uv18's are going for like $1200usd right now, so that's like a million loonies. You definitely want to avoid flying with a uv18 though so may want to look harder for a Dive X that is NiMH.
What is your budget? I know of a few cuda furies for sale in California
Exchange rate sounds exactly like it felt when I did some training last year south of our border! Cenotes and learning Spanish are taking the place of the Florida springs for the near future!
A Fury would beautiful. My decade long desire for a scooter without a proper 'need' for one has my budget rather fluid but on the low side. Putting it off until I can afford something that won't rapidly hospitalize me or turn into a boat anchor seems necessary. (Not that I don't love tinkering). Buying a little less sorb and eating a few more beans instead of tacos I probably could come up to a few thousand.
Your help guiding me away from unsuitable choices is appreciated. Semi locally the guys who have a dive X aren't willing to part with them.
Thanks!
