the package at $6000 with outboards but it is VERY negotiable. VERY MOTIVATED TO SALE THIS BOAT! Bring your offers.

No, the MARS de-water system valve is opened, 4-6 pulls to clear the sea water from the heads, intake, cyls, close the valve open the fuel petcock, than start the eng after underH2O submersion.
I read it in in a book once.
Cheers, Squid
