I am
posting a EV
liferaft for sale. This is a 6 person life raft in a soft valise pack
EV life rafts are made in
Italy, and up there with Viking and Switlik in quality, much better then
Plastimo or Revere. This is a Level A Solas
Offshore pack
This raft has been onboard my
boat since 1990, and was stowed with its own
canvas cover.
I pulled the raft off my
boat , unpacked, and inflated it. Absolutely no problems. The raft held air for over 24 hours. I replaced the
batteries in the Kit, deflated the raft, and repacked. I did not replace the flares, since there were still in there original package and looked brand new. I keep my own ditch bag with more flares. The
water in the raft's kit, along with first aid kit, sponges, bailer, flashlight and so forth was fine. So I just repacked those items. In addition to the instruction kit insides the raft , I have the original manufactures owner manual. One thing to be noted in the EV's owner manual, it states with proper care, the raft has a unlimited life span.
Now. . ...is this a certified
service? no. . ... But it is what a certified
service company would do. You will have to make your own call if you want this to be certified serviced.
Attached is some photos showing the unpacking and inflating. Just so everyone understands,
Yes. . ..the raft is repacked and ready to go.
Liferaft is located in
Panama City, FL, a couple hours driving east of
Pensacola FL.
I can pack the raft onto a half pallet and set it up for
shipping, but you need to make your own
shipping arrangements. THe EV
internet site states the raft weighs 116 LBS, so figure that into your shipping arrangements. Of course the raft can be picked up. AND...... I occasionally drive over the
Jacksonville FL, or up to Western side of South Carolina, if you want to meet me somewhere.
