You went from asking how to bond your viewports to testing them in just a couple of days, you must be working like crazy getting Trustworthy ready for the convention. Well, as you can see in the responses the boats are typically light. I seem to recall Dan H. or Harold Maynard - a K350 whichever it was - saying they had 400 lbs of lead in the cabin. And remember for salt water you'll need a lot more (3% of your displacement more). <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>I'm really looking forward to seeing Trustworthy in a few weeks, there's nothing like a shiny new boat. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>Best,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><br>Alec<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 11:19 AM, swaters <<a href="mailto:swaters@waters-ks.com" target="_blank">swaters@waters-ks.com</a>> wrote:<br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>Hey guys. I did the first dive in trustworthy. The boat is bone dry with no leaks or even weeping after being in the water for three hours. I did have a few electrical problems due to not getting the grounding bolt area clean enough of epoxy paint, but that is a easy fix. A problem I had was not weighing enough. It was me and a buddy we both weigh 175 pounds or so. The two drop weights are 250 pounds total (same as kitteredge). I ended up putting 100 pounds of lifting weights, about 200 pounds of old jacks and it still wouldn't go down. I had the safty dives stand on it and it went down. After scrathing my head for a while I decided the scuba tanks on the outside which had 100 pounds negative boancy now is close to 0 boyancy so that makes due for a little, of the extra floatation. But what about the extra weight of the jacks and the divers? The only thing I can think of is the tanks were not venting well. I notice they got hydro locked way to easy. It seems like the 1/2 " line is way to small. So the only thing I can figure out is maybe the ballest tanks were not venting all the way. Everything about my sub is built just like the blue prints so that is the only thing I can think of about it being to bouant. Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>Scott Waters<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#575757'>Sent from my U.S. Cellular© Smartphone<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><o:p></o:p></pre></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><br>__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 8801 (20130914) __________<br><br>The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.<br><br><a href="http://www.eset.com">http://www.eset.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div> <BR><BR>__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 8813 (20130917) __________<BR><BR>The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.<BR><BR><A HREF="http://www.eset.com">http://www.eset.com</A><BR> </body></html>
