Being able to test right off the boat<br> ramp is pretty desireable. The fastest I can tow is 4 mph,<br> but that is in calm circumstances. If it is wavy like the<br> ocean, or great lakes can be, that would be very rought<br> several hour tow. Unless someone has a working class boat<br> with a crane they would loan me?<br> Hehe.Thanks,Scott Waters<br> <br> <br> <br> Sent<br> from my U.S. Cellular© Smartphone <br> "kocpnt tds.net via Personal_Submersibles"<br> <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br> Hi Scott,<br> Out of Kewaunee you can get 450 feet in about 11<br> miles!<br> Best Regards,<br> Jim K<br> <br> <br> On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 8:40 PM, swaters via<br> Personal_Submersibles<br> <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br> wrote:<br> <br> Yes.
