It's small, lightweight, very portable and the air is free. Pays for itself very quickly when you think how much time and money I'd be spending filling bottles.

Here in the Bay Area, most hull cleaners use hookahs. And most of those that do build their own, based on the Thomas 1020 oil-less compressor. Goes for about $230 on ToolBarn.com
Good for you! I will warn you, however, that if these boat are donations to the non-profit, their bottoms will be in the worst possible condition. Prepare yourselfI mist brag... I just got a call for a managing job, managing all the forsale boats for a non profit

Is that compressor an actual hookah compressor?! The ones I have seen are 1200 for one diver and 1600 for two diver?! That does come with 60 feet of hose reg and toe belt...
It's a total toss up of what gets donated. One time we had a custom English launch that was worth 150 tbousand! Other times we get crappy little sail boats with green stuff inside. Usually it's in the middle. I'm excited because I will get more busines when the people buy the boat and stuff

That is just the compressor. You can buy commercially available hookah systems that use this compressor and will spend $700-$800 or you can put one together yourself for half that. Bear in mind that this is an electric compressor, not a gas-powered one, which tend to be much more expensive.
