Sea Hunt Jerry's Porta-Sub
- Pictures speak louder than words here. Sea Hunt Jerry asked me to post these pictures of his Original Voit Porta-Sub restoration project. Details are accurate to Voit advertising photos... right down to the blue and white colors and custom Voit Logo Decals. Very nice Jerry.. VERY Nice!

- Jerry said the motor looks like a starter motor from a car.

Re: Sea Hunt Jerry's Porta-Sub
Hi,
I recieved this scooter after my friend Rocky Kent RockwelL"s long battle with CANCER.
He was a true friend and a huge asset to the diving and flying community.
This scooter was painted yellow over red as some of them from the manufacturer.
I wanted mine to be like an original Voit Porta sub restoration.
My friend Glen did a fantastic job repainting it and aligning the Voit decals on this.
Currently working on getting a battery next week for it.
The guts look like a 60"s Ford car starter and solenid.
