RARE Original WW2 US Military Survival Raft Boat. Came from a WW2 Navy Veterans Estate. Will add the provenance when I get it. Back must have small leak somewhere. I left it for 6+ hours outside & it had a little air missing maybe 20% gone. Front was still tight. Middle is hard to tell because its such a small section but looked good. At some point, I may roll it back out and spray soapy water to find & patch the leak. 3 locations to pump. No Cover or Bag. Stencil Markings have worn off. Great Item to be Displayed. Approx 47 inches wide by 102 inches long & 12 tall. Shows minor wear due to age but Overall in good condition. Please see photos as they are considered part of the description.
