Bob,

That was not actually operational, was it?

We spotted it chained to a coconut tree on our way into Key West- and I am sure we left skid marks in the road when we saw it! I couldn't tell if it was operational but it sure looked like it was or someone wanted it to be. The prop is well mounted with bearings and a trolling motor prop, The dome is legit in its mounting as is the front window. You can see the mounts for the dive planes on the fwd sides of the hull and the rudder appeared that it was also operational at one time...Unfortunately I couldn't see inside at the controls...But my guess is yes-BG

That's a Kittredge K250 missing a few bits and pieces. They all differ slightly in details as they're homebuilt from plans.
