….ya know, that looks like a 17' Grumman aluminum canoe with serious flames coming up, all around it.
Probably see it on craigslist as a Grumman with minor surface damage, but still very usable, for just $250 …. $300 with two Grumman paddles … ?
For getting out to an island in the winter to fight a fire, what works good is a canoe like this, dragged and paddled across, and indian pumps ….. backpack, hand carry water-fire pumps ….
Indian 17904-1 galvanized fire pump 5-gallon …….
