Old crab!

While perusing Gumtree, as I normally do during lunch, I was hit by a piece of targeted advertising that caught my eye. Keel Crab is a robotic hull cleaner that would clean Spritz’s hull for me while I sit and fish ....amazing.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keel ... -your-hull#/

I did eventually find the price $134, 662.

Unfortunately I’m $134,600 short.

I got my pool cleaner about 3 years ago off the side of the road, the owner had obviously bought a new one and was unceremoniously carrying the old faded Barracuda out and dumping it on the footpath. The water was still dripping off it. $20 for a new throat and it’s been humming away ever since.

I’m wondering how long before someone turfs a Keel Crab ? 8-)

I hope Keel Crab works better than targeted advertising.

Sooner or later someone will develop a cheaper model. After all there are similar pool Cleaners around.

Actually Ian, the thought occurred to me that an old pool pump powered by a portable generator with my Barracuda ?

That would easier than getting the Investigator into my pool :shock:

We can all take heart that at $134 big ones this is one robot that won’t be putting anyone out of work for a long time yet !
