Liferaft: Platismo 8-Man TransOcean

This is a Solas model with many supplies inside and double tube construction along with a double insulated floor. Read "Adrift by Steven Callahan" and you get an idea what's important in a raft. Comes in a hard cover and has a S/S deck holder. I've had it inspected 3 times and it's in good shape. cost new $5000 asking $1700 OBO.

Re: Liferaft: Platismo 8-Man TransOcean

Chris, Think it's 1998, I purchased in 2002 had it inspected and major warrenty work was performed. Inflate cylinder assembly, and all of the inner tubes were replaced. Raft was in GREAT shape when I started cruising offshore. Had it recertified 2 times (last in 2005). came home in 2006 and it's been in the garage since. I'll have it recertified or sell for $1,000 and you cert. email me if you would like photos... dcgsailing @ optonline . net Don

Re: Liferaft: Platismo 8-Man TransOcean

Not to thread drift, but we have the same liftraft. Where is a good place to get a recertification?

Regards,
Brad
