<DIV><FONT size=3>Considering your formula based on the age and projected life
span of the owner/pilot, I'll provide in my will for who should inherit my
Steinke hood. Hopefully it will still be in unused condition.</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>Difficult to say. On the unit I have some of the tempoary glues to
fix for example zippers covers gives way. <BR>The neck skirt was extremly hard
and the water signal maker tends to leak. They are pretty old. From the 90ies
or so. <BR><BR>But on a price of 15 USD - means less than 1% of the
original price I would suggest the following formular: <BR><BR>Unit to
use x 2, plus one training unit, puls 1 for destroy test, plus a
additional amout for later sale for Psubs friends. <BR><BR>For a 3 person
sub this means 3 x 2 +1 + 1 + 2 = 10 units = 150 USD. <BR>Or in case of real
use 50 USD per life. <BR>say remainig life after successfull emergency exist
is 40 years this means : 50 /40 = 1.25 USD per year of life. <BR>But it
depents stroong on how old are you and how often you have to emergency exit
your sub.. <BR><BR>Statistic is nice.. isn't it ? <BR><BR>Even if the units
have problems: Bring them to a cpompany built rubber boats or duiver suits.
Strip them an rebuild them. <BR>Will be much cheaper than to purchase new
ones.<BR><BR>By the way I order one forward. test them, calculate the fixing
cost and order than 9 more. <BR><BR>If you can choose ask the guy if he can
look for the samp outside of the bag and select younger building

<DIV>Carsten,</DIV>
<DIV>I've wondered how long a Steinke hood is good in storage. Do any
of the components deteriorate over time and require replacement?</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

<DIV>Does anyone know where to get / or how to make a Steinke hood? I
thought I saw Cliff had one for the R-300. That would be a really nice
safety addition to my sub.</DIV>
