Looking for a used Hookah compressor (GAST M330X) or other SAFE oilless compressor 120V with small tank

to be used by me on my boat for general bottom cleaning and maintenance. Do not need tank if compressor produces 2 CFM or better, Would consider gas model - really anything that would allow me surface supplied air to about 10ft at heavy work levels.

Don't need regulator/hose but will consider a package.

Thanks

I also WTB a Hookah setup, or Rent

Why don't you just buy a length of hose and adapt it to your regulator between the first and second stage and use a scuba tank? For what you are describing using it for 10' or less it will work fine and not cost you for the compressor. It would just not be usable at any deeper depths because the regulators first stage would remain on the surface.

Worn Out

I agree w/ Sealark. I have a steel 140 tank (but you can use any tank) and a 50' hose /hookah that is as close to having " gills" that I've found for working underwater in depths to 25' or so.They are really great when you are bobbing back and forth to the surface or as a stand-by for when you need to go overboard quickly .

yakdiver

I have a 60' Brownies kayak hose that I dive out of my kayak with. It works outstanding for shallow stuff.A tank will last me a long time at 10' though I don't know how long it would last you doing heavy work. Definately worth a look and a lot cheaper than a hookah setup.

I use to in my younger days easily clean a 40' yacht and both running gear on a single 80 CF bottle. The key to cleaning is to get one of those suction cups with a handle so when cleaning the side you have something to hold onto when you start scrubbing and don't get shoved away from the boat every time you start scrubbing. I would do the topside area without a tank then go down under with the air for the rest.

I bought a Hookah from Carolinaskiffdiver off ebay about 60 days ago and have used it twice . . . no problems and it was an easy transaction . . . I recommend him and you are welcome to use my name . . . I believe his email is something like atwatertech . . .

Anyway, lookup "hookah dive" on ebay and you'll find him there . . . I think I gave $350 or $400 for mine . . . it included a 50ft hose regulator, etc.

Good luck.

I stole mine ( not really). I got a 390 for $2300 otd. I don't remember the name of the shop but it's the one in Ft. Lauderdale connected to Southport Raw Bar on 13th st. You should be able to find it with that info. He will match or beatany advertised price. That is how we got it for that cheap. We have 50' hoses with 2 30' attachments. As a bonus Southport is the greatest place on earth to eat and drink if your not uppity.

I had the dive shop in FWB rig me a 50' hose for a tank several years ago for this very reason. Leave the tank on the dock and jump in.
