[PSUBS-MAILIST] Happy Thanksgiving!

[Douglas Suhr via Personal_Submersibles]

Happy Thanksgiving to my US psub friends, and good tidings to all my non-US
psub friends. Hope this email finds you all well.

I’m considering selling the K-250 submersible ‘Snoopy’ which I purchased
from Alec Smyth in 2015. She’s currently disassembled for an overhaul.
Currently waiting on my sandblaster to get back to me with a quote but he’s
been putting me off. So her hull still needs blasted and painted. All the
acrylic has been refurbished and polished up. In 2019 Alec cut off her
welded keels and replaced them with bolt-on (i.e. removable) aluminum ones.
She also has new stainless “bumper” bars in her low forward quadrant for
viewport protection.

What she needs: sandblasting, painting, new batteries, reassembly including
re-routing of HP O2 and air lines (around new battery trays) and
re-ballasting with lead bricks (weight has changed with keel / battery
replacement).

If I sell her, I will sell everything together, including the old parts
we’ve removed from the hull (steel keels, all ballast leads and steels,
mechanical claw). Tons of extra parts and whatnot. Also spreader bar for
lifting and two welded floor stands.

 Trailer too, of course. The trailer has an extending tongue, guide rails
and winch, spare tire and jack wheel. Both sub and trailer have clean
titles I will transfer. Snoopy has her original log and Alec had also typed
up some checklists and emergency procedures stuff that are all part of the
deal.

The sub has always been stored indoors. She’s currently located in my
hangar at KFKL (Venango Regional in Franklin, PA). $20,000 firm. I really
want her to go to someone within or with strong attachment to the group so
I’m not posting on FB, Craigslist, etc.

Let me know what you guys think. Douglas Suhr
