LISTING DETAILS :

The description for this and many other boats in this section are going to suffer from a lack of photos and video as I have a LOT of boats to go through one at a time to document for full listings. 

This boat will be sold in fully tested, ready to run condition. If you are confident in my ability to furnish the boat as described, I urge you to purchase immediatley rather than wait. If you need or want to wait for a full series of photos and operational video, that is your perogative, but if another buyer purchases in advance, you will miss out. 

A quick overview of this boat many others can be found in my weekly update video found here at the 18 minute mark. 
 
SHIPPING TIME and COST: 
 
The final checks with photos and video for the new owner will be processed on a first-come and first-served basis. I will communicate an estimated ship date upon purchase of the boat based on workloads and the evaluation queue ahead of you. 

Shipping is NOT included in the price due to the size of the model. Shipping and crating will be billed separately once we know where we are shipping to. 

DESCRIPTION: 

This is a gorgeous representation of a German Type IXC u-boat, built by an exceptionally talented builder out of Canada by the name of Helmut, who built three other dry hull boats that have come through the Nautilus Drydocks over the years. 

At 62" in overall length, it's substantial enough to offer superb realism without being ungainly to trasnport and store. 

The sub features two modular dry compartments and a separate ballast tank. Primary ballast is handled via an air pump with a secondary sub-system using a separate fully self-contained air pump/bladder system. While it may look old, the engineering is top-tier and the boat works very well. 

If you're looking for a great tinkerer's boat with lots of opportunity for customization or upgrades, this is the one for you! If the dry compartments aren't of interest to you, removal is exceptionally easy and the installation of a typical cylinder of your choosing would be a quick and easy upgrade. 

This is a tremendous opportunity to own a gorgeous boat of one of Germany's most famous u-boats.
