So I bought this very unique unit from a well regarded member here on TN. Turns out I am not doing the water hunting I originally thought I'd do- I'm actually more apt to hunt the dirt these days as I don't get to the beach much now- and this may not be the best machine for a newbie like myself- so I am looking to sell it and possibly get a stock Sov down the road.
This Sov GT is built into an Ikelite waterproof case, and can be completely submerged. As you can see in the pics most controls are accessible with the case closed; Black Widow Headphones are connected to the unit thru the case, so they of course come with the sale- the coil is a Sunray S-12, which is hardwired into the box, so you can't just swap out coils, but this is a great coil to have with the Sov GT from what I know. Comes with a AA battery pack- I HAD a NiCad battery, seems I lost it though- if I find it I will mail it to the buyer at my expense. Also there is a side belt bracket so you can belt it to your waist... recently I lost the &^#%@$ nylon belt, but you could probably pick one up very cheaply.
All controls work fine, but one minor thing- the power knob doesn't stop when turned, it will just go 360. Probably a result of the modding because the control shafts had to be extended. It does not effect performance, just putting it out there in the interest of full disclosure! And that said, any sale is final... this is a heavy unit; not for everyone, but for the right (probably more experienced) hunter it will be an awesome piece of equipment!
Interested... contact me for more info. Asking $775, buyer pays shipping. I am not interested in shipping outside the U.S. I hope the pics do it justice!
