Gi Joe 1/6sc Vietnam Patrol Boat w/figure/extras RARE!

 For auction is a 1/6 scale Vietnam Riverine Patrol Boat., also known as a PBR. This particular boat, as far as I know, was released as a limited edition
in 1999 in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Gi Joe. That is when I purchased this boat new. I have been the only owner.
  What can be done with this boat is up to your imagination! The boat is very unrefined and made to be cut on and customized. There is a full console inside with steering wheel. The boat comes with 3 .50cal guns (these are quite rare by themselves).
  Here is what I have included as extras to help you authenticate your boat. 1 Gi Joe figure with Vietnam tiger stripe camo & boonie hat. I have him sitting in the turret. You could use him as a SEAL being dropped off on a recon mission. 2 sand bags, M-60,extra bandoliers of ammo, ammo box,.45 pistol,
oil drum, spotlite (that should operate), flashlight.
  There is a piece of olive drab fabric included. The round thing in the photo, just above the pistol is the radome. The only real flaw is the handles on one of the .50 cals are broken off but included, they are in the photo just above the rigth top corner of the sandbag. Looks like clean breaks and can be glued back.
  What I think would be really cool to do with this boat is to motorize it and make it R/C and even motorize the front turret. Very bouyant( have heard it can hold up to 25#.  There is a pretty neat you-tube video of a motorized one..but could be made much much better with some attention to detail.
   The boat measures approx. 40" long and 17" beam.  Could be a fabulous centerpiece to a diarama.
Any how, you get the idea.
  The extras alone cost around $50.00
Since boat is quite large, it will need to be shipped UPS. Figure on around $40.00. Here is what I will do. When you win the auction, I will box it up and take it to the UPS store and get an exact quote. I will charge you exactly what it costs me. You can also insure if you like. All I ask for is a
little patience and will make sure you get this great collectible safe and sound.
