A Shuttle Craft is a unique craft, basically a u-shaped boat where a pwc gets inserted to power the boat.
These are kind of rare and hard to find.

I always wanted one and shortly after my divorce, my friend Ben bought one with a 01 Seadoo GTX in it. He sold the GTX and offered to sell me the Shuttle Craft for $2,000. I wasn't able to buy it at the time and he ended up selling it to someone else for $2,500.
Then come this spring, I found one on FB Marketplace for $800! It was about 2 hours away from me. I went and picked it on June 13th, it was a rainy Friday the 13th. The sellers had it parked towards the back infront of a single car garage. It had trees covering it and was full of leaves and muck, as well as being in very tall grass. The jack was broken and I couldn't get it high enough to hook up on my ball hitch. I had to find a 4x4 post to use as a leverage to lift the tongue up on to the ball hitch. Once I towed it out of the tall grass I discovered both the tires were flat. Fortunately their was a good spare on the trailer and the seller had another old good tire available. I was out in the rain jacking up the trailer and putting the good tires on.
Once it came time to pay the seller, they informed me they never put the craft into their name and it was still in the name of the previous owner, however they had the bill of sale from that previous owner. Once I looked at the bill of sale I was shocked that it was Ben's. This was the exact same Shuttle Craft that Ben had tried to sell me back in May 2021!!
I got it home and slowly began to clean it up, remove the faded decals, replace the tires with brand new tires, and replace the bunks.
Next I will be redoing the seats and alot of wetsanding and buffing along with some minor decal work.
